iO Beats aims to create a global community where music, digital art and entertainment are powered by blockchain. Our token, will play a central role in decentralized monetization, community governance and the creation of a collaborative artistic ecosystem. The underlying blockchain technology will guarantee transparency, security and fairness.
This white paper details our vision, the technology we use, the role of the iO Beats token, our business model and much more. Join us on this adventure to redefine the way the world discovers, creates and appreciates art.
The media and entertainment sectors are full of intermediaries. A Citigroup research claims that the US music industry spends an unprecedented $43 billion a year, but only pays musicians $5 billion, or around 12% of that amount.
The world of artistic creation, particularly music and digital art, is constantly evolving. While on the one hand, digitization has opened up new possibilities for expression, on the other, creators are faced with major challenges.
Dependence on intermediaries: Artists often depend on traditional platforms and intermediaries to distribute and monetize their work, which can lead to high commissions and barriers to entry.
Limited monetization: The monetization of artistic creations can be limited, and revenues may not reflect the true value of artists’ work.
Lack of transparency: Artists often have little visibility of how their work is used, and there is a lack of transparency in revenue distribution.
Faced with these challenges, the issue that emerges is this:
How can we redefine the ecosystem of artistic creation to offer artists a transparent, decentralized and equitable platform, while offering listeners an immersive and diverse experience?
The iO Beats project aspires to solve this problem by combining the power of blockchain technology with an artist-centric vision, decentralization and innovation.
The objectives of iO Beats are carefully defined to reflect our vision of creating an innovative global arts community. These goals will guide the development of the platform and direct our commitment to artists, listeners and the community at large. Here are our key objectives:
Establish an All-in-One Platform: Create a centralized platform for artists that integrates distribution, promotion, monetization and collaboration opportunities, offering a complete and accessible solution.
Promote Decentralization: Foster decentralization using blockchain technology, enabling artists to directly manage the distribution and monetization of their works without relying on costly intermediaries.
Facilitating Fair Monetization: Enabling artists to monetize their work fairly using transparent mechanisms based on smart contracts and secure transactions with the iO cryptocurrency.
Encourage Artistic Collaboration: Provide a space where artists can collaborate, share ideas and create together, strengthening a global, collaborative artistic community.
