Why should you invest and hold Rhythm?

The Problem

The music industry is a barely touched market in the Blockchain industry due to the difficulty of solving the initial problems of funding, paying the artists, and getting artists to use the platform.

With music streaming platforms spending less time on utility and innovation and more time on their user interface, it’s time to bring innovation back to the music industry. At Rhythm, we aim to open the doors of DeFi to the music industry with an ecosystem which plans on slowly transitioning the music industry into a decentralized system that works end-to-end.

The current approach to decentralized music streaming is to build a CeDeFi/dApp that allows artists to create NFT’s of their music and albums, which is a great idea. However, this approach only contains NFT hosted music and excludes 99.9% of the music industry with their music hosted on platforms such as YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.

The DeFi space needs to offer something of value to the music industry before well-known artists start opening themselves towards joining the DeFi space, and that's where Rhythm comes in.

Our Product

Rhythm is a CeDeFi Desktop music streaming platform with over 100 million songs, music videos and podcasts that is built on-top of a Chromium Browser. Our embedding tools allowed us to build a powerful, yet simple to use, interface that turns YouTube into a streaming platform that people will want to use.

Rhythm Music takes full advantage of the power of the Rhythm Protocol at its core. The Rhythm Protocol will power the wallet perks, NFT pins, NFT playlists, NFT albums and all of our future projects.

We plan on eventually building a full dApp version of Rhythm and will take baby steps towards reaching that goal, with our first step of releasing the CeDeFi version of Rhythm. The Rhythm dApp will give the community a voice in the development of Rhythm with community votes on new feature ideas, more use-cases / new projects for Rhythm, and much more.

NFT Pins

We will be releasing our NFT community market during the first half of 2022, where verified artists will be able to list their pins for sale. Pins will be limited edition, tradeable and sellable on our market. We plan on partnering with Artists, YouTubers and Twitch Streamers, where we will release limited edition NFT Artist, YouTuber & Twitch Streamer character pins.

NFT Playlists

Did you make a great playlist that gained a large following? List your playlist on the community market as a Limited Edition NFT playlist. Playlists that you have purchased will be displayed on your profile. NFT playlists will be tradeable and sellable on the community market. This features release date will be announced during Q1, 2022.

NFT Albums

Partnered artists that release new albums and singles will have the option to list their new releases as a Limited Edition NFT on the community market. NFT albums and singles will be tradeable and sellable on the community market. This features release date will be announced during Q1, 2022.

Rhythm AI Creation Suite

Five connected AI workflows designed to move from an idea to an artist-controlled song.
Rich Text to Beat — turn a written mood, tempo, instrument list, or creative direction into a structured beat concept.
Rich Text to Lyric — develop prompts and stories into verses, hooks, rhyme patterns, and editable lyric drafts.
Artist Override — let artists define tone, vocabulary, arrangement rules, and creative boundaries for every AI output.
AI Song Editing — refine beat direction, lyrics, structure, energy, and phrasing inside one connected workflow.
Microphone Singing AI — capture a vocal idea through a microphone and use it as an expressive guide for melody and performance.

The Development Process

Our embedding tools remixed with the Rhythm Protocol allow us to tokenize the entire YouTube platform. We are innovating the music and blockchain industries and we're showing the entire music industry what DeFi has to offer.

When artists realize that they can link their wallet to their Rhythm account and open a new avenue of revenue per month with tracked streams, NFT's and more, there will be no reason for them not to join as a partner

1
Plan the project.
2
Pitch the project to get funding (Funding a project of this magnitude would require millions dollars).
3
Contact different music labels for the rights to use their catalog of artist music, albums, etc.
4
Develop the music streaming project.
5
Promote the project and once the project starts building a large member base, you contact the music labels you are signed with and work out a better cost-per-stream rate so your business can become more profitable, which results in artists being paid less.
1
Planned the project and realized we could use an embedded web browser to build a wrapper over YouTube.
2
We spent four years building three different versions of Rhythm. The first version was a program that had everything thrown together to prove it could work. The second version was a UX / UI update of the first version. The third version was a complete re-design and re-development of the program. This time with a planned design structure and UI/UX designer for the designs.
3
After version 2, we pitched Rhythm and received $50,000 of funding to pay for licenses and equipment to continue developing the project.
4
After planning and searching for the perfect way to promote Rhythm, we realized we could also develop and apply a token to Rhythm that would have both a use-case, as well as using the tokens tax as a way to partner directly with artists and pay them a secondary source of revenue from their YouTube music listings.

Our eco-system

Rhythm Music is our first project in the Rhythm eco-system that will be released. We have another project, which is a non-music related product, that will be announced during Q1, 2022.

A connected music ecosystem linking headphones, recording, releases and a digital network

Partnerships With
Other Tokens

Rhythm aims to be the music ecosystem for all of DeFi. We have already started our project partnership program by partnering with multiple successful DeFi projects including SafeMoon, WatcherGuru, Vulkania, and BubbleMaps, and many more. Rhythm will be accepting all partnered tokens as a payment for Rhythm premium subscription service and will continue partnering with and accepting new tokens as a payment for our subscription service.

We plan on burning 50% of all partnered tokens received for our subscription service and will the sell the remaining 50%. The sold tokens will be invested into the Artist Partner Program.

