Since the emerge of electronic recording and distribution systems, artists have started finding themselves shortchanged when it comes to remunerations and rewards. And the audience are spoilt with alternative choices to access the digital content, but most of these are either expensive, which has forced many to opt for illegal downloads while encouraging piracy in the process.
The high cost of digital content can be attributed to middlemen who take hefty commissions and end up benefiting from the expense of both artists and consumers. VOISE, through its innovative platform and the use of new-age technology is attempting to address the problem by cutting out middlemen and optimizing content management and delivery.
What is a Voice Platform.?
VOISE is a blockchain powered anonymous decentralized platform with personalized token based on Ethereum's smart contract ecosystem for transactions. VOISE is an innovative cryptocurrency powered solution for the music industry that allows artists to monetize their work in a collaborative P2P marketplace. They can set a price for their works, provide free sample tracks and seek support from music enthusiasts and users on the platform.
The VOISE platform is designed to improve the music industry, especially the content delivery and streaming part. The decentralized platform offers unprecedented levels of flexibility to the main stake holders. By providing complete freedom to artists to upload their tracks and set their own pricing, it encourages more people, both big and small to register on the platform and start selling music. And, the absence of third-parties in the ecosystem reduces cost overheads in the form of commissions, the benefit of which is ultimately passed down to the artists and users.

How Platform Voice Works.?
VOISE adopts a pretty straightforward process for artists and users to sell and buy music and other digital content easily. The artist, willing to sell music on VOISE uploads the digital file on the platform. Once uploaded, the track will be published in a peer to peer network, which is visible to the users. A user, browsing through the platform, or searching for a particular track can easily discover relevant music and even try it out before making a decision to purchase it.
Once a decision is made, user will pay for the track selection with VOISE tokens to complete the transaction. The transaction will be visible on the blockchain, thanks to its transparency. Following the confirmation of respective transaction on Ethereum blockchain, the artist will receive funds into their wallet. The artist will receive 100% of the transaction minus a small fraction, payable to Ethereum network as gas to fuel the transaction.
VOISE offers artist's complete freedom to set the price and provide sample audio clip to users. The sample clip can be of 30-second duration, with a provision to make the entire song available for free in return for donations.
VOISE will continue to introduce new ways of content monetization for the benefit of artists. At the same time, end users stand to benefit from lower prices as artists can afford to let go of the commissions and third-party fees which they would have otherwise incurred over conventional distribution channels.

These tokens, built around Ethereum smart contract technology is the primary medium of value exchange over the VOISE music ecosystem. These tokens can be easily stored on the user’s preferred device using a personal desktop wallet, ERC20 compatible web-based wallets like MyEtherWallet or within the VOISE platform itself.
