Journey
Curators begin with an onboarding flow that captures their platform type, audience, and public identity.
Once approved, curators can create structured offer templates instead of rewriting the same workflow repeatedly.
Messages, submissions, offers, payouts, and proof of work all stay tied to the same system.
Outcomes
Offer templates, approved transactions, and payout history create a more stable curator experience.
Approval, profile review, and public-facing accountability help artists understand who they are working with.
Submissions, saved artists, presets, messages, and wallet activity are designed to work together rather than compete for attention.
Why it is structured this way
The platform protects the marketplace by checking curator profiles before the strongest workflow features are opened up.
Preset and verified coverage tools help curators scale quality without relying on copy-paste outreach.
Curators can follow work status, earnings, and approval outcomes from the same product surface.
Questions
The platform is built for playlist curators, journalists, media outlets, tastemakers, influencers, and other music discovery professionals with a real platform and audience.
Approved curator accounts can manage offer presets, review artist submissions, send offers, use wallet flows, and build a stronger public profile inside the platform.
Verification standards help artists trust the marketplace and give curators a stronger foundation for offers, submissions, and public reputation.
Apply as a curator, show your platform clearly, and grow inside a system artists can understand quickly.
