Audius

Decentralized Infrastructure

Audius operates on a blockchain-based, community-run network using IPFS to store content and metadata. This removes centralized control, ensuring artists’ content remains accessible, censorship-resistant, and governed by transparent protocols.

Artist Ownership & Monetization

Artists upload music directly and retain full rights without intermediaries. They can earn $AUDIO tokens based on track popularity, fan engagement, and community contributions—creating a fairer, more direct revenue model.

Community Governance

Audius is owned and operated by its users. $AUDIO token holders vote on platform upgrades and policies, giving artists and fans an active role in shaping the platform’s evolution.

Open & Free Access

Audius offers unlimited, ad-free streaming to fans worldwide at no cost. Its open-source API also invites developers to build innovative tools, apps, and integrations that expand the platform’s reach.

Fan Engagement Tools

Fans engage through comments, reposts, remix contests, and crypto tipping. This turns listeners into active participants, helping artists grow organic communities and deeper fan relationships.

Social Media Integration

Artists can publish tracks to TikTok via Audius’s native integration, extending visibility across mainstream platforms. This connection between Web3 and viral media unlocks new discovery opportunities.