The Rhythm Contract

Rhythm is preparing a redesigned smart contract with a fixed total supply of 100,000,000 RHYTHM, replacing the legacy 20 billion token model. The smaller, clearer supply is intended to make allocations, liquidity planning, and market reporting easier to understand.

The redesigned contract removes buy, sell, and wallet-to-wallet transfer fees. With no automatic transaction-tax routing, transfers become more predictable for members, artists, integrations, and future exchange listings.

We are also simplifying the contract architecture, separating essential permissions, and designing administration around multisignature control. This will make the code easier to test, audit, maintain, and integrate without unnecessary legacy complexity.

The final contract address, migration process, allocation breakdown, and launch timeline will be published through official Rhythm channels after testing and independent audits are complete.

Investor Safety

In regards to owner control, we are a legally registered New Zealand LTD governed by a central board which is subject to governmental regulations and law. Our team members are publicly shown on the front page of our website and our business information is displayed on the company office website.

I have provided all of my information including personal and business information to give investors surety and confidence that a rug-pull is not possible for this project.

Additionally, you can view that the company was registered in 2017, proving that we have been working on Rhythm (formerly known as BeatPlaylist) for over four years. This token is not a rug-pull, this is an attempt to innovate both the blockchain and music industry, and I am grateful that I can work on a project that will innovate both industries.

Legacy Token Distribution

Presale

The Rhythm presale was hosted on DxSale and successfully raised 40 BNB in less than 10 seconds, with 100% of the raised BNB being locked for one year and added to PancakeSwap as initial Liquidity.

Simplified Trading

The new contract removes the legacy transfer taxes and fee-based trading rules. Any final launch safeguards will be documented before deployment and designed to preserve straightforward wallet and exchange compatibility.

Fixed 100M Supply

The redesigned token is planned with a fixed supply of 100 million RHYTHM instead of the legacy 20 billion supply. The final allocation and migration details will be published before deployment so members can verify how the new supply is distributed.

This reset gives Rhythm a cleaner foundation for product rewards, artist royalties, liquidity, and exchange integrations.

Revenue-Funded Liquidity

Liquidity will be supported by Rhythm's products and operations rather than automatic transaction fees. This keeps token transfers fee-free while connecting liquidity growth to real platform activity.

Additionally, 25% of all fiat-paid premium subscription revenue will be invested into the Rhythm Liquidity Pool.

Audits

The redesigned Rhythm contract will complete testing and independent security audits before its final address and migration process are announced.

You can also view the legacy TechRate audit here.

Fiat Buy

Fiat purchasing of Rhythm will be available directly on Rhythm Music and our website mid Q1, 2022. Fiat Buy was delayed from Q4, 2021 due to length partnership deals. The Fiat wallet will handle buy-back and transferring for Fiat purchases.

Our Fiat payment system will work as followed:

Member enters their Rhythm wallet address, the amount of Rhythm they want to purchase, their debit/credit card information and then confirm the transaction (We will display both the amount of Rhythm the member is purchasing and the purchase price).

Once the transaction is confirmed, we automatically transfer Rhythm from the Fiat wallet to the wallet address provided by the member.

We will do monthly buy-backs of Rhythm with the total amount of Fiat currency accumulated through our payment processor. All buy-backs will be listed here

Additionally, 25% of all fiat-paid premium subscription revenue will be invested into the Rhythm Liquidity Pool.

How do we plan on paying artists?

The Artist Fund

The Artist Fund will be supported by premium subscriptions, AI creation services, platform revenue, and partnership activity rather than a tax on token transfers.

Rhythm will track eligible listening and product activity for partnered artists. The royalty system planned for Phase 3 will turn that verified usage into a transparent monthly payment calculation.

Payments will be sent directly to artist wallets, while artist dashboards will make stream totals, eligible revenue, and payment history easier to review.

This fee-free model aligns artist earnings with the growth of Rhythm's music and AI products without adding friction to everyday RHYTHM transfers.

Artist Partner Program

The Artist Partner Program will open multiple brand new sources of revenue for our partnered artists and will:

Track partnered artists streams, including both premium and free members through Rhythm and pay them per stream.

Give partnered artists the ability to create and release NFT albums, singles, and pins on our community market for their fans.

Find upcoming artists and offer them a launchpad to boost their audience. Our launchpad will have an artist submission and voting system, which will allow the community to submit their favorite upcoming artists for the launchpad.

Give partnered graphical artists the ability to create and release NFT pins on our community market.

Invest into smaller, upcoming artists that need resources to expand their brands, such as providing equipment, software, and network connections.

All Artists partnered with Rhythm will share a piece of the pie, and payments will be sent monthly and directly to artist wallets.

1

Initially, artists we are partnered with will split the artist fund equally, monthly.

2

As we partner with more artists, each artist's percentage of the artist wallet will decrease.

3

At this point, we will begin developing a payment percentage algorithm that will calculate an artist's payment percentage based on the number of streams an artist makes out of the total partnered artist streams.

Conclusion

Rhythm is building a connected music platform where AI creation tools, artist-controlled workflows, streaming, royalties, and a redesigned 100 million supply token can work together.

Our goal is to give artists and members better creative tools, transparent monthly value sharing, fee-free transfers, and a simpler audited contract foundation. Join us as we shape the next generation of music creation and listening.
