Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

A new digital art marketplace, Highlight, has launched as the first "open access" generative art platform on the Ethereum blockchain. Backed by Haun Ventures and fresh off an $11 million funding round, Highlight offers free use with no artist fees. Instead of relying on a curatorial model that often restricts artist accessibility, Highlight simplifies the process with easy-to-use tools and encourages experimentation with different media types. While the platform will be free for artists to use, it will generate revenue through small fees from buyers. In addition to Ethereum, Highlight also plans to support other networks with cheaper transactions.
