Thank you for your support over the last 14 months.

When we launched Invest in Music we had one goal. Creating a home for the onchain music community.

After 58 podcast episodes, over 60 newsletters, artist spotlights, and thousands of mints across all our different series - we’re very proud to have delivered on that promise.

We’d like to give a special thanks for Sound, Pods, Spinamp, Mirror, Bello, Optimism and NFT Now for being key partners in our journey.

Our motto is and always will be creating a path for fans to become collectors.

That’s why today we’re proud to announce that we’re doubling down on a new venture - Sonata.

For those who have been following us, you’ll know that we’ve been doubling down on Farcaster and onchain social at large.

Sonata is our bet on the next chapter of onchain music - a client to tip curators for sharing songs.

Here’s what you need to know and how to get involved.

For as passionate as we are about onchain music - the sector is not growing at a pace that makes running the outlet sustainable.

We’ve noticed stagnation on the number of new collectors entering the space, and have not seen growth in most of our key metrics over the last 3 months.

This does not mean we do not believe in our core thesis, it simply means we need to adapt to meet the market where it is currently at.

As of today - the following changes will go into effect:

• Our podcast and newsletter will be ingested by Coop Records with a fresh coat of paint

• Our core team will focus our day to day efforts on bootstrapping Sonata

All our historic content will continue to exist across Twitter, Spotify, Youtube and onchain outlets like Pods and Spinamp.

However - we will not be posting new content from these channels and instead be focusing our efforts on building the brand around Sonata.

Sonata is a home for all music shared on Farcaster.

We aggregate all casts that link to a song on Spotify, Soundcloud and Sound and showcase it in a feed for the community to upvote.

It represents the ethos of what we set out to do with Invest in Music - create a home for curators to be rewarded for sharing great music.

Rather than relying solely on collecting music, we’re creating an economic layer through tipping - building on the core tenets popularized by projects like DEGEN through a native token called NOTES.

We’re launching NOTES with a retroactive airdrop to everyone who’s posted music on Farcaster along with:

• Holders of the Invest in Music Pass

• Invest in Music Podcast collectors

• Recipients of the Onchain Curator grant program

These amounts will vary - and the token will live on a custom Base L3 through Stack at launch.

The airdrop correlates to a daily allowance which can be used to upvote and tip music that you enjoy.

More details on this will be shared in the Sonata launch post here.

We’ve been brainstorming new ways to shift the focus of Invest in Music for months.

We kicked around ideas for prediction markets for music and a series to remint historic drops on Base.

While these concepts were exciting on the surface, we ultimately landed on them being too niche to reach a wider audience beyond the people in onchain music today.

We believe that Sonata is a fundamentally different approach to curation in the fact that it takes the core tenants of token incentives and applies it to a behavior that everyone already does - sharing music they love.

We were heavily inspired by projects like Degen, HypeMachine and Launchcaster - and wanted to create an MVP to prove concept of the idea.

To be clear - we are still very bullish on onchain music and more specifically the idea of collecting unlimited and limited editions of songs.

We hope that Sonata can become a vessel to further incentivize collecting - and act as a growth mechanism to reward our users for doubling down on their love of a song by collecting it onchain.

That being said - 99.9% of all music in the world today is not onchain, and we believe that crypto can be layered onto it without requiring it to be onchain in the first place.

The podcast will resume as a Coop Records property in May.

Sonata will be debuting today - and we invite all of our community members to be the first to use it here.

Running Invest in Music this last year has been an amazing learning process.

We fully leaned into being an onchain media organization and believe there are a lot of key learnings here that can be adapted to this upcoming cycle.

We are focused on turning Sonata into a cash-flow positive business and want to experiment with novel new onchain mechanisms of doing so.

If you’re interested in contributing to Sonata on a deeper level - please message Sebastian to find time to discuss early opportunities to help seed the community.

We thank you for the last year of your support and look forward to sharing our next chapter with you together.

