Tune.FM is a decentralized music streaming platform and music NFT marketplace, founded by Andrew Antar and Brian Antar.[1]
The platform was designed to address several perceived deficiencies in the music industry, using distributed ledger technology to achieve a fairer allocation of revenues for artists, and a more active role for fans.
Platform
[edit]The Tune.FM platform is marketed under the claim ‘When the music gets played, the artist gets paid’.[2]
Described as a ‘musical social network’, Tune.FM aims to differentiate itself from online radio stations and mainstream digital distribution services,[3] where artists typically get paid only around 12% of the total revenue generated by their songs.[4]
Artists on the platform earn money from streaming instantly via micropayments,[citation needed] delivered in the form of JAM tokens. Artists can set their own prices and retain up to 90% of the revenues,[5] which is approximately 10-100 times more than offered by mainstream services.[6]
The use of cryptographic tokens makes it possible to eliminate the cost associated with intermediaries (e.g. traditional record labels),[citation needed] one of the main purported benefits of Web3.[7] The Hedera Hashgraph DLT allows hundreds of thousands of transactions to take place per second with "virtually no fees",[8] overcoming the problems associated with many blockchain solutions.
Functionality
[edit]Artists receive tokens when their tracks are played, in proportion to the number of seconds played.[9] They can also earn tokens by selling digital collectibles, such as unlockable experiences (e.g. backstage passes, exclusive releases, merchandise, FaceTime calls).[10][11]
Additionally, artists can reward listeners with JAM tokens (e.g. for playing or reviewing new tracks).[12] This two-way nature of tokens is intended to create a ‘win-win’ system in which fans and artists alike are compensated.[13]
Future plans for the platform include a mobile app, offering Tune.FM’s technology to labels and publishers, and a musical festival metaverse with token-gated virtual live shows.[14]
