Polkadot universe is pretty interesting. I spend 2023 and 2024 into it. I made decent amount of polkadot using the Grillapp. But that ended up being a rug pull parachain. And the founders and the squatters left by selling the token. But in the meantime many creators like me were engaged there and we still have the balance. And it's all gone.
Now the creator economy over there has shifted to the Mubert protocol. This is for the music creators. So I am definitely out in a way. Though I have fruityloops studio in the computer I can create music and make money. But in the grand scheme you can sese I need to find alternative. So I checked out the Mubert protocol.
What is it? You as an music artist can make money out of the music uploads and the sharing of music as an IP NFT etc.
Think of it like this you create music make NFT out of it and your fans can share that ownership and invest into you. And collectively the economy around that creator continues to build. And that means the developers would be able to license and then they can make money off the same.
My issue with this concept is that currently video and music artist would be able to make use of that. And they would be able to make the money. But writers, blogers, coders etc can't use this. And that would make this worst for income. I hope this expands into other fields and make something for them to be included too.
You can check out the litepaper here. And also the docs on how to use it if you are one of those creator artists which would be able to deploy and use their system. So hopefully we can find more of such parachains and the protocols which would make an income and also would be setting some lifestyle for the creators and the blockchain users.
