According to CoinDesk, venture capital firm a16z Crypto led a $7 million seed round for blockchain ticketing platform KYD Labs. Built on Solana, KYD aims to empower artists and venues to control ticket sales, fan data, and revenue, addressing the issue of revenue loss from secondary market circulation. It is reported that after using the KYD system, ticket revenue for the well-known New York venue LPR increased by 30%. KYD plans to expand to over 100 U.S. venues by 2026 and launch two tokens, $KYD and $TIX, to strengthen the community and financial foundation.
