Phoenix-based artist and poet Brandon Adamson is in the process of launching a new NFT collection called “Mod Commodities” on Proton’s NFT platform, Proton Mint.

Crescendo Poised to Launch Music and Arts Marketplace on Algorand

While perusing the list of projects running on Algorand, I came across one called Crescendo (CRSD) which got my attention.

Several months ago when Polygon/MATIC began really hitting its stride, and new tokens were popping up on the network left and right, someone randomly added me to a “PolyShiba” group on Telegram. Mildly annoyed, I assumed it was just another dime-a-dozen scam coin and ignored it. However, I never removed the group from my Telegram. …
