Tune.FM, which describes itself as a decentralized music-streaming project atop the Hedera Hashgraph blockchain, aims to help artists earn more in royalties from their music by “streaming royalty micropayments and digital music collectibles,” with its native JAM token.
“Artists can expand their fanbase by promoting their music with JAM, so first-time listeners can play-to-earn JAM to discover newly promoted music. This allows artists to earn an ROI on their promotion as new fans discover and stream their music again and again,” Tune.FM wrote in a press release shared with CoinDesk.
The new capital will go towards growing its users as well as towards efforts to promote its token, marketing, development, and new product offerings, Tune.FM said.
“Tune.FM will soon launch a desktop application for Mac and Windows to complement our mobile apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store,” the team shared in the press release.

Bitcoin isn’t under quantum threat yet, but upgrade could take 5-10 years
Even if quantum machines capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography are decades away, the work required to update software, infrastructure and user behavior would be measured in years, not months.
What to know:
- Bitcoin developers are preparing for the potential threat of quantum computing, which could take 5 to 10 years to address if necessary.
- The shift in focus is from the immediacy of quantum threats to the logistics of updating Bitcoin's infrastructure and user behavior.
- Bitcoin's conservative governance model complicates large-scale transitions, requiring significant coordination for any move toward quantum-resistant cryptography.
