Open The Curtain for $CHORD
Chord Protocol has landed to revolutionize & decentralize the music industry
The global music market is expected to be 60 billion USD in 2021 while a big part of those revenues go to endless intermediaries making the industry working very complex, slow and inefficient.
Chord Protocol is here to fix those problems, bring fairness, openness and efficiency to the industry by building a DAO-driven decentralized network for musicians where anyone can turn their songs, performances or any kind of music into unique NFTs and freely commercialize them without intermediaries.
At the same time, music fans all over the world can enjoy and invest in authenticated music clips and creations while helping tokenize the music industry.
Chord aims to become the first truly decentralized global ecosystem connecting musicians, fans & industry players.
Chord Ecosystem
In order to bring fairness & decentralization to the market we are using the advantages of non-fungible tokens technology to connect in a direct way music lovers with the world of artists.
Here are the main components which have been in development within the Chord ecosystem:
- NFT Tokenization Platform
Turn any recording by video or audio of a cover or original song into an NFT and sell it on Chord’s marketplace. Authenticate your creations and protect its copyright by digitally certifying it on the blockchain.
2. Chord’s Marketplace
Artists and creators can either sell the total or partial rights to their unique songs and performances or rent them by including royalties for every further transaction. Music fans will access hundreds of exclusive clips and original songs which can make their own to enjoy, show off, collect or further trade.
3. Integrations with the Music Industry
Chord is bringing on-chain tools to the professional music industry while getting rid of intermediaries. Partnerships with decentralized audiovisual channels, concert organizers & streaming events can now be operated through smart contracts, allowing ease and clarity in setting up deals while optimizing the use of copyrights.

$CHORD deflationary model
Total number of cycles: 120
During each cycle there is a fee for buying or selling transactions
Fee starts at 5% and ends at 10% in the end of the cycle
The fee gradually increases over 500,000 $CHORD tokens burned
When the cycle is over, 50% of what was burned gets reminted to holders, proportionally to the % of $CHORD they hold
When new cycle starts, the fee is reset to 5%
