FEATURED PRODUCERS: SktheAlternator (Lagos, Nigeria) Wizzow (Jakarta, Indonesia) Paul Crans (Poland, Gdynia) Big M (Ibadan, Nigeria) Jon Blok (New York, United States) The Beat Dao collective has several accomplished and upcoming producers who have found a way to collaborate and organize themselves on the NEAR protocol as a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). Members of a DAO can vote on initiatives for the entity and smart contracts are also implemented for the DAO. The code governing the DAO's operations is publicly disclosed for full transparency. NEAR Protocol is a simple, secure and scalable decentralized application (dApp) platform that focuses on developer and user-friendliness. Its native NEAR tokens are used to pay for transaction fees and storage on the NEAR crypto platform. Beat DAO has chosen to operate on NEAR Protocol because of their user-friendly interface, affordable and inclusive operational costs, carbon neutral technology and ethical, creative and community oriented culture. Through digital and physical events, the Beat Dao collective seeks to inspire a worldwide music community through collaboration, skills sharing, and web3 tech education.
