History

This project came together through the collaboration of multiple individuals in Water & Music as part of our Season 1.5 research sprint. As an MVP, the current iteration of the resulting contract is very limited in scope as far as what types of scenarios and artists it covers. How we reached this initial version and what tradeoffs were considered can be found in our write-up: Structuring the law around Web3 music: A new modular music NFT contract framework.

Future plans

We hope to expand this tool to both support more types of artists, more creative uses around art and monitization in web3, and more context in the education points embedded throughout the tool. If you would like to join this project, or provide any feedback, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]

We are particularly keen on getting input from lawyers with international or securities backgrounds.
