Bringing an Open Music Protocol into The Real World: Onboarding Millions

Duration: 00:07:21

Speaker: Ray Jacobson

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

Every month Audius serves millions of artists & fans and hundreds of millions of API requests while growing a fully-decentralized and fully-licensed open music protocol. This talk is about how we achieve real world usage where most users are non-crypto native in a complex industry full of legacy software systems, red tape, and multi-party complexity. It boils down to simplicity, choosing the right tech at the right time, and uniting Web2 and Web3 philosophies.
