Tune.FM is a decentralized music streaming platform and NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network. It’s designed to upend and modernize the music industry's traditional compensation model. Its core mission is to enable transparent, secure, and instant artist payments while fostering direct connections with fan communities. 

‍

The Tune.FM platform is built on the Hedera blockchain network and utilizes the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for its native JAM token ($JAM), which relies on embedded Hedera features to facilitate real-time micropayments for artists, who are compensated for every second their music is streamed. 

‍

Tune.FM’s "play-to-earn" model features high speed processing with comparatively low fees, thus potentially allowing artists to retain a significantly greater portion of their earnings when compared to traditional streaming platforms.

‍

Beyond streaming, Tune.FM features an integrated NFT marketplace where artists can mint and sell digital music collectibles including songs, albums, artwork, and exclusive fan experiences such as backstage passes via JAM tokens. For listeners, Tune.FM offers a platform for new music discovery, direct artist interactions and support, and a way to earn JAM tokens through fan engagement.

The Aria Network is an integrated media company founded in 2018 and based in Los Angeles, California. Its focus is on creating immersive digital experiences that bridge the gap between physical and virtual assets. Aria works with global brands, sports leagues, and celebrities to develop new forms of engagement through augmented reality and other digital technologies.

‍

Aria's primary product is the Aria Exchange, a platform for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A key feature of the exchange is the concept of "living NFTs," which allows creators to continuously add new content and value to a token after its initial purchase. The platform is designed to be carbon-negative, tracking the carbon footprint of each transaction and offsetting it through partnerships.

‍

The Aria Exchange is built with a direct and foundational connection to the Hedera network. Every NFT minted and traded on the Aria Exchange is securely stored on the Hedera distributed ledger. This integration provides an immutable and transparent record of ownership and transaction history for every digital asset.

‍

NFT Grade is a service that provides a standardized, objective grading system for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), aiming to bring greater transparency and trust to the digital collectibles market. The company's mission is to create a reliable method for assessing the value and rarity of NFTs, similar to how physical collectibles like trading cards are professionally graded.

‍

The core of NFT Grade's service is its proprietary algorithm, which analyzes the metadata of an NFT to determine its rarity and overall grade. This process takes into account various factors, including the individual traits of the NFT and their prevalence within the entire collection. The platform provides a detailed "Grade Card" for each assessed NFT, which includes an overall score, a breakdown of its trait rarities, and a unique serial number. This allows collectors and investors to make more informed decisions by providing a clear and objective measure of an NFT's value.

‍

NFT Grade utilizes Hedera's high-throughput and low-cost infrastructure to create a secure and transparent record of its grading process. Each Grade Card is minted as an NFT on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), creating an immutable and auditable record of the grade.
