what's sound.xyz?
sound.xyz is a blockchain-based music platform enabling artists to launch and sell music NFTs directly to fans. It provides tools for permissionless minting of songs as NFTs, with features like artist-owned non-upgradeable contracts, permanent decentralized metadata, custom mint formats, and end-to-end royalty payments. The Sound Protocol serves as its base layer, allowing creators to own their music economically on-chain while fans collect provably first editions. Users can sign in with email to create wallets, discover new tracks, and participate in a decentralized music ecosystem.
