Proof of Creative Contribution (PoCC) (Giannoutakis)

Proof of Creative Contribution (PoCC) is a blockchain protocol to validate and enhance the collaborative music composition process within decentralized frameworks. PoCC quantifies the compositional effort of contributors in a system, governed by explicit rules and managed through a consensus mechanism. This protocol ensures fairness and transparency in collaborative artistic endeavors, rewarding composers based on the community's appreciation of their segments. PoCC represents a significant step toward reimagining decentralized musicking, stimulating research, and experimentation in creative collaboration and communalization, and initiating discussions on the coordination technologies' ethics and politics in music.
