About HIO Music

Built on Solana, HIO is more than a music streaming app. HIO offers fair and transparent compensation to creators, rewards for listening, direct fan engagement, and the ability to mint and sell music NFTs in-app for free! No need to connect a wallet or worry about gas fees. This isn't just streaming – it's the future of music ownership and rewards.

📱Available on Solana Saga, iOS and Android, HIO currently has the largest catalog of music under license in Web 3 (6.5M+ songs), aiming to have the full Spotify catalog (100M+ songs, by Q3 2025). HIO is expanding to merch and ticket sales, and an in-app social media feed. HIO is a platform for the entire music industry and Web3 alike.

🚀Supercharged by the $HIO token, users will be able to stake in-app to access a free monthly subscription and more. In-app quests allow users to earn Airdrops with staked balances, adding earning multipliers.

⚖️Fair and transparent revenue distribution. At HIO Music, 100% of your subscription fees go to the artists/rights holders that YOU LISTEN TO. Let’s break this down - If you open the HIO app once a month and listen to one song, 100% of your $10 subscription fee will go to the owner(s) of that song. If you listen to 1000 songs, your $10 will be fairly distributed algorithmically to everyone you listened to that month. Unlike major Digital Service Providers (DSPs e.g. Spotify, Apple, Deezer) who pool subscription funds and pay out hundreds of millions to their partners and the Joe Rogans of the world first, before distributing to Artists. Subscriptions are aimed to go live in Q4 2025.

Community is everything! Major DSPs do not allow Artists to see who their top listeners and supporters are, meaning Artists can’t even see who their community IS. HIO will not only allow you access to all of your listener data, but we are building out features so Artists and Listeners can identify and grow their communities in-app. 

We’re on a mission to get creators paid! Before subscriptions go live, we have an artist ambassador program going live this week where we’ll pay early Artists who believe in HIO Music and are helping to grow the platform. 

Let's celebrate this game-changing platform with a community challenge! 🏆
