Instead, the founders are  focusing on the live music market, an industry they have been living  and breathing for the past 15 years. They are a group of music  executives and creatives, including one of world&#8217;s biggest techno DJs  and producers, UMEK. Their goal is to solve problems the live music  market has been dealing with for decades.<\/p>\n<p> Viberate&#8217;s end game is to offer any musician on the planet the  opportunity to open a profile for free and start offering gigs to event  organizers in exchange for crypto coins such as Bitcoin, Ether, or their  very own Vibe.<\/p>\n<p> The service is already live as some kind of &#8220;IMDb for musicians,&#8221; with  over 120 thousand profiles of artists from all genres. Musicians can add  their profiles or claim an existing one. Among those who claimed their  official profiles are Robbie Williams and Linkin Park, so the service  has already received some recognition from big names.<\/p>\n<p> Viberate will offer its Vibe token in a public crowdsale to fund the  implementation of marketplace and blockchain features onto the existing  platform. Tokens will then be used to reward those who will contribute  to the growth of the service by adding new profiles or curating existing  ones. Aside from trading, Vibe token holders will be able to book  musicians for events via Viberate. The founders aim for the Vibe token  to become the go-to digital currency for the live music industry.<\/p>\n<p> Article &amp; Image Source: www.viberate.io<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supported by the European Commission&#8217;s &#8220;Music Moves Europe&#8221; initiative as well as the Slovenian Ministry&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6628\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
