New protocol connects fans, artists and operators through a participation credit earned through engagement and redeemed for real-world music experiences.

OREM, Utah, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Block Reign, Inc. today announced MusIQ, a music participation network built natively on the Gnodi Blockchain. MusIQ is a digital participation credit designed to coordinate fan engagement, artist promotion and operator infrastructure within a single ecosystem. Block Reign is building the MusIQ ecosystem on Gnodi, which serves as the protocol, settlement and security layer for the network.

Fans earn LYRIQ, a blockchain-based digital reward, by engaging with the music they love: attending events, streaming content, sharing promotions, joining fan communities, and completing campaign challenges. They may redeem it for event tickets, backstage access, digital collectibles, merchandise discounts and other exclusive experiences. Individuals will operate and host MusIQ service nodes that verify participation events and may be rewarded for their contribution to the network. Every MusIQ action is recorded as a transaction on the Gnodi blockchain, so engagement directly produces on-chain activity.

“What excites me about MusIQ Network is, quite simply, the network rewards people for enjoying music,” said Mary Kanagy, founding community member of the MusIQ Network ecosystem. “Showing up, streaming, sharing and supporting artists all count, and the rewards they may earn open real doors to phenomenal experiences. As a founding member, I’m looking forward to helping build a community around this new way of enjoying MusIQ.”

MusIQ at a Glance

• Native to Gnodi: MusIQ runs as a native application on the decentralized Gnodi Layer 1 blockchain, not as a bridged asset or separate chain, and relies on Gnodi for execution, validation and gas processing.
• Predictable emissions: Supply is capped at 1 billion MusIQ and follows a declining issuance schedule modeled after Bitcoin‘s halving, moving the network from early incentives toward organic, usage-based activity.
• Three independent reward pools: Issuance is permanently divided among Proof of Action (60%) for fan and artist engagement, Proof of Contribution (30%) for service node operators, and Protocol Commitment (10%) for participants who voluntarily lock the LYRIQ token for defined periods.
• Campaign framework: Artists, promoters, labels and communities can launch campaigns that set participation rules and redemption privileges. Campaigns cannot create or sell LYRIQ, so supply stays governed by the protocol.
• Operator model: Node operators obtain service software licenses to process participation events and submit reward transactions to Gnodi. Licenses grant software access, not token ownership.
• Developer-ready: MusIQ is built on the Gnodi EVM, an Ethereum-compatible execution environment within the Gnodi Cosmos SDK Layer 1 blockchain. Leveraging Solidity smart contracts, EVM-compatible development tools, and standard wallet integrations, developers can build fan applications, artist tools, and redemption services.

“MusIQ is designed so that applications can build on Gnodi with clear, enforceable rules,” said Cory Clinton, Chief Technology Officer of Block Reign. “Emissions, node authorization and redemptions are all handled on-chain, which gives artists and developers a dependable foundation.” Block Reign plans to support ecosystem growth through programs for artist activation, venue and event integration, developer tools and community onboarding.
