Polygon (MATIC/USD) saw a high level of growth in value and trading volume after Mastercard announced a Polygon-based accelerator program.
The program aims to help musicians build careers by leveraging the power of Web3.
Polygon is a Layer-2 scaling solution, or sidechain, that runs alongside the Ethereum (ETH/USD) blockchain to enable quicker transactions and lower fees and is powered by the MATIC cryptocurrency.
Mastercard’s partnership with Polygon as a catalyst for growthIn the latest Polygon news, on January 6, 2023, Mastercard made an announcement surrounding their “Mastercard ARtist Accelerator” program.
The blog post outlined that from Spring of 2023, the company will connect five emerging musicians from across the globe with mentors that can help them set up their brand in the Web3 music space.
The program will also feature a live stream of the artists’ work throughout the later part of the year.
Mastercard will also launch a non-fungible token (NFT) collection called the “Mastercard Music Pass” for those not selected for the program originally.
The intention here is to give holders access to educational materials, and unique resources, through brand collaborations, as a means of helping musicians learn about Web3 integration within the music sector.
“Web3 has the potential to empower a new type of artist that can grow a fanbase, make a living and introduce novel mediums for self-expression and connection on their own terms,” noted Polygon Studios CEO Ryan Watt.