With love,

Zora integrated credit cards and Apple Pay while Fabric announced an accelerator to help five creators earn recurring revenue through onchain subscriptions.

This comes on the back of Drakula sending out their second week of creator payouts and IYK announcing their Creator:Chipped finalists.

We’re seeing a lot more experimentation with custom mints - with many artists dropping songs that you can mint with HIGHER, ENJOY, DEGEN, and others.

This all points towards creators testing new formats to earn onchain revenue. We’re seeing a strong shift towards tipping being the primary source of earnings (on top of mints) and more creators leaning into actions that earn them tips rather than mints.

It’s very in line with the general market shift of free mints and open editions and everyone is trying to figure out what’s next.

There was strong commentary about this on Twitter this week - and we’d love to hear your thoughts on the current state of onchain music in our Telegram chat.

Now rebranded as Retro Funding, the collective has allocated 850M OP (∼$3.3B) to the program that rewards impact across the Superchain.

Previously operating as a broad, annual event, the rewards program will now be segmented into four distinct categories, each with its own deadlines.

The goal of these changes is to refine the OP allocation process by narrowing the focus of each round, providing participants with a clearer understanding of what impact will be rewarded.

If you’re an artist or builder, keep in mind that the deadline is May, 2024.

Today we're introducing a new era of clarity for Retro Funding!

The Collective has allocated a total of 850M OP to incentivize impactful work across the @Optimism Collective and the Superchain.

1,511

1:37 PM • Mar 26, 2024

This post will be included in Invest in Music's Retroactive Public Goods Funding proposal for Optimism.

Invest in Music is sponsored by Coop Records - an onchain record label.

Coop Records has released 150+ songs onchain and drops this week like:

• ATRIP - Here with Me

• Wavedash - Had2Go

• Baker Grace - Nobody

To share your songs - email demos@cooprecords.xyz.

Or - subscribe to Coop Records Club to have every release airdropped directly to your wallet!

There are four categories in the Retro Funding program:

If you’re an artist, creator or builder, you should submit under the ‘Onchain Builders’ category, with deadline in May, one month from now.

This round rewards builders growing Optimism's reach and impact by attracting new users, amplifying network effects, and increasing protocol engagement across the Superchain.

Although these guidelines don’t go into the specifics on how impact will be measured under this category, we’re confident that Optimism will share more details soon.

From their announcement:

“Every Base project is eligible for Retro Funding, every Mode project is eligible for Retro Funding, every Zora project is eligible for Retro Funding, every Farcaster project is eligible for Retro Funding, every sound.xyz project is eligible for Retro Funding, every OP Chain is eligible for Retro Funding, everyone, anywhere putting the work in to improve Optimism is eligible for Retro Funding.”

Keep an eye out for Optimism updates!

Retro Funding offers a new opportunity to be recognized for your contributions to the Optimism collective, across Base, Zora, and OP mainnet.

After distributing over 200M OP through airdrops, retros, and grants, Optimism began to actively involve artists and creators in RetroPFG III.

Culminating in the launch of the ‘We <3 the Art’’ competition, and Airdrop #4, both targeted at artists and creators.

With the deadline just one month away, we encourage artists and creators to seize this opportunity and participate, even if they were not rewarded in previous rounds.

As Optimism continues to iterate based on community feedback , remember that we will be participating in governance from Invest in Music.

If you have ideas or feedback, please join the chat, and consider delegating your voting power to us.

Good luck with the Retro Funding, and stay tuned for upcoming updates!

Vault.fm launched a new subscription product in partnership with James Blake along with features in Pigeons and Planes, Complex and dozens of other major music outlets. It may not be fully onchain - but the principles of direct to fan relationships are a huge step forward.

This comes with Coop Records launching an onchain subscription in partnership with Fabric - giving collectors a free song airdropped directly to their wallet everyday.

Drakula recapped a major first week - with over $4M in volume and 25,000 accounts on their new onchain Tiktok. We brought Alex on as a returning guest to unpack it all.

