projects
propose, fund, and complete collaborative work — all enforced by code, not trust.
what is a project?
a project is a proposal for collaborative work — a show, film, recording, installation, workshop, or anything else. it lives on the blockchain as an automated agreement. the proposer defines the team, the funding goal, the tiers, and the revenue splits. the community funds it.
the lifecycle
1. propose
any registered artist can propose a project. define:
- team — collaborators and their split percentages
- funding goal — how much ETH the project needs
- tiers — what funders receive (tickets, producer credits, etc.)
- location — where the project takes place
- revenue sharing — optional. commit to sharing a percentage of revenue with funders.
2. fund
anyone — artists and audience members — can fund a project by choosing a tier. if the funding goal is not met, everyone gets a full refund automatically. you can withdraw your contribution at any time before the goal is reached.
3. confirm
once the work is done, the proposer and a majority of team members confirm completion. this triggers the dispute window.
4. dispute window
funders can dispute within the project's dispute window (0-30 days, set by proposer at project creation, default 3 days). if enough funders dispute, the project can be cancelled and funds returned. if no disputes pass the threshold, funds distribute automatically.
5. distribution
funds distribute according to the splits defined in the proposal. every collaborator receives their share. permanent credentials are issued to every team member — non-transferable, non-purchasable proof of contribution.
6. revenue sharing
if enabled, the team sends revenue back to the contract and funders claim their proportional share. all automated.
credentials
every completed project issues permanent credentials to all team members. these are non-transferable and tied to your account forever. they form a verifiable resume that proves your contributions — can't be faked, can't be bought.
tickets
project tiers can include tickets. tickets can be resold on the ticket marketplace — set your price, buyers pay, sellers withdraw. only tickets are resalable. producer and contributor credentials are permanent and non-transferable.
all project rules — splits, refunds, disputes, credential issuance — are enforced by smart contracts. no one can change the rules after a project is proposed, including praxis.
