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