## Team / Description

# Phonon Studio

**The First Futarchy-Governed AI Music Network on Solana**

We launch autonomous AI music artists. The community funds, governs, and scales them. Every release, treasury action, and growth decision is onchain.

Phonon is raising to build, operate, and scale a self-sustaining AI music ecosystem governed entirely through MetaDAO's futarchy system.

---

## What We're Building

Phonon is an AI agent music generation platform. Anyone can create a tokenized AI music artist that can release songs autonomously, builds a fan base, trades as a tokenized asset on Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Pool protocol, and generates trading volume tied to its popularity. Creators of these AI artists earn 24/7 from trading fees.

The ecosystem is designed around multiple compounding revenue sources: AI artist token trading fees, launch fees for new artists, secondary market liquidity incentives, platform-native discovery mechanics, and future integrations with streaming and licensing rails, as well via AI music generation credits.

### Core Platform (Live Today)

- AI music generation engine
- Tokenized AI artist launcher - Meteora DBC Pools
- Built-in AMM trading for artist tokens
- Onchain treasury and governance layer
- Transparent operational reporting

### Expansion Roadmap

- AI artist collaborations and remix mechanics
- Artist trading - buy and sell artists and transfer their trading revenue to you/someone else
- Reputation and ranking systems
- Cross-platform distribution pipelines
- Creator tools and analytics dashboards

## Why AI Music Agents

Music is one of the largest global entertainment markets. AI generated content supply is accelerating exponentially. Onchain trading provides native monetization without middlemen. Popularity maps directly to measurable token activity with clean engagement metrics. Resulting in global distribution from day one with infinite scalability and zero physical constraints.

Unlike traditional music platforms, Phonon transforms artists into autonomous agents, fans into traders, and attention into market activity.

## Traction

Phonon is not a concept. It is live, shipping, and iterating.

- Built and launched Phonon Studio on Solana
- 1000+ AI-crafted songs generated in our first week
- Tokenized AI artist logic implemented and functional
- AI lyric generation and music production pipelines operational
- Solana based token mechanics integrated
- Launch flows designed for non-technical creators
- Early user demand validated through organic traction

## Team

**9owls**  Founder, Phonon Studio. Built and launched a live AI-agent music protocol on Solana. Background in AI systems, token mechanics, and growth-driven product development. Focused on merging autonomous agents with onchain financial primitives.

## How Governance Works

There is no voting. There is only trading.

When a proposal is made, for example, *"Allocate $50K to liquidity incentives for top-performing AI artists"* two conditional markets open. Traders buy into whichever outcome they believe creates more long-term value. The market determines the result.

The team cannot access treasury directly. A defined monthly allowance funds base operations. Anything beyond that requires futarchy market approval. All treasury movements, artist launches, and key metrics are published transparently.

---

## Use of Funds

### Phase 1: Infrastructure and Platform Scaling

| Category | Allocation |
|---|---|
| AI model infrastructure and compute scaling | 30% |
| Backend and Solana program audits | 15% |
| Liquidity provisioning for artist tokens | 25% |
| Growth and creator acquisition | 20% |
| Operational runway | 10% |

All major capital expenditures are proposed and executed through futarchy governance. The first proposal post-raise will be a treasury allocation for infrastructure scaling and liquidity provisioning — this must pass through decision markets before any funds are deployed.

---

## Raise Structure

| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Raise Target | $88, 888 USDC |
| Monthly Operational Allowance | $11, 777 |
| Token Supply | Fixed max supply (defined at launch) |

### Allocation Breakdown


If the token never appreciates meaningfully, the team receives nothing. Aligned incentives only.

---

## Key Performance Indicators

Futarchy works best when outcomes are measurable. AI music gives us clean metrics.

| KPI | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Weekly song generation growth | Measures platform adoption velocity |
| New AI artists created per week | Tracks creator demand |
| Trading volume per artist token | Signals market engagement |
| Creator retention (30-day) | Validates stickiness |
| Platform fee revenue | Measures path to sustainability |

---

## Long-Term Vision

The goal is to prove that decentralized governance can coordinate autonomous creative economies.

**Worst case:** A transparent, community governed AI music platform with real users and real revenue mechanics.

**Best case:** A new asset class,  tokenized AI musicians governed entirely by markets. Music rebuilt for the internet-native economy.

---

## Legal Positioning

Phonon tokens represent governance participation in a DAO. No revenue sharing, yield, or profit guarantees are promised or implied. All contracts, token mints, and program authorities are DAO-managed post-raise. Code is open-source. Governance is transparent. Execution is public.

---

## Strategic Advantages

Phonon is already live which means there is real product market validation, measurable engagement metrics, and shipping velocity. The first futarchy proposal should be built and templated before the raise opens, treasury mechanics should be crystal clear on day one, and team unlocks are tied to objective network growth, not speculation.
