AUDIO Audius

About Audius

Audius is a decentralized music sharing and streaming protocol designed to facilitate direct transactions between listeners and creators, so that everyone can freely distribute, commercialize and stream any audio content. AUDIO tokens are the native tokens of the network and are mainly used for the following purposes: By staking tokens and running discovery nodes or content nodes, users can obtain higher fan discovery possibilities and a part of network fees; By locking the tokens, unlock more exclusive functions and services, such as artist tokens and badges, and obtain voting rights for fans who want to share their success; Participate in protocol governance voting to contribute to future iterations of the protocol. The agreement contains the following main components: Content nodes: A network of nodes operated by users, used to host content on behalf of artists and control access permissions; Content ledger: A single trusted data source for all data accessible in the Audius protocol, which anchors references to content stored by content nodes; Discovery nodes: A network of nodes operated by users that index the Audius content ledger and provide an easy-to-query interface for retrieving metadata.
