Earn from music battles, not streams.

Hurricane Ike, founder of WaveWarz, on a new way for musicians to get paid: head-to-head music battles where people buy and sell on the competing tracks like stocks, and the artist earns one percent of every trade on their side. Engagement, not streams. One artist earned about 0.5 SOL in a few minutes of a single battle. He walks through the live chart scoring that makes a battle as fun to watch as it is to hear, how to run a quick battle in the nightly 8:30pm EST queue, and how to spin up a community battle in any format - music, roast, cooking - with automated payouts straight to artist wallets. Artists keep their masters, IP, and audience.
