<aside> 💡 Vault Music is the very first Rare Music DSP — A launchpad for artists to drop rare and limited-edition music, creating a new revenue stream. Fans can collect rare music, directly support the artists they love, and build their own fantasy record labels. Live on iOS, Android, and web. Built with care on Solana 💜

We believe innovation in music has focused for too long on extracting value from artists, rather than building new ways for artists to sustain their careers directly with their fans.
So we created a new digital music format that is 100% decentralized, brings back the joy of collecting rare music, and offers better margins than merch or streaming. And did we mention our drops are carbon neutral?
To understand our vision more deeply, check out our whitepaper. But if you just want the quick facts and to learn how to get started, keep reading :)
Vault Music is a new digital music format which allows artists to create exclusive, limited-edition music releases. Co-founded by the creators of FanDuel, our music format hyper-rewards top fans and creates a new revenue stream for artists.
Music releases on Vault Music are limited; the artist decides the price and scarcity, so only a certain number of fans can access each release.
Fans can then decide to hold their collection or resell it on the Vault Music secondary market. Unlike secondary markets for physical vinyl, which don’t accrue to artists, artists on Vault Music receive a royalty every time a music release is re-sold, creating a perpetual revenue stream.
These are the three component of the Vault Music platform, each of which are designed to work together to support emerging artists.

She sold out 100 editions at $24.99 each, and fans are still trading them on our secondary marketplace for 2-4x the original price. ](https://prod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/fb69bb0c-a2e6-4286-b2e9-fe5bee5b3ed5/f91600bb-4813-4faa-ab80-86c4cf375518/Blu-Eyes-Final_2.mp4)

The three pillars of Vault Music include a new digital format for limited-edition music releases, a secondary market for trading, and a fantasy record label game for artist discovery and music fan connection.
Fantasy Record Label is the newest addition to our ecosystem, where fans can create their own labels, invest in artists to “sign” them, and compete to win cash prizes.
