SOMESING is a blockchain-based social singing platform that operates as a global mobile karaoke application. Launched in 2018 by a team based in Korea and Singapore, the project aims to revolutionize the music industry by addressing issues related to creator profit sharing, high service costs, and the lack of transparency in copyright management. Built on the Klaytn blockchain network, the platform allows users to record their singing, share it with a global audience, and participate in a decentralized content ecosystem. The core mission of SOMESING is to provide a transparent and fair reward system for content creators. Unlike traditional music platforms where rewards are often managed by a centralized authority, SOMESING uses smart contracts to automate the distribution of incentives. When a user uploads a song, a dedicated wallet is created for that content. This wallet accumulates contributions from other users through gifts and support. After a specific period, the accumulated tokens are automatically distributed to the creator and other contributors based on their engagement, ensuring that everyone involved in the content creation process is recognized. Key features of the platform include high-quality recording tools, social sharing capabilities, and a duet function that allows users to collaborate with others or even sing alongside professional artists. The project has also expanded its Web3 offerings by introducing NFT minting, which allows users to claim digital ownership of the content they create. This shift toward a Web3 environment is part of a broader roadmap to build what the team calls the Singverse, a virtual music-centered ecosystem where users can connect and interact. The project utilizes the SSG token as its primary utility and reward medium. Following a token swap in early 2024, SSG became the central token used within the ecosystem for rewarding high-quality content, facilitating community engagement, and supporting platform operations. Users earn these tokens by creating popular recordings or engaging with the community through listening and sharing. In addition to its social features, SOMESING has pursued partnerships with major technology and music entities to expand its reach. The platform has also focused on integrating artificial intelligence to enhance content curation and provide personalized user experiences. By combining karaoke with blockchain technology, the project seeks to make decentralized applications accessible to a mainstream audience through the universal appeal of music and singing.
