One of the most exciting elements of web3 is the way it is expected to disrupt the music industry. TokenTraxx is doing just that by facilitating new and unique ways for artists and fans to interact with one another. Operating as a holistic web3 infrastructure for the music industry, the entire platform is powered by the TRAXX token and features 3 main segments: TRAXX Studios, Marketplace, and Advisory.

TRAXX Studios and Marketplace

TokenTraxx enables  artists to release their own studio tokens to establish direct relationships with their fans. This is done through TRAXX Studios, upgradeable smart contracts running on TRAXX Protocol. Creators can utilize the fully white-labelable minting software to deploy the smart contract and marketplace in unique environments, utilizing their own proprietary platforms. These smart contracts and marketplaces are fully Ethereum and Polygon compatible, supporting ERC-721, ERC-1155, and ERC-20 tokens, with Zilliqa compatibility in the pipeline.

Studio tokens, unique to each artist, can give token-holders exclusive perks. These benefits can include VIP seats, limited merch, meet and greets, or a percentage of profits/royalties. Through studio tokens, fans are able to invest in the future of artists they think will be successful, or that they purely want to support. Artists have full ownership of the smart contract and control over the tokenomics, including token supply, distribution, and how/when studio tokens are sold.

The TokenTraxx marketplace allows fans to mint, buy, and sell music-related NFTs. Users may collect these NFTs, trade them, or use them to claim special perks. These NFTs can be paid for in cash or crypto for ease of access and usability. There are major drops lined up for Q1 of 2023. 

TRAXX TOKEN

TRAXX is the platform token that aims to power the entire ecosystem. There is a total supply of 350,000,000 TRAXX tokens and they exist cross-chain on the Ethereum mainnet, Matic network (Polygon), and Zilliqa. Fees generated by all activities within TRAXX Studios result in TRAXX being removed from the supply, in the form of buy and burns.

TokenTraxx collects no commissions from running activities on the TRAXX Protocol and rather removes fees from supply, creating a self sustaining ecosystem. TRAXX can currently be staked on AscendEX for 50% APR!
