THE RING VIPFor artistsThe Ring by Lux
How music
remembers you
A black band, a red marbled inlay, an NFC chip inside. Never needs charging. Wear it on your finger or on a chain. Every show you tap into, every stream, every purchase: remembered, for life.
The problem
You've been to 30 shows. Spotify thinks you're a monthly listener.
Music already produces mountains of data. Streams counted, tickets scanned, merch shipped. None of it connects, so the fan who has been to 30 shows is treated exactly the same as someone at their first, and the one who owns every drop is invisible.

One identity. Every artist. The whole record in one place.
Why a ring
Not an app alone. Not a QR code. Not a wristband.
Streaming platforms don't see the room. Ticketing platforms don't know the fan. Fan apps don't travel with people. The Ring does: a persistent identity fans own, and the only thing that can prove a specific human was actually in the room. Software counts streams. A ring proves you were there.

The Ring
a persistent identity fans own
Apps measure attention. A ring measures attendance.
Tap in
Proof you were there
Tap the ring at the door and the night goes on your record, with a custom badge for that exact show. Staff check you in on their own phones, so it works in any room on any tour, from an LA club to a basement in Prague. Meet the artist? Tap their ring and earn the badge that proves it.

Listening
Every stream counts. Literally.
Link Spotify or Apple Music and every play earns points that level you up, stream by stream. Sign up with the email you have always used and your past merch orders count too: a day-one supporter never starts at zero.

Points and tiers
Newbie to Diamond. And one tier we won't name.
Taps, streams, merch, referrals, streaks: everything earns, and points never expire. The ladder runs Newbie, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, plus a secret tier beyond Diamond. We will only tell you it exists. Tiers unlock presales, early entry, skip-the-line, exclusive drops, and meet-and-greets.

Points never expire. Devotion, in this system, is cumulative for life.
The Artist's Vault
Music that isn't on streaming. For members only.
Gated albums and video, streamed through the app's own player, unlocked by being a real fan. What the artist puts in the Vault exists nowhere else.
Unreleased album · Vault only
Tour film · full cut
Streamed in the app's own player. Not on Spotify. Not on YouTube.
Top-fan boards
Prove you're the biggest fan
Every artist has a leaderboard and every fan has a rank. Streams, shows, merch, all of it counts. Climb it, screenshot it, defend it.

Echo
The conversation between shows
Echo is where the fandom talks: posts, replies, and chat running on the same end-to-end encryption governments use. The group chat that already gets it, and nobody else can read.
who's at barricade already 😤
been here since 2pm lol
setlist leak says he opens with Ghosts
End-to-end encrypted. The fandom's chat stays the fandom's.
Chrono
Wrapped is a report card. This is a movie.
At the end of the year, CHRONO plays your fandom back as a cinematic 3D journey in 13 acts: your first tap, the streak you kept alive, the show you traveled furthest for. It knows which rooms you were actually in.
