Mynt Music is a Web3 platform designed to address the challenges artists face with traditional streaming services, such as low revenue and a lack of direct engagement with fans. By leveraging blockchain technology, Mynt provides artists with the tools to take greater control over their work and monetization.

‍

The core of the Mynt platform is built on the Hedera network. This allows artists to mint their music, artwork, and other exclusive content as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera Token Service (HTS). In addition to NFTs, artists can create and issue their own unique, fungible "Fan Tokens." These tokens function as a digital key to an artist's community, granting holders access to exclusive content, unreleased tracks, private channels, and unique real-world experiences. This model transforms passive listeners into active stakeholders in an artist's career.

‍

By building on Hedera, Mynt benefits from the network's high speed, sustainability, and low, predictable transaction fees, which are essential for processing the high volume of micro-transactions involved in a thriving fan economy.
