musiic is not another streaming app.

It’s a Web3 protocol for a decentralized music industry.

For decades, execs and algorithms dictated discovery. musiic flips the script. Built at musiic.eth and powered by Payola (PYL), the protocol ensures fans decide who gets discovered, artists keep ownership, and culture belongs to communities — not corporations.

The Whitepaper is the “how.” It lays out the protocol’s mechanics and economics. The Manifesto is the “why.” It defines the values and vision behind musiic. Together, they show how musiic is both an industry protocol and a cultural movement.

Press record — the decentralized music industry starts here.

Explore the Protocol.

Dive into musiic’s blueprint and values: the Whitepaper explains how it works, and the Manifesto explains why it matters.

The musiic Manifesto

A rallying cry for change. The Manifesto explains why musiic exists: to give ownership back to fans and artists, flip Payola into rewards, and keep music human in the age of algorithms and AI. It’s not just tech — it’s a movement.

The Problem

The music industry was built to control. For over a century, discovery, contracts, and distribution have been dominated by gatekeepers — labels, platforms, and algorithms. Artists surrender ownership for visibility. Fans create value without recognition. Culture is reduced to product.

What We Believe

  • Fans are not consumers. They are discoverers, curators, and the spark of culture.
  • Artists are not products. They are sovereign creators of sound and story.
  • Discovery is not an algorithm. It is human recognition, recorded and rewarded.
  • Contracts should not be traps. They should be transparent, fair, and automatic.
  • Payola is not corruption. It is redefined as a reward for authentic cultural contribution.
  • Music is not data. It is human-first — protected from manipulation, fraud, and AI homogenization.

What We’re Building

  • musiic.vip — The verified users’ backstage. Already live. This is where fans manage profiles, add artists, and track every action that earns them Payola.
  • musiic.biz — The musiic Artist Launchpad, launching January 2026,is the all-in-one hub where artists manage their entire digital career — upload once, publish everywhere, sell direct to fans, and track it all in one dashboard. Powered by verified fans, AI, and Web3, musiic unifies the fragmented music industry into a single launchpad for management and growth.
  • musiic.app — Launching at 5k verified fans and 5k verified artists. The main app where fans, artists, venues, and service providers connect, listen to music, interact, and exchange Payola directly. Will be made public for listen-only accounts at 10k verified fans and 10k verified artists.
  • musiic.eth — A decentralized protocol, not just a platform. Reserved on Ethereum and ready for action. This is where Decentralized Music Contracts (DMCs) and Payola (PYL) will live and breathe. It will activate when we reach 100k verified fans and 100k verified artists.‍
  • Identity Layer — Verified fans, not industry insiders, decide who enters the culture.
  • Decentralized Music Contracts (DMCs) — Albums, shows, merch, and services governed by code, not middlemen.
  • Payola (PYL) — The cultural contribution token: earned by action, recorded on-chain, rewarded forever.
  • StreamSale — Fans fund and experience music as it’s created, not months later.
  • WaxDrop — Scarce vinyl tied to blockchain authenticity, bridging digital culture with physical artifacts.
  • Governance — Balanced by PYL stake and cultural attestations, ensuring no whales, no corporations, no capture of power.

Our Call to Action

  • Fans: Verify, discover, and own the culture you create.
  • Artists: Claim your profiles, keep your rights, and grow with your community.
  • Venues & Providers: Join transparently, fairly, and directly.

Our Promise

musiic will not become the system it was built to replace.We commit to transparency, fairness, and cultural legitimacy.We will measure success not by streams or charts, but by the communities we empower and the culture we preserve.

musiic is decentralized music.
