An ownerless music platform, a mesh of artists and fans empowered by a profit-sharing community.
Arweave - Disrupt the Music Industry Hackathon Winner 🏆
Bandplay is an ownerless music platform that is laying the foundation for a decentalized music industry. We are built on top of the Arweave network which enables us to have decentralized, permanent, and immutable data storage.
By creating a peer-to-peer music distribution platform, we are able to provide fair compensation to artists by cutting out centralized structures that gate keep the industry. We have also implemented a form of community governance through the use of profit sharing tokens. Owners of these tokens will in turn own part of Bandplay, and be able to collect a stream of micro-dividends, vote on product decisions, and purchase music.
