From 3MILY MVP to SONGS

Back in 2020, the “3MILY” MVP explored what it could mean for independent artists to issue shares of their music royalties directly to their fanbase — without intermediaries, using Ethereum smart contracts.

It was a R&D proof of concept:

• 1000 ERC20 tokens were minted to represent 100% of the “3MILY” royalty pool.
• A signed Royalty Agreement, notarized with a Soundreef catalog entry and Bitcoin timestamp, was stored on IPFS.
• A first batch of tokens was listed on Uniswap, with liquidity provided in Livepeer Tokens.

That experiment asked a simple but powerful question:
👉 What if music royalties could circulate like any other digital property, directly between artists and their community?

What’s next: Migration to Songs Tools

If you took part in the original 3MY PoC — and your address is listed on Etherscan — you will now find the equivalent of your original shares migrated to songs-tools.com. Make sure you log in with the original address holding 3MY tokens.

This migration is not just technical housekeeping. It finally confers real value to the early R&D participation:

• On Songs Tools, the migrated shares represent a direct participation in the streaming revenues of the song “3MILY.”
• The system is designed to track and distribute royalties transparently, using an updated contract framework.
• This closes the loop that the MVP first opened: turning a speculative idea into a functioning pipeline of value from music platforms back to the community of supporters.

Why it matters

The Open Label vision was always about more than one song. It was about proving that fans can be co-owners, not just consumers. By moving to Songs Tools, “3MILY” now lives as a working case study in community-driven royalty participation.

For artists, it shows there is an alternative to the “Spotify funnel” — one where digital releases are not just marketing utilities but monetizable assets.
For fans, it means their early belief and support can finally carry financial upside, not only cultural capital.

This is just one step in a longer path, but the principle stands:
🎶 music as property, shared and circulated in open networks, creates new economies of participation.
