Hello one and all, recently we teased the community about an announcement of an announcement, now I am excited to let you know what we have been working on. For 6 years, I have had this idea to build a platform that can truly benefit emerging, established artists and fans in a meaningful and tangible way.
We have supported over 300 artists on our Mixcloud channel and across our socials, by promoting their mixes, EPs, events and Merch. We had an Android & IOS App called GMC with the above incl. artist profiles as well as the website with global artist locations and bookings feature. This was not enough to truly make a real meaningful difference for artists directly.
Now with the advent of blockchain technology and crypto currencies (I refer to as “digital currency” to keep it more familiar) we have an opportunity to build a new dynamic hybrid platform, that is as easy to use as typing a word in Google, i.e. a platform that does not require a steep learning curve to understand the inner workings, but has a familiar UIUX to anything, we use online or on mobile today. Blockchain tech is often referred to as Web 3.0 which I have mentioned in numerous FB posts and in my “It’s all a Bit Crypto” articles written for Iconic Underground Magazine, previous issues.
Digital currencies have the ability to transform the way we interact directly with fans, via direct 24/7 tipping, selling merch, event tickets and more. Using digital currencies means you can transfer value peer to peer directly between people and bypass expensive traditional 3rd parties like Banks, Credit Cards, PayPal, Venmo etc. the concept of self financial custodianship, is a reality that I have embraced for more than 12 months. From my own direct experience, I know it works and the tech is out there to support it.
So RONDO is evolving and we are on a mission to build an ecosystem for Music & Live Entertainment that uses our own “RND” as the base digital currency, fueling the global ecosystem, and can be used throughout the music industry in a variety of innovative ways. We will further reduce the friction for Musicians earning and using digital currencies in the real world, as well as for fans as they are an important aspect of our engagement globally.
The platform will also support multiple music digital currencies in our own secure wallet, thereby expanding the global user base at scale.
Above is the birds eye view of the Rondo Ecosystem and we will dive into more specific details in future articles. In the meantime if anyone has any questions or wants to get seriously involved, you are welcome to contact me directly at jonathan@rondo.me.
Token Distribution Offer
To kick it all off, we launched an early adopters “RND Token Distribution” campaign and everyone is invited. All “ETH” Ethereum, sent will go into the developers fund for exchange listings, marketing, smart wristband R&D, web & wallet development.
The 40 Million RND tokens are divided into 4 rounds of 10 Million RND each, when supporters send minimum of 0.006 ETH ($1.20+-) they automatically receive 3992+- RND, and this amount reduces by increments of 2% after each successful transaction, until it reaches “zero” when we hit 65,474 transactions and then we reset the smart contract for round 2 and so on, more info and to see the live RND counter: www.rondo.me
For the next phase of development, we are gathering a team of developers with the right stuff as well as people to manage all our engagement/outreach, marketing and lastly an experienced management team to help make this project a viable and sustainable global company. Of course our regular activities are ongoing. You can follow and engage directly with the team at https://t.me/rondoglobal