Put it all together and we’re seeing a shift towards convenience. Whether it’s joining a Vault for $5/mo, buying an onchain subscription or signing in with Farcaster - we’re gradually making strides towards more curated fan experiences and music to back.

PS - We’re planning to launch a new series next week and are looking for you feedback.

Hop in the Invest in Music Telegram for easy access and to help us land on a name!

Invest in Music is sponsored by Coop Records - an onchain record label.

Coop Records has released 150+ songs onchain with artists like 33 Below, Pluko and RIZ LA VIE.

If you see a * next to a song - this means that there is overlap with Coop Records.

We survived the crypto bear market and consumer apps are getting ready to take on a new audience. And they’re doing it by putting crypto in the background.

Privy launched Spotify logins - easily letting anyone create a wallet using their Spotify account.

Stack announced a $3M seed round to build onchain loyalty programs alongside an early teaser of a new app to add your favorite artists called Boombox.

Oscillator launched their first product - Fanscore in partnership with co-founder RAC.

Audius debuted their native Frames and We <3 the Art is set to announce the winners of their 1.2M OP onchain art contest this Monday.

All this goes to show that onchain music is putting the crypto in the back, and focused on highlighting the products first.

It comes alongside a wider push for true mainstream adoption - and truly feels like we’re just one leg away.

We did a deep dive on onchain points with Graeme from Stacks - free to mint on Warpcast.

Here’s what happened this week.

Invest in Music is sponsored by Coop Records - an onchain record label.

Coop Records has released 150+ songs onchain with artists like 33 Below, Pluko and RIZ LA VIE.

This airdrop covers the entire Optimism ecosystem - including Base and Zora.

This post will be included in Invest in Music's Retroactive Public Goods Funding proposal for Optimism.

What Should I Know?

If you’re an artist, creator or builder who deployed an NFT contract across BASE, Zora, OP Mainnet, or Ethereum Mainnet from Jan 10 2023 - Jan 10 2024 you may qualify.

Plus, there's a chance to boost your share by up to 50% through Bonus Attributes.

Claiming Your Airdrop

• Check Eligibility - Connect your wallet to see if you're on the list.

• Click on Claim and check if you’re eligible

As you can see on the screenshot, Invest in Music received 1.29K OP!

• Choose a Delegate and delegate your Voting Power.

After claiming, you'll choose a delegate for your voting power. 

This step is crucial for governance participation, yet it leaves the ownership of your OP tokens untouched.

This means that you are assigning your voting weight to whoever you delegate to - but the tokens (and your ability to sell or transfer them) remains in your control.

We encourage anyone reading this to consider delegating to Invest in Music

One of our goals for 2024 is to be actively involved in Optimism’s governance as a Delegate.

We want to be a bridge between artists, fans, music collectors, and the Superchain ecosystem.

If you don’t want to delegate to yourself, please consider delegating to us at investinmusic.eth!

After delegating, click Claim.

Why Should I Care?

This is another big move from the Optimism collective to reward artists and other creators for their contributions to the Superchain ecosystem.

Following the footsteps of "We <3 The Art" and RetroPGF 3, Airdrop #4 continues to spotlight artists and creators in the Superchain ecosystem.  

The range of rewards has been impressive, with artists receiving anywhere from $100 to $20k in tokens and yet another example of why it pays to be early onchain.

We think this another sign of the long term commitment of Optimism with culture.

As we come closer to a market phase where the intersections of music, and consumer apps are poised to play a pivotal role, Optimism's latest airdrop arrives as just the right time.

Don’t forget to claim your airdrop.

All signs are pointing towards music being more deeply integrated into an onchain social experience. And when its fully fleshed out - the selling points will become immediately clear. Earning referrals, one-click minting and much more are starting to take early shapes.

While we’re still a ways away from onchain music finding it’s footing - it’s getting closer and closer every day.

They collaborated on drops like ORIGINS, Faceless and Existential Dance Music.
