Blockchain Music Platform Empowering Musicians and Independent Artists

The client observed several critical issues affecting artists and their fan communities:

• Unfair Artist Payments: Many talented artists throughout the USA are paid less than they are worth as performers and creators, causing them significant financial hardship.
   
• Limited Fan Benefits: Fans or subscribers who supported their favorite artists gained very little in return, disincentivizing them to engage in the fan experience.
   
• Absence of a Centralized Space: There was no singular space where musicians or singers could provide updates about their live projects or performances, limiting the ability to connect with fans.

To address these drawbacks, the client wanted a blockchain music platform that would provide transparency, fairness, and a true artist-fan connection, leveraging the growing potential of blockchain music solutions, trends around NFTs in the music industry, and the expanding concept of a music NFT marketplace, and new models inspired by decentralized music streaming platforms.

Seaflux developed a blockchain-powered solution named “Flow”, designed to empower emerging artists and gamers while ensuring fair compensation and meaningful fan engagement.

• Direct Artist Earnings: Artists receive 90% of their total earnings directly in their bank accounts from fan contributions, ensuring transparency and fair pay.
   
• Fan Rewards via NFTs: Fans can support their favorite artists using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards in under a minute. In return, they receive an NFT (a multimedia 3D card) representing exclusive content such as live concert images or videos, reflecting the type of digital assets typically offered on a music NFT platform and supporting new value models like NFTs for music artists.
   
• Community Building: The platform offers the artists a space where they can create public profiles for fans to see the NFT collections, share them on social platforms, and invite others to join in order to create a better support community, strengthening the foundation of a modern web3 music platform and aligning with the principles of a decentralized music platform.
   
• Technology Stack:
   
  • PostgreSQL – Used for managing artist and fan data.
  • GCP (Google Cloud Platform) – Deployed the frontend and handled the storage of NFT media, such as images and videos.
  • GCP Cloud Functions – Hosted Node.js APIs for backend processing.
  • LoopBack (Node.js Framework) – Managed backend operations efficiently.
  • PlayCanvas – Rendered the 3D multimedia NFT cards, which were later minted on the Flow Blockchain.

This ecosystem ensured smooth performance, secure transactions, and an engaging user experience aligned with modern blockchain music applications.

• Artist-Fan Community Building:
  Seaflux helped the client establish an interactive community that connects underpaid artists and their supporters on a single transparent platform using blockchain for musicians and supporting the adoption of music NFT experiences.
• 10% Revenue Stream:
  The business acquires a 10% revenue stream from every fan tip, providing a sustainable revenue model and ensuring artists are paid fairly.
• Energy Efficient Blockchain:
  The client moved to the Flow Blockchain and has lowered its expenses and environmental impact, taking advantage of its sustainable, energy-efficient, and low-cost infrastructure.
