Audius is a decentralized music-sharing and streaming protocol that facilitates direct transactions between listeners and creators, giving everyone the freedom to distribute, monetize, and stream any audio content.
The protocol consists of:
- Discovery nodes that index the Audius content ledger and provide an easily query-able interface for retrieving metadata;
- Content nodes to host content and permission access to content on behalf of artists;
- Content ledger as a single source of truth for all data accessible within the Audius protocol, anchoring references to content hosted by content nodes;
