Andrew Antar, Founder and CEO of Tune.FM is joining Dallas Santana, founder of Space Blue at Consensus 2024, the world’s most influential event for leaders across the cryptocurrency, blockchain and web3 industries to discuss the new partnership, and the future of the music streaming platform. There are 26 songs on the two-volume series (13 songs per volume) from some of the world’s most renowned and respected artists in the industry, which landed on the moon in the Lunaprise time capsule. Summer of Love Volumes I and II will drop exclusively on Tune.FM this summer.

When the Music Gets Played, The Artist Gets Paid
Breaking away from the traditional subscription-based and ad-supported models of mainstream streaming services today, Tune.FM is creating a more sustainable ecosystem through decentralization and tokenization (JAM), allowing artists to be compensated significantly and more fairly. In fact, Tune.FM compensates artists by up to 100X compared to other streaming platforms. In addition, artists can sell music, release exclusive NFT drops and multimedia elements directly to fans, and can take advantage of exclusive, immersive super fan experiences including merch bundles, meet and greets, VIP events, backstage passes, FaceTime opportunities with artists, and more. Offering a pay-as-you-go model, Tune.FM gives users the ability to choose what they listen to and pay for only what they consume, and to get compensated for listening to promoted music streams, representing a seismic shift in the music fan experience.

“This partnership with Space Blue further underscores how Tune.FM is creating a paradigm shift in the way music is consumed, distributed and monetized,” said Antar. “Tune.FM’s innovative and disruptive approach features a music streaming platform that offers rare or exclusive content from legacy artists and is a great platform to introduce new and upcoming artists. This approach provides great opportunities for artists to connect with fans and significantly expand monetization opportunities through streaming royalty micropayments and exclusive, unlockable and immersive super fan experiences. This is just the beginning of the type of content we will offer on Tune.FM,” said Antar.

Driven by his passion for music and technology, Andrew is on a mission to disrupt and democratize the music industry. Andrew’s visionary approach and the immense potential of Tune.FM’s model and vision have captured the attention of investors as he has secured over $30 million in funding.

Space Blue Club made history curating the Lunaprise museum which landed on the moon on February 22, 2024 and is a global space tech-art community, where art and technology collide, providing VIP experiences during high-profile Space Launch events and hosting global impact and charity auctions to support nonprofit causes, reinforcing our commitment to social responsibility. NFT Art has revolutionized the creative landscape as Space Blue Club partners with leading blockchain networks to mint rare NFT artwork for collectors around the globe.

Earlier this year, Space Blue made history when the Lunar Lander Odysseus landed on the moon with the Lunaprise Museum, a time capsule with 222 art projects on board curated by Space Blue. With Mission 1 complete, Lunaprise is curating partnerships with artists and unique brands for Mission 2, scheduled for later this year.

“Space Blue’s mission is to create a unique, rare asset class of content off earth through the Lunaprise time capsule, and a platform for artists worldwide, supporting humanity and promoting a sustainable future and today we are thrilled to further propel our mission forward and partner with Tune.FM to bring these unreleased tracks to music lovers and fans worldwide,” said Dallas Santana, Space Blue founder. “We have been waiting for the right partner with the right platform and Tune.FM is the perfect match for both us and music fans across the globe.”

Tulufan, Xinjiang: For the first time, a new energy plant and station has achieved “all-green electricity” operation

Published

on

By

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, PayPal Ventures, the global venture capital arm of PayPal, announced an additional investment in Chaos Labs, an industry leader in onchain risk management. This investment underscores PayPal Ventures’ confidence in Chaos Labs’ potential and their blockchain products.

Chaos Labs’ recent launch of Edge, a new decentralized oracle protocol, has garnered significant attention within the industry. Edge has already secured a remarkable $30B over the last 2 months and has been adopted by leading exchanges such as Jupiter, the top perpetuals exchange on Solana, and GMX, the leading exchange on Arbitrum.

Edge offers a comprehensive, low-latency oracle solution, combining accurate price data with actionable market intelligence. Its advanced architecture ensures the security and efficiency of DeFi applications while providing insights into market dynamics and security risks. Edge monitors the market for specific risk signals, performs the offchain data parsing and computation, and outputs one actionable data point.

Omer Goldberg, CEO and Founder of Chaos Labs, said, “We’re excited to receive the strong confidence and additional support from the PayPal Ventures team. Edge by Chaos is the culmination of our entire company’s work and expertise.

Chaos Labs has experienced significant growth, tripling its customer base and securing billions in trading volume, loans, and incentives.

PayPal Ventures’ investment aligns with PayPal’s ongoing commitment to the blockchain ecosystem. In May 2024, PayPal launched its stablecoin, PYUSD, on the Solana blockchain.

Amman Bhasin, Partner at PayPal Ventures, said, “Our continued investment in Chaos Labs reflects our belief in their vision to create a safer crypto ecosystem and move more financial services on chain. Chaos Labs has emerged as a leading risk authority in the sector and we are thrilled to witness their evolution as they launch innovative products like Edge to mitigate oracle vulnerabilities.”
