[IMPACT]
The solution is to put out the best music so that listeners can ONLY find said music on the Cardano blockchain.
Perhaps this sounds naïve but we must start somewhere.
Beaucoup artists are disgusted with how their digital music is monetized so let’s create an alternative. Ultimately, the fans will go where the talent is. Put Taylor Swift on Cardano and folks will leave Spotify. That’s hyperbolic but makes the point.
The interconnected element of this solution is to merge music and charity (UBI) so fans become more purposeful in their listening habits. Cardano is a great place to do this.
I’d like to see us track three things:
-
# of monthly music releases (for sale, not airdrops) by Humble Records artists.
-
ADA Sales Total Volume
-
Total UBI ADA dispersed per month as well as participants
The only real risks will be keeping the artists engaged enough to continually release on Cardano. A big part of this will be NFT sales though Catalyst funding could temporarily supplant that.
[FEASIBILITY]
These are the target goals from above with the appropriate KPI filled in:
I’d like to see us track three things:
-
1.5 monthly music releases (for sale, not airdrops) by Humble Records artists.
-
1,000 ADA Sales Total Volume Monthly
-
500 Total UBI ADA dispersed per month as well as participants’ surveyed regarding how the UBI affected them in their mental health, lifestyle, etc.
Mainly it will be “salarying” the creators so they and their dev teams can continue to produce and share epic content on the chain.
Additionally, it will provide funding for arts centric Twitter spaces to grow the arts community on Cardano. 150 ADA per month will go to the hosts of said whilst the remaining 900 ADA will be allocated toward outreach/current creators’ misc expenses.

Brand new proposal. Excited to bring the “cool” factor on chain.
