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:

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.
