Imagine a digital marketplace where artists and musicians own their work completely, without needing a middleman like YouTube to take a cut. It works like a digital club where members use special tokens to vote on the rules and share profits directly. The system is designed to be easy to use, so you don't need to be a computer expert to upload your art or get paid.
Creators often lose significant revenue to intermediaries and struggle with the technical complexity of blockchain and NFTs. There is also a lack of legal clarity regarding copyright in decentralized environments.
A decentralized platform using DAOs and low-energy blockchains, including intuitive content creation tools and a legal map of EU copyright for NFTs.
If you are an artist collective dealing with high commission fees from global platforms — this project developed a DAO-based distribution system that allows creators to set their own revenue rules and share profits without intermediaries.
If you are a label dealing with complex royalty splits between songwriters and performers — this project developed smart contract tools that automate fair revenue sharing and direct valuation of content.
If you are a studio dealing with the difficulty of integrating blockchain assets for non-technical users — this project developed intuitive creation tools that let users produce and ingest content directly into a token environment.
The DAFNE+ environment is specifically designed to run only over low-energy transaction blockchains to minimize environmental impact and costs.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on creating Distributed Autonomous Organizations (DAO) to manage communities, though specific user capacity numbers are not provided.
The project maps and analyzes the EU IP and copyright regulatory framework to identify legal requirements and barriers for blockchain-based sharing.
The project provides a set of intuitive tools and applications that allow artists to participate and offer content over blockchains without needing a technical background.
The project period runs from 2022-07-01 to 2025-06-30, suggesting the final results will be available by mid-2025.
The consortium is well-balanced for a technology transfer project, consisting of 11 partners across 8 countries. With a 27% industry ratio (including 2 SMEs), the project blends academic research from 4 universities and 3 research centers with practical commercial application, ensuring the tools are built for real-world market needs rather than just theoretical study.
