1/ The Solana Foundation has joined forces with @metaplex and @Audiusproject to launch a Creator Fund aiming to bring in the next wave of musicians, artists and more into crypto!
2/ Crypto networks are now providing infrastructure for creators and artists of all kinds to connect directly with their fans and sidestep extractive networks, management firms, and centralized social media platforms.
3/ We can't afford to wait for creators to discover what blockchains can do for them.
