Audius Music Marketplace

Audius, the first community owned music platform and largest decentralized service, officially launched its music marketplace today in beta, allowing its 6 million music fans to support their favorite artists with direct payments. Audius music fans seamlessly use their credit card to pay artists in USDC, which can be converted by artists and rights holders to the currency of their choice including USD, EUR, GBP, or most other currencies. Alongside the core purchasing features, Audius fans can pay artists more than the list price for their music by adding extra payment to further support their favorite artists. These new innovations give creators control in pricing their music for access in streams and downloads, while delivering instant payouts. It’s a powerful new revenue stream for artists and rights holders.
