DAFNE+ : Blockchain, NFT and DAO for electronic music

"DAFNE+ provides digital content creators new forms of creation, distribution and monetization of their works of art through blockchain technology. "

A new international research and innovation project supported by the European Union (Horizon program), the DAFNE+ platform for fair creative content distribution will empower creators and communities though new digital distribution models based on digital tokens. In an intuitive and simple way, without the need for technical knowledge in blockchains/NFTs, creative communities are invited to join the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) offering new services and tools that allow the creation and co-creation of content in a blockchain. DAFNE+'s research will also focus on the definition of new business models through the distribution of content, allowing creators and users to monetize multimedia creations. 

IRCAM’s role in DAFNE+ is in particular to organise a community of artists and technology providers on electronic music and sound. Halfway between IRCAM's Forum software and archives of interactive music/sound repertoire, and based on an autonomous organisation and distributed infrastructure, the platform will enable artists, researchers and engineers to share and monetize pieces of technology for producing music and performing works - libraries, patches, documentations...

DAFNE+ just started with a phase of gathering user expectations and requirements that will form the platform specification. The purpose of this workshop is to present the project’s main objectives and to organise an exchange with the participants on their interest and expectations that will contribute to the platform design.
