I nefficient Music Streams Tracking: Record companies find it challenging to accurately track music streams across various platforms, resulting in delays and inaccuracies in distributing payments to all artists involved in a song or album. The benefits of blockchain implementation Eliminating the need for a middleman: By leveraging blockchain's distributed ledger technology, intermediaries can be removed from the music sales and streaming process. Cost reductions: Blockchain-powered digital streaming services can instantly pay music creators for each sale or stream, eliminating the need for fees and commissions associated with middleman services. More direct relationships: Blockchain facilitates direct and transparent interactions between artists and their audience, fostering trust and loyalty. Higher earnings for music artists: By bypassing middlemen, artists can enjoy higher earnings as more of their revenue goes directly to them.
