Incubated by TrustSwap

As part of this partnership, the ANote team is offering this early-access Private Round opportunity exclusively for the TrustSwap community, including subscribers of The Crypto App Pro+.

Read on to learn about all the ways you can participate and maximize your allocations.

Introducing ANote Music

Since launching the ANote Music Marketplace in 2020, it has become the top music royalty trading platform in Europe and developed a passionate community of over 25,000 music lovers and investors.

By auctioning fractional royalties from popular music catalogues, ANote Music creates compelling new opportunities with long-term growth potential and unlocks new sources of liquidity for music owners, including artists, producers, and record labels, so they can continue making great music.

With the launch of the new ANote Backstage Pass programme, powered by the $ANOTE token (issued and governed by ANote Solutions GmbH), the ANote community will soon be getting the “VIP” treatment, including exclusive rewards and opportunities to enjoy and experience music on a whole new level and maximise the value of their music royalties portfolio.

All About The Music

Everyone loves music, but owning and trading in music royalty rights has traditionally been exclusively for wealthy eccentrics and industry insiders. The complexity of managing ownership of music rights and collecting royalties has kept most people out of this market.

Meanwhile, the market friction and inefficiencies in the music industry often leave even successful artists feeling short-changed and under-compensated for their hard work. If they want to monetize their music, they may face an “all or nothing” ultimatum and have to decide whether they want to give up creative control of their art for some quick cash.

ANote Music’s Platform allows music rights owners to auction a portion of the royalty interest from their music catalogues on their own terms while retaining full creative control. By engaging with their fanbase and selling a portion of the music royalties they are regularly receiving, they can value their music at fair market terms while retaining 100% control over their management and artistic freedom.

Music catalogues currently represented on the ANote Music platform include chart-topping hit songs performed by international superstars like Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Avicii, and many more.

Market Landscape

People listen to music (and generate royalties) regardless of market fluctuations. This makes music royalties an attractive and uncorrelated asset class.

Thanks to streaming and the evolution of new technologies, the music industry is now in an upward trend, with regular royalty payouts delivering competitive yields. Music revenue growth is expected to reach €150 billion by 2030, more than double the levels it had in 2021, as forecasted by Goldman Sachs.

ANote Music’s target market is anyone interested in buying, selling, and auctioning royalty interest from popular music. This includes professional investors, retail traders, music fans, and collectors, as well as music producers, songwriters, artists, publishers, and record labels.

ANote Backstage Pass

ANote will soon be launching the new ANote Backstage Pass programme, powered by the $ANOTE utility token.

The ANote Backstage Pass is a new token-based loyalty programme designed to supercharge the ANote Music platform by providing additional benefits for the ANote community, including exclusive access to catalogues, discounts, and other premium perks that can help you get the most value out of your royalties portfolio.

$ANOTE Token

The ANote Backstage Pass will include several tiers based on the amount of $ANOTE tokens held. With more $ANOTE tokens, you can unlock higher tiers and climb the ranks for increased benefits. Tokens can also be redeemed for a variety of perks and benefits to create an interactive and engaging experience for the ANote community.

ANote Backstage Pass benefits include:

Lower fees on the ANote Music platform
Early access to popular auctions
Referral rewards bonuses
Multiplier bonus on music royalties
Discounts (partial reimbursement) on purchases of music royalties
Reimbursement for tickets to music events and selected music streaming subscriptions (exclusively on ANote Platform).

Participation and Allocation

This Launchpad offering is for a Private Round allocation of the $ANOTE token.

As an incubation partner, ANote Music has agreed to provide bonus allocations exclusively for the TrustSwap community. The Public Round launch and TGE are currently planned for Q4 2023 and may involve other launchpads as well.

Anyone who wants to join can apply, but application does not guarantee an allocation.

As always, anyone with a $SWAP Staking Score of at least 4,000 can receive a guaranteed allocation provided that individuals (and entities) pass KYC (jurisdictional restrictions apply). Token allocation will be split up among eligible participants proportionately based on their percentage of the total combined Staking Scores. Any unclaimed allocations after the initial funding round will be offered to those who might otherwise be ineligible.

Visit the TrustSwap Dashboard to check your staking score. You can add more SWAP and/or increase the duration of your stakes at any time to increase your Staking Score. To learn more about Staking Scores and the TrustSwap Long-Term Staking Pool (LTSP), read our comprehensive blog post.

BONUS Allocations for The Crypto App Pro+ 1-Year Subscribers

As part of this special Private Round event, The Crypto App is launching a new “Be The VC” campaign. Anyone with an active 1-year subscription to The Crypto App Pro+ is eligible for a $1000 bonus allocation in the ANote Private Round. These bonuses are on top of your normal score-based allocations.

To secure this bonus allocation, click the link below and follow the instructions provided to download The Crypto App, sign up for a Pro+ annual subscription, and register your purchase ID with the TCA team. Be sure to complete all the steps before the deadline on July 5th, 2023 to qualify.

>CLICK HERE TO CLAIM YOUR BONUS <

EXTRA BONUS for original “Be The VC” participants!

100 pioneers participated in the first “Be The VC” campaign and locked in $500 allocations before any names or details of this project were even announced. They can now also claim this additional $1000 bonus as well for a total bonus of $1500!

Thank you for your support!

All of these bonuses are stackable so that anyone can increase their allocations by staking more SWAP, extending their active stakes, and/or subscribing to The Crypto App Pro+ annual plan.

If you already signed up during a previous “Be The VC” campaign, you are already eligible and don’t need to register again. Just join the Launchpad using the same email you registered with, and your bonus will be applied.

Step-By-Step Guide

Prepare for Launch Day by ensuring that your SWAP stakes are topped up and/or you have completed the registration of your TCA Pro+ annual subscription before July 5th. You can also complete your KYC in advance.

NOTE: The snapshot will be taken at 5 PM UTC on July 8th, 2023 (24 hours after the Launch event begins).

On July 7th, 2023, at 5:00 PM UTC, the application window will open for 24 hours. During this time, go to the TrustSwap Launchpad and click the “Start” button to apply. The snapshot will be taken when the application window closes.
Complete all of the steps required for KYC verification. This can be done in advance at any time for free in just a few minutes. To save time on launch day, complete your KYC registration now.
On July 8th, 2023, at 5:00 PM UTC, the application portal will close, and a snapshot will be taken of all active stakes. There will then be a waiting period of up to 48 hours as the ANote team finalizes internal processes.
Successful applicants will receive an email confirming their total allocation (the maximum amount they are allowed to contribute to the token offering) and asking how much they wish to contribute. Individual allocations will be either the full allocation or the pledged amount, whichever is lower.
You will have 24 hours to send funds. After 24 hours, your position will be given to the next in line, and you will lose it. Payments must be sent in USDC or USDT on either Ethereum (ERC20), BSC (BEP20), or Polygon (MATIC) blockchain.
Any tokens that are unclaimed after the initial funding round may be offered to those who applied successfully but were not eligible for guaranteed allocations.
