Since the advent of blockchain technology, new-age electronic recording and distribution systems have forced artists to lose out on their royalty checks as well as their pre-defined rewards. Not only that, consumers are now spoilt for choice since there are so many alternative mediums for digital content access available on the market today.
VOISE is an all-new blockchain driven platform that aims to address many of the problems that exist within the digital media/content industry. It aims to do this by cutting out the need for middlemen and by optimizing content management and delivery.

When looked at closely, we can see that the VOISE ecosystem has been devised using the popular Ethereum protocol. Additionally, via a decentralized model, this platform is able to provide users with:
-
A highly secure music sharing network
-
Transparent digital content distribution service
-
Unique streaming platform
Also worth mentioning is the fact that VOISE makes use of a business model wherein it shares 100% of all sale proceeds with the artist – charging zero commission or processing fees during the entire distribution process.
Similarly, the platform also ensures the financial benefits are passed on to participating artists in the form of reduced prices, thereby allowing musicians to access a host of incentives on the side.
Lastly, VOISE employs an easy to use interface that provides decent support for multiple cryptocurrencies as well as fiat assets. This makes the platform an attractive option for streamers who like to make use of digital assets and virtual currencies for facilitating their online transactions.

Lastly, when using VOISE, customers will have the option of creating a special profile wherein they will be able to store relevant information about themselves along with the added option of uploading and editing pre-existing data.
How it works
As mentioned earlier, the VOISE ecosystem is built atop of the favored ethereum protocol where it makes use of smart contracts. As a result of this, developers will be able to create binding legal documents that automatically get executed when certain predefined conditions are met.

Also, VOISE uses special contracts to maintain a detailed record of the artists and their listed albums, tracks so that when the time for revenue allocation comes, there is no problem with the distribution of royalties, remuneration etc.
In the case of tracks that have been created by multiple artists, the platform ensures the automatic distribution of revenue amongst all the members of the band (artists)– as per the predefined percentages.

As an example, if a three-piece band produces a hit record, the proceeds are distributed automatically amongst all of the band members in whatever percentage is designated for each individual. Similarly, Radio DAO, the native radio module for VOISE also implements a smart contract to rate the votes gained by each track based on the staking of each voter.
Other key operational mechanisms employed by VOISE include:
-
Music that has been uploaded by artists on VOISE will be indexed by smart contracts as a hash key. This key is a permanent, immutable record embedded onto the underlying blockchain.
-
Records of tracks purchased by individual users will be monitored using a specially devised protocol that will make sure that once a person buys a track or an album they can access it at any time without having to subscribe to any service by paying a monthly fee.
-
Through the use of a native IPFS system, artists can be sure that they are not subject to censorship or piracy related issues.
-
When issues of content discrepancies arise, the network is automatically alerted by a change in the root hash. This, in turn, triggers the platform to search for new nodes to maintain the integrity of records.
