AUDIUS HISTORY
The mission of the Audius project is to give everyone the freedom to distribute, monetize, and stream any audio content. The Audius protocol brings artists, node operators, and fans together in an incentive-aligned way, allowing these actors to collectively provide a high-quality audio streaming experience guided by the foundational beliefs that: Users should be compensated in proportion to how much value they create for the network Artists should directly engage with and transact with their fans Governance power should be earned by creating value in Audius, and shared consistently between user groups contributing to the protocol Prices and earnings for participants should be consistent, predictable, and transparent Access should be democratized; anyone can contribute to Audius if they follow the protocol rules, and all information is publicly accessible Intermediaries should be removed when possible; when necessary, they should be algorithmic, transparent, and verifiably accurate

HOW AUDIUS WORKS
Audius removes the middlemen in the traditional music industry by connecting artists directly to their fans. Artists have the sole ownership of their music and can decide how to monetize them on the platform. They can distribute their music free of charge or set custom fees for fans to unlock exclusive content.
