gm. We've been heads down rebuilding @vaultdotfm from the ground up. now it’s time to ship. Today I’m excited to share what we’ve been working on: The fastest way for artists to drop music, videos, and moments first with fans and actually own the audience that shows up.

@dgreenstein1 Tried starting a company 3 years ago to solve this exact issue Explained it how you did but also “support an artist, they grow, fan experience gets worse” There’s huge value in rewarding fan loyalty and a plethora of ways to do it creatively Maybe I should get back to work?

Fly Delta Air Lines 50 times, you get upgrades. Go to Starbucks daily, they know your order. Stay loyal to a hotel, you earn free nights. What’s always been crazy to me: Buy every album. Go to 12 shows. Get the lyrics tattooed. You’re treated the same as someone who clicked play once by accident. Every industry rewards loyalty except music.

That’s funny. I met most of the first users of sound through discord and first reaction was it can’t be them. Well said. Def other examples but imo this should be the default. I always joke airlines don’t give you free upgrades bc of their big heart but because it’s good for business. Almost every other industry have figured this out. Music industry is no different. Treating your biggest fans different makes so much sense but it’s been hard to find the form factor that is natural to both artists and fans.

Matt and Brian are deeply engrained in NFTs so they "got it" funny enough, I met Matt in the punks discord and thought he was just a fan of the band for the first few months I knew him 😆 I'm sure some other musicians are doing cool shit too, I should've said "of the musicians I listen to and actively follow" in my first tweet Their community is still going strong and getting all of the perks they were promised. I'll always give them props for being early to this stuff

@DeeZe @TheOfficialA7X @DeathbatsClub Nothing gets the timeline riled up then a good use case for NFTs All jokes a side I remember when they launched that. You could tell it was very thoughtfully put together.

At this point I need a skill that reviews all the other skills, figures out which ones are performing, and fires the rest. HR department for skills. I assume someone has built this already?

Everyone is talking about this Ramp blog post: background agents are now authoring 30-40% of their PRs (!) If you read this and thought “I need that” the good news is we’ve built it for you: niteshift.dev If you’re at a fast moving AI-native company, DM me for early access
Zach Bruggeman@zachbruggeman

The craft of engineering is rapidly changing. At @tryramp, we built our own background coding agent to accelerate faster. We call it Inspect. It wrote 30% of merged frontend + backend PRs in the past week. It’s powered by @opencode, @modal and @CloudflareDev. It runs fully in the cloud, and starts in seconds, letting every builder work at the speed of thought, no setup required. Today, we’re open sourcing the full blueprint so anybody can build their own Inspect. Just give our spec to your current coding agent, and let it build your new favourite.

Its not rented because artists can directly reach their audience on Vault and have full control over their mailing list. They can export it anytime. Our goal is threefold: 1) let artists directly reach their audience 2) build community and 3) find sustainable ways to make a career from music in addition to whats already working. We think the pie can grow. Separately we did try subscription as one way to help artists monetize but moved away from it. Periodic subscriptions push artists into a content treadmill that we're trying to help them avoid. Now exploring a la carte offerings. Don't have all the answers but experimenting and learning to try and figure it out. Website has the latest if you're curious.

@dgreenstein1 No rented relationship… but platform is based on subscription model. Am I missing something?

been thinking about what we're actually building here. artists don't own their audience. every follower is rented. every relationship gets filtered through an algorithm that doesn't care about you. streams pay fractions. platforms throttle reach whenever they feel like it. fans feel disconnected. artists end up burnt out, unseen, and underpaid. we started Sound to fix this. learned a lot along the way. made mistakes. still shipping tho! @vaultdotfm is everything we've learned, rebuilt into one product: help artists own their audience, build real connection with fans, and actually get paid. no algorithm in the way. no rented relationships. it's been a hell of a journey, but the 1 problem that keeps me up at night hasn't changed: proving fans will actually pay for music. that's the bet. more to come. we're just getting started.

I was very fortunate to get to work with @lindaxie twice - first at coinbase and then at farcaster. One of the kindest, sharpest and most hardworking people I've met in crypto. All the best for whats next!
Linda Xie@lindaxie

Today is my last day on the Farcaster team! I plan on staying in crypto next. The space has grown so much since I first joined it 12 years ago but there's still a long way to go. I'm going to keep working on things I want to see exist in crypto and do my best to help it grow

@GSkrovina @GSkrovina Up to the artist. Some drops are permanent exclusives, others are first-access or early listens before streaming. We’re still testing what artists + fans respond to most, so learning as we go!

artists shouldn't have to become their own marketer, CRM manager, designer, promoter, content creator, and touring strategist just to share their music. they keep doing it anyway because they believe in what they're making. that's not sustainable. we just shipped the third and final pillar of @vaultdotfm. artists can now sell music directly to fans. first time we've tried this since the early sound days. and honestly? it's a problem i've struggled at solving. but it feels worth continuing to try.

This is the type of thing that makes people actually want to pay for music. Music you can't find anywhere else. A physical object to commemorate it. A unique way to experience it, like a concert. Scarcity brings urgency. Urgency makes people act. Why does that work for shows but feel weird for songs?

IDK is selling his new mixtape inside a fully functional CD player.⁠ ⁠ In a post shared to his Instagram story, IDK writes, "When you buy an ETDS CD player, it comes with a bootleg mixtape which includes an unreleased song that no one else will have but you and I. Each player has its own unique bonus track/song."⁠ ⁠ 'EVEN THE DEVIL SMILES' is set to release this Friday, January 23.⁠ It features Pusha T, RZA, Black Thought, Joey Valence & Brae, OGI, and a posthumous appearance of DMX, with contributions from Kaytranada, Madlib, and Conductor Williams, among others.

@JRCtheRaven Good question. Right now we don’t take a cut of drops. 100% of drop proceeds go to the artist (minus standard payment processing fees). Longer term, Vault will earn on the artist side as a % of drop revenue, so we make money when artists do. Details still TBD, but we’ll keep it competitive and clear.

@dgreenstein1 Hey David, could you help figure out how Vault earns revenue? If the fans can subscribe to artists’ vaults for free and 100% of the drops income go directly to the artists, it surely must be on the artist side that you gain revenue somehow? I can’t find this communicated anywhere

@raihan_ i think thats totally fine. the same goes on at concerts imo with everyone taking videos (to stunt). if the experience creates a moment or memory around the music, i think thats what it takes but hard to execute on.
