Open Music

Artist-first music streaming platform built on Solana that replaces Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct listener-to-artist payments. Raised through futardio futarchy-governed launch but failed to meet funding target and refunded backers.

Overview

Open Music proposed a streaming model where each subscriber's payment goes only to artists they personally listened to that month, rather than being pooled globally. Platform takes 10% versus Spotify's ~30%, with payouts in USD wallet + USDC. Featured AI-powered sonic similarity discovery to replace label-budget-driven promotion. Two full-stack developers with plans to hire a third.
