BEAT DAO INTRODUCTION
The NEAR Protocol has proved its mettle with the creation of guilds so far has generated commensurate traction for the near protocol using music, poetry, soundracks as an avenue of expaniding the NEAR ecosystem. The evidence of this lies in the number of musical artistes onboarded, audio NFTs minted and the revenue generated from the sale of these NFTs.
Who We Are:
A novel DAO that would be Called “BEAT DAO”. This DAO would be ecosystem supporting music producers around the world with regards to expanding NEAR Protocol and using its tools in the daily life.
