At it’s core, web3 is about anyone being able to not only interact with a distributed system, but to participate in running it. Station takes this core value and applies it to what music streaming can be; each artist running their own server and networked together with peer-to-peer technology.

I’m not going to reiterate everything that is in the [docs](https://docs.qnch.network)

But wanted to announce that Station is now operational on the newly launched Paseo Asset Hub and will be coming to Kusama next before also being deployed to Polkadot; it’s multichain ready too, so artists can choose the network that their finances operate on. Happy to make it available on other EVM chains in the dotsama eco.

Quickstart: you can buy a track, album, rent an album, and support the artist with an integrated fan club patronage service by:

1. going to [beta.qnch.network](https://beta.qnch.network)

2. search for ‘gnso’

3. choose the ‘random’ album

4. make a purchase

My north star was to make a service that was minimally extractive from artists. It was only possible through the lens of web3 that is uncrompromised through the unrelenting work of the people in this ecosystem.
