Tycho Launches Web3 Community On Polygon Blockchain
Tycho is using Web3 technology to forge an artist-to-fan community built for the future. Tycho’s unique come-up allowed him to experience various trades within the music industry before rising to prominence as an artist himself.

While the subsequent social media era has certainly had its upsides, Tycho continued, he’s been eager to return to build a stronger, more collaborative sense of community. To that end, the Tycho Open Source Community aims to unite Tycho’s fans from around the world. powered by...
