Music on Mainnet: The Future of Streaming

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

Decentralized streaming platform Audius moves its protocol live on mainnet, letting users claim tokens via meta‑transactions running on a POA sidechain. Metrics: 1,000,000 monthly listeners, 150,000 tracks from 40,000 artists and ~40M API requests/month. Token issuance mints 70–100M AUDIO tokens/year distributed over time; tokens enable governance, staking to secure nodes, and feature access. Built-in primitives already support audio NFTs and permissioned playback so ownership can control who can play specific tracks.
