Pro-Connect: Unlocking Community
emanate is more than just a web3 music streaming platform. Take a look under the hood and you’ll find a treasure trove of great features: smart contracts, seamless collaborations and instant payments have been the backbone of emanate’s functionality for years, but what can be even more valuable and exciting to artists is the community.
Users subscribed to emanate’s Pro-Connect tier unlock this community access in one of two ways. The first, is a monthly subscription model which most people would be familiar with. The second is to stake EMT (the native token used by emanate), as a means of guaranteeing your subscription — so instead of paying money each month, you put up some EMT as collateral to get your subscription. That subscription will last as long as you have some EMT staked, which gives users a significant saving in no time at all.
One of the best things about upgrading to Pro-Connect is the community access. It’s long been said that in the game of music, it’s not what you know, but who you know. Pro-Connect users have their own private channel in the emanate Discord where they can share ideas, collaborate and just generally hang out; but they also get first access to competitions and community events. emanate hosted a party in the metaverse in May ’22 with over five hundred attendees and every one of the fifteen artists on the lineup was a Pro-Connect user, because emanate wants to make sure they’re giving back what others are putting in and rewarding their most dedicated users.
These metaverse events are an incredible way for Pro-Connect users to showcase their talent to a huge, global audience that would usually be inaccessible. Previous virtual events have seen huge crowds attend and the reach of each artist grow exponentially.
The relationships that Pro-Connect opens through community are invaluable to artists. As a Pro-Connect user myself, I have made a lot of new friends and had opportunities that would’ve been inaccessible were it not for my little gold badge.

Metaverse events aren’t the only community events on offer to Pro-Connect users. Crypto communities partnering through emanate are always on the lookout for new music. Most recently, emanate has pitched Pro-Connect artists to CoinGecko and Zed Run to be used at live events and for in game music, expanding the artists reach even further.
When it comes to genres and the background of each artists in the Pro-Connect community, it’s incredibly varied. Artists of all genres are benefitting from Pro-Connect; rock to pop, metal to techno — it doesn’t matter. It’s that melting pot of influences and ideas that help to create such a vibrant community.
Personally, being part of the emanate community, I feel a massive weight lifted off my shoulders. It feels like I can finally get back to what’s important, making music & building community, without having to worry about how I need to produce music within a rigid mindset of what is popular, marketable or thinking ‘what will sell’.

emanate also works hard to lift Pro-Connect users up and share them with a wider audience. Every day, artists are sharing new music and NFTs to emanate, with Pro-Connect users given the opportunity to submit their work for a feature. The most intriguing projects are shared to the entire emanate community, furthering the reach of Pro-Connect users.
