Web3 & blockchain technologies usher in a new era of artist ownership & previously unfathomable control of creative content. It enables equitable compensation for musicians of all levels, with hundreds of artists already taking advantage of this new technological opportunity.
How blockchain can help the current music market
The music industry is plagued by rapacious intermediaries taking excessive cuts of artist revenue. GIGCO implements blockchain infrastructure, adding much-needed transparency to this murky practice. Utilizing a tokenized payment mechanism means each transaction is fully verifiable, incurring just micro-fees. Smart contracts enabled by Web3 allow artists to connect directly to venues they play & fans who support them, eliminating reliance on 3rd party interaction.
Ecosystem
