Melody is a decentralized music platform on Starknet that empowers artists and engages listeners through token rewards, direct uploads, and community-driven interactions.
## 🎵 About Melody
Melody is a decentralized music platform built on Starknet that reimagines how artists and listeners connect. In today's music industry, artists often face limited control over their work, unfair revenue distribution, and restricted discovery due to centralized algorithms. Melody solves these problems by using blockchain technology to create a fair, transparent, and collaborative environment.
### 🌐 Why Melody?
The traditional music ecosystem is broken:
- 🧾 High Platform Fees — Middlemen take a large cut of artist revenues
- 🔍 Algorithmic Bias — New artists struggle to get discovered
- 🧑⚖️ Centralized Control — Platforms control rules, content, and payouts
- 🤐 Passive Listening — Fans have few options to support artists meaningfully
### 🚀 Melody’s Solution
Melody empowers both artists and listeners with blockchain-based tools:
- 🎤 Artists can register, upload songs, collaborate, and earn directly from fans
- 🎧 Listeners earn tokens for listening, liking, and commenting
- 💬 Communities form around music through favorites, social interactions, and rewards
All interactions are managed through smart contracts written in Cairo and deployed on Starknet, ensuring scalability, low fees, and transparency.
### 🔧 Key Features
- Artist Profiles & Portfolios
- Direct Song Uploads & Metadata Management
- Collaboration Between Artists
- Like, Comment & Favorite System
- Trending Songs & Advanced Discovery

Built with ❤️ on Starknet
During the Starknet Reignite Hackathon, we successfully built the core functionality of Melody, including smart contracts for artists, songs, and users. We implemented artist registration, song uploads, and multi-artist collaborations. On the listener side, we added features like likes, comments, favorites, and a reward system. Real-time stats, discovery tools, and a working front end with wallet integration were also developed. We even integrated an AI assistant to guide users. Overall, we went from idea to live prototype in just a few days.
