The music industry is broken. Creating cultural value does not provide a livable income for 90+% of artists. We need to rethink the value and distribution of creative work. We need new, transparent, flexible economic models. Even wants to tackle the problem of financial inequity within the music industry. Even is an open protocol that encourages group collaboration, connects niche artists to micro-communities, and supports culture through productive exchanges.

Each artist has an ideal way to fund their practice, involve and reward their audiences, or orchestrate collaborations. No single tool could satisfy the complex requirements that millions of individual artists have. In light of these individualities, Even is a protocol with a modular architecture that enables artists, curators, and fans to easily compose custom economic mechanisms that give them complete control over how they share and distribute the value of their work. We want artists to be able to create their ideals and own their success, with ease.
