About
Audius (AUDIO)

Audius (AUDIO) is a decentralized music streaming protocol built on blockchain technology, designed to empower artists and revolutionize how music is shared and monetized. It addresses the challenges of traditional music industry models by offering creators more control over their content and a larger share of revenue, fostering a direct-to-fan relationship. The platform leverages a decentralized network of content nodes for hosting music and discovery nodes for indexing content, ensuring censorship resistance and platform resilience. This digital asset ecosystem allows artists to publish their work, interact with fans, and distribute music without relying on intermediaries.

The core technology of Audius initially utilized Ethereum for staking, governance, and its native AUDIO token, an ERC-20 utility token. To enhance scalability and user experience, particularly for high-throughput activities like track streaming and social features, Audius has increasingly integrated with the Solana blockchain. The AUDIO token is central to the platform's tokenomics, serving multiple functions: it's staked by node operators to secure the network and earn staking rewards, used for governance votes on protocol upgrades and community proposals, and grants access to exclusive features and content. This cryptographic security and on-chain governance empower the community to shape the platform's future.

Audius aims to be a foundational piece of Web3 infrastructure for the music industry, providing a decentralized alternative to mainstream streaming services. Its focus on fair artist compensation, transparent metrics, and community ownership positions it as a significant player in the evolving creator economy and the broader decentralized application (dApp) landscape. By offering tools for artists to distribute their music and even experiment with music NFTs, Audius is pioneering new models for music consumption and ownership within the decentralized network paradigm.

  • How does Audius's use of the Solana blockchain impact ZAR/AUDIO transactions?

  • What fees should I expect when purchasing AUDIO through a ZAR fiat gateway?
