Solana and The Audacity of Audius
$Audius left Ethereum for Solana, so how's it going?
Concept: Blockchain version of Soundcloud
Advantage: resistant to censorship; artists earn in crypto based on popularity of each song; if you understand Soundcloud, you will understand Audius.
When I dove into Soundcloud, I found it mostly disappointing. I found that your tracks can be removed even if they are compliant with the terms of service. For instance, I uploaded remix of a popular house musician. Although I had a remix licence, Soundcloud’s robots were not impressed. Song = banned.
AUDIUS is relevant. If you are a fan of Vaporwave, Bass House, and experimental genres, you are in for a treat with Audius; but there is definitely room for growth. Audius is becoming more than just a blockchain version of Soundcloud.
