Web3 technology is delivering a fast change to the music scene. It offers new opportunities for music artists to take control of their work and reach a wider audience. 

As a decentralized system, Web3 eliminates middlemen such as traditional record labels, allowing artists to retain ownership of their intellectual property.

We’re witnessing the emergence of music platforms, marketplaces, and communities, all built on the principles of Web3. With this new ecosystem, music artists have an alternative way to monetize their work, grow a fan base, and build their careers.

While all of these benefits do sound very appealing, it’s important to also be aware of all the challenges that come with the Web3 music ecosystem. Success is very much dependent on each individual artist and the strategies they take.

In this Web3 music starter pack, we will provide you with the best learning material on the essential tools, resources, and platforms that will help you prepare yourself and succeed in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, this guide will give you the knowledge you need to navigate the Web3 music world.

P.S the list will be updated regularly.
