Audius is a decentralized music streaming protocol that was initially constructed on the POA network but has since migrated to Solana. It was created to address the inefficiencies inherent in the music industry, such as opaque music rights ownership and intermediaries that separate artists from their audience. Audius seeks to harmonize the interests of artists, fans, and node operators through its platform, which is fueled by its native AUDIO token. Artists have the ability to upload their music, which is then stored and distributed by content and discovery nodes for fans to enjoy at no cost. Currently, Audius rewards content creators through incentives like being featured in the weekly trending lists. In the future, the platform plans to incorporate stablecoins to enable artists to offer paid content, as well as artist tokens that grant fans access to exclusive content, potentially collaborating with platforms like Rally.
