Next Step Microgrant: Radio Vault - music NFT marketplace and streaming service

1. What is your project, and what problem does it solve? (max 100 words)

Radio Vaults is a Technology that would be used for uploading NFT assets and deploying NFT contracts, especially Music NFT Assets to IPFS. The perk of using this app is that you can permission (whitelisting access to assets) and track access to these assets and also count and analyze streams from NFT Marketplaces and wallets using the metadata. With the Meta-verse in view, music NFTs will be here too and so we are presenting a way to secure musicians assets from plagiarism (stripping metadata to make other NFT contracts) and serve as a decentralized streaming platform.
