Every time I deal with LANDR, CD Baby, or DistroKid, I lose a little more hair.

I just want to upload music and publish it. Instead: metadata forms, review queues, royalty splits across seventeen intermediaries, dashboard hell, and platforms that could change terms or shut down whenever they want.

So I built D'audio—a decentralized streaming platform using Shelby for storage and Aptos for payments. You upload, it publishes. That's it.

Why Decentralized Streaming

AWS and Azure outages keep making the case. Centralized platforms are single points of failure. They go down. They change terms. Sometimes they just disappear.

Decentralized storage solves this. No single server to fail. No platform deciding what's allowed. Creators connect directly to listeners without someone in the middle taking a cut or making rules.

Shelby handles hot storage on Aptos the way early stablecoins handled dollar-pegged value—it's infrastructure that seems obvious in retrospect but barely exists yet.

What's Live

My recordings are on D'audio—same music that's on Spotify and Apple Music, but without intermediaries:

• Debussy: Clair de Lune, Arabesque 1
• Chopin: Nocturne 2, Nocturne 20
• Hisaishi: Howl's Moving Castle
• Joplin: The Entertainer
• Vince Guaraldi: Christmas Time is Here
• Singularity (original)

Everything's free and playable 24/7. Publishers can list for free (always tip-eligible) or require pay-per-stream (beta).

Features

• Profiles, likes, comments, tipping
• Audio and video clips to a global feed
• All user content (including PFPs) stored on Shelby

Note: Currently on Shelby Devnet—content gets wiped monthly. Once mainnet launches, uploads become immutable (within ToS).
