Music

We need a protocol similar to Farcaster that can serve as home for all the new music being produced worldwide. Imagine all the cool music clients that devs could build. Seems like the only way to truly break free from the monopolistic control exercised by Spotify, YouTube, Apple, and major record labels.

IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave, etc for storage

Audius, Sound.xyz, etc for discovery / revenue sharing

What am I missing?

Why does Farcaster require hubs if storage was already solved by the solutions you mentioned? I’m genuinely curious about this.

As I understand it, Hubs are more than just storing raw data - they need to sync up all the links between casts, validate messages cryptographically, resolve conflicts and so forth.

This is true. I assume that music isn’t only about storage either. So not sure if IPFS is the best solution.
