๐Ÿ”ฅ Despite the current conditions in the cryptocurrency market, Monday has never been luckier!

๐ŸŽ‰ Meet our new launchpad narrative: airdrops! ๐Ÿš€ We are kicking off our first airdrop campaign featuring Stage, a web3 music platform on the BNB chain. ๐ŸŽต

๐Ÿ”ฅ Firestarter always takes care of its community and finds ways to provide them with great deals. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re bringing you another exciting opportunity right now! ๐ŸŒŸ

What is Stage? ๐ŸŽต

Stage is a revolutionary music-only platform designed to democratize talent discovery and transform the music industry. By combining the excitement of TV talent competitions with a gamified user experience and a unique play-to-earn model, Stage empowers both artists and fans in unprecedented ways.

Why Stage? ๐ŸŒŸ

Stage leverages cutting-edge Web3 technology to create a revolutionary business model for the music industry. Artists can now make money directly from their work, and fans can earn rewards for their support. Itโ€™s a win-win scenario thatโ€™s set to change the game! ๐Ÿš€

1๏ธโƒฃ Artists upload video performances to compete in round-based competitions. ๐ŸŽค

2๏ธโƒฃ Fans pay to vote for their favorite artists and win stage badges: unique digital collectibles packed with exclusive prizes. ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ

3๏ธโƒฃ Artists take home 60% of the proceeds spent voting for them. ๐Ÿ’ธ

Revolutionary Engagement ๐ŸŒŸ
Stage addresses the glaring disconnect in traditional talent shows where fan engagement isnโ€™t rewarded long-term, and artists struggle to monetize their work.

Despite the global reach of talent shows, 99.5% of music artists on platforms like Spotify earn less than $10k a year. Stage revolutionizes this relationship, transforming passive engagement into an active, rewarding, and financially beneficial experience. ๐Ÿ’ธ

Cutting-Edge Technology ๐Ÿš€
Stage is the first platform to embrace AI music, introducing AI music competitions and on-chain tools that enable anyone to tokenize music samples, melodies, beats, and vocals. ๐ŸŽถ This innovation pioneers a new era of interactive and investment-driven music engagement. ๐ŸŒ

Roadmap

Industry Support and Vision ๐ŸŒŸ

Developed by AI and crypto industry professionals, including those from blockchain.com, Stage aims to redefine the stardom industry. With backing from major KOL influencers, top-tier TGE partners, and a BMG records deal, Stage is set to target 500K users in the next three months. The platform currently boasts close to 50K users after launching its Beta version, with more than 300 KOLs invested and music ambassadors reaching a combined audience of 13M+ followers. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Future Prospects ๐Ÿ”ฎ

Stageโ€™s vision extends beyond music, aiming to evolve into the ultimate SocialFi hub. The platform plans to nurture talents across various fields such as football, acting, comedy, and dance, making it a comprehensive platform for fan-driven engagement and rewards. ๐ŸŽญโšฝ Music is just the beginning; Stage is poised to become the premier platform democratizing talent discovery. ๐Ÿš€
