About The Project

Kordz is a simple but beautiful proof-of-concept of a decentralized music owning platform built with Polygon, aiming to reimagine how musicians earn a living and how fans discover new ways to connect with the music and each other. Kordz allows artists to sell digital songs to fans, who are then able to hold a digitally signed copy of your song (on the Polygon blockchain) that could be limited edition, or even a 1/1 edition. Kordz encourages fans who want to support their favorite artists to support them by creating unique digital assets.

In a world where only very few extremely popular artists can earn a sustainable full-time living, Kordz aims to disrupt the music industry by introducing the concept of royalties, making it more possible for more people to earn a living from their music.

It is built with Next.js, which offers blazing-fast server side rendering, and currently uses a Flask backend as temporary metadata storage. The smart contract is deployed on Polygon using the excellent Truffle suite, making deployments simple and easy.
