Project Description:
MixMi's MVP, live on testnet at mixmi.app, is a browser-based DJ mixer with a blockchain twist. Users remix 8-bar loops and mint the results as NFTs, automatically aggregating rights from all contributors. Each loop used earns 1 STX at minting, while the system preserves splits, linked to creator wallets, and handles both recording and composition rights. Remixers get derivative licenses, blending creativity with fair compensation on Stacks. Beyond mixing, creators get profile pages that double as customizable websites for content distribution. By addressing business aspects of music creation, MixMi aims to build a sustainable platform where artistic vibes thrive alongside clear, fair arrangements.
There has been a demand for music on Stacks, and MixMi aims to meet this need. Alpha creators include vocalists, remixers, producers, and indie labels worldwide. Our long-term vision is to enable infinite remixing with rights attached, prioritizing people and culture. MixMi plans to continue developing music tools and seek larger funding to expand its capabilities. By creating a licensing working group and a standardized SIP, we aim to build a foundation for an extensive music licensing framework on Stacks.
MVP Features:
Impact:
We believe our mixer, with its rights and splits system, can be a jumping-off point for music collaboration and exploration on Bitcoin, and the first of its kind. Licensing is critical for music collaboration and new revenue streams, such as sync licensing music for film and video. Initiate the creation of a basic licensing framework, grounded in established legal practices. Lay the foundation for a Stacks-wide music licensing standard, crucial for enabling new revenue streams like sync licensing for film and video.
Actively involve the Stacks community to ensure our standards evolve to meet emerging technological and industry needs, fostering innovation beyond our initial concepts. By simplifying rights management and enabling fair compensation, we aim to attract more artists to the Stacks ecosystem, democratizing music creation and distribution in the Web3 space.
