Artists want to be heard.

Labels help artists reach fans.

Let's unpack a record deal and how web3 fits in. 🧵 There are three major labels in music today.

- Universal Music Group (UMG)
- Sony Music Group (SMG)
- Warner Music Group (WMG)

Labels exist to develop artists.

The mission is to grow an artist’s career by providing resources to scale.

20 problems with Music NFTs today 🔽 Accessibility

All the top Music NFT platforms suffer from gatekeeping.

Interested artists do not have a smooth onramp into the space.

Music NFTs are expensive and bar out the average fan from collecting.

Why I collect Music NFTs 🔽 Patronage.

Music NFTs are the best way to directly support artists.

No middle men - artist to fan in its purest form.

Collecting is my way of endorsing artists giving web3 a shot.

NFTs. DAOs. Web3.

While exciting to talk about, most creators lack a reliable guide for onboarding to web3.

Here's why this matters ⬇ Creators tend to enter new tech with an existing following.

More followers = a bigger target.

There’s more ways to be wrong than to be right.

Still - web3 provides access, spotlights and ownership to early contributors.

https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ/status/1485306996488228866?s=20&t=ygQsL3LCveVeI-syHrciLQ

Music NFTs are collectible audio files.

Collecting music is not new, but collecting music online is.

From vinyl to CDs and playlists, there's a new medium in town.

This is the bull case for Music NFTs with @0x_Lucas on @BanklessHQ 🔽 Music NFTs are a new monetization model for artists.

They're digital collectibles - they carry no inherent ownership rights but can be bought and sold by a collector.

Music NFTs offer artists leverage to build a superfan community.

https://twitter.com/Cooopahtroopa/status/1484273269729423360?s=20&t=F0x0H6YG3AdeK0mUlMpGWw

Music has a new canvas.

We’re witnessing an audio movement driven by scarcity, fandom and access.

This is the Music NFT Landscape. Music NFTs are fixed quantity, tokenized audio files.

The main characteristic is the audio itself, typically an .mp3 or a .wav.

They do not come with inherent ownership rights.

The core tenant of any web3 project is a token.

@lstephanian and I explored key trends to find the optimal distribution.

Here’s what we found 📊 Token distributions can be broken down into 6 main segments:

- Community Treasury
- Core Team
- Private Investors
- Public Sale
- Airdrop
- Ecosystem Incentives

We aggregated distributions across 60 projects to create a comprehensive analysis of notable trends.

How to build community in web3 🔽 Relevancy.

Learn what everyone is talking about.

Read up on new projects and what makes them exciting.

Become one with the culture.

Many have predicted that DAOs will eclipse centralized organizations.

How does that happen, and how do DAOs successfully scale to that size?

Through SubDAOs 🔽 Most DAOs are structured as follows:

- Treasury
- Vote
- Chat
- Blog

DAOs generally feature one primary asset, representing governance and ownership in the group.
