Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our MP3 collectives, the voting ecosystem, and our vision for the future of underground music distribution.
What exactly am I claiming?
When you claim a Local Mixtape, you don't just get a playlist—you receive 5 separate MP3 NFTs minted on the Solana blockchain. Each NFT represents a distinct full-length track from one of the 5 featured local artists on that city's drop. This makes your music highly collectible, fully portable, and truly yours to own.
How does the voting system work?
Once you claim a mixtape and the 5 MP3 NFTs are safely in your wallet, you unlock the ability to vote on each track using our 1 to 5 Fire scale. Your votes dictate our Local and National Rankings, helping elevate the absolute best underground break-out tracks from your city directly to a national stage.
Why Solana MP3 NFTs?
Digital music distribution is fundamentally broken. While streaming gave us infinite convenience, it destroyed the collector culture and the local distribution paths that defined the physical mixtape era of the 90s and 2000s. By utilizing Solana NFTs, we are restoring scarcity, collectibility, and ownership to local music, while keeping the network fees practically non-existent compared to traditional transaction rails.
How does this help the artists?
Right now, our primary goal is exposure—identifying and spotlighting local artists globally via our National Rankings system driven purely by community consensus. Because these mixtapes are true digital assets, our future roadmap includes implementing smart-contract royalty pipelines. That means a percentage of any future buying, selling, or trading of these MP3 NFTs will flow instantly and directly back into the wallets of the independent artists who made them.
Do I need crypto experience to use this?
No! You can sign up using a standard email or social account. Under the hood, we automatically spin up a secure, non-custodial wallet for you so you can receive and hold your MP3 NFTs without ever needing to worry about seed phrases or network gas—unless you want to.
