NEWM: Multi-Track Releases (Albums)
NEWM Studio limits artists to the release of single tracks without support for “multi-track releases” (e.g., albums, EPs), capping artists’ ability to use the platform for all distribution use cases.
NEWM: Music Video Festival
NEWM: Music App Usability Enhancements
The current implementation of the NEWM Music App lacks the more mature features that are commonplace in other Web2 music players.
NEWM: Marketplace Secondary Sale
The NEWM Marketplace only supports the creation of primary stream token sales (from artist to fan); however, once purchased fans are unable to resell their stream tokens (i.e., the secondary sale).
NEWM: New Artist Account Setup Assistant
The user flow for the required NEWM Studio account and profile setup is unguided and often unclear to newly onboarded musicians, which can delay the distribution of their first releases.
NMKR API Integration for NEWM Studio NFT Creation
Music artists lack an automated process to create music collectibles (NFTs) and publish them to The RecordStore. The current process to publish is very manual, resource-heavy, and time consuming.
Enhanced RecordStore Integration in the NEWM Music App
We want an integration of the RecordStore with an open streaming platform where people can purchase NFTs from the RecordStore which they can easily access on the mobile app.

The problem to solve is ensuring that only verified human users can interact with smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain, mitigating risks from bots and malicious actors.
Coordinate and execute a highly-focused marketing campaign utilizing the collective resources of all prominent Cardano stakeholder groups. Bringing more people and businesses into the ecosystem.
Cardano needs more digital and IRL events that don’t seem blockchain or DeFi-related to create memorable initial touchpoints/experiences with a wider base of both crypto and non-crypto users.
Music collectibles empower artists, but remain very nuanced. The lack of knowledge on the artist side combined with an unfriendly UX creates a lot of friction in the artist-listener connection.
