What is Viberate Crypto?

Viberate is an Ethereum-based decentralized ecosystem for live music talent. Basically, it links artists, fans, event organizers, and talent management agencies all together on the same platform. Therefore, it’s both a Business-to-Business (B2B) and a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) marketplace.

To begin with, fans have the opportunity to look through the profile of musicians, see the dates of future concerts, purchase tickets, and receive other important information from the music industry. Simultaneously, event organizers have the opportunity to find artists and performers quickly. Artists and musicians, on the other hand, can have an inflow of standing orders.

Viberate recognizes that the music industry has been long dominated by a few management companies that control a vast majority of popular artists performing at prominent venues. At the same time, small artists are having difficulty getting recognition, therefore, failing to connect with venues that want their business.

How Does Viberate Work?

Viberate’s business model is multifaceted. As reiterated before, it’s both a B2B and a B2C marketplace. Therefore, it can be a little challenging to understand. However, we break down everything in this section.

B2C Model

  • Ticket Sales: Viberate intends to offer tickets for live concerts and festivals whereby fans can purchase tickets using crypto. The tickets are then sent to their wallets as tokens. Smart contracts are used to hold fees in escrow so that fans can get refunds if the event doesn’t happen. Additionally, reseller functionality is embedded into the smart contract, allowing tickets to be resold in case the original buyer can’t make it.
  • Crowdfund Performances: This functionality allows fans to crowdfund performances. Basically, fans can crowdfund to have their favorite artist come perform for them. To do this, they would have to stake VIB tokens until a particular threshold is met. If sufficient funds are raised, the artist performs and receives the share. If not, all those who donated receive a refund.

B2B Model

  • Link Musicians with Event Organizers: Viberate plays a matching role between artists and event organizers. This enables any venue to locate and match with any artist, and vice versa. Payments are made in ETH or VIB, whereby smart contracts hold the artist’s funds in escrow. Viberate takes a booking commission out of the funds, however, at a lower rate.
  • Link Industry Partners to PR and Artist Contacts: Those wishing to connect with artists for a business reason, will have to pay in VIB token or ETH for premium access.
  • Earn Rewards: All users on the platform can earn rewards from the VIB bounty pool. The rewards are based on what sort of activity is being conducted; registering for the service, referring friends, and maintenance of the database.

Key Features of Viberate

  • Analytics: Viberate provides a lot of data that can help every user across the platform make profitable decisions. For instance, through music analytics, artists can get their tracks on the right radio stations & playlists. Managers can also measure promotional campaigns & track their rosters. Talent companies can scout for talent even faster. Good analytics simply save time & effort.
  • Compare Artists: Viberate monitors all major music and social channels (Spotify, Beatport, YouTube, Instagram, etc). Data covers every artist in the world. The platform then ranks, analyzes and updates this data on a daily basis. Therefore, you have the access to data that can help you compare a multitude of artists both locally & internationally.
  • Charts: Through Viberate, users can access unbiased and regularly updated charts ranking every label, festival, track, playlist, and artist all over the world.

Viberate Coin

Because Viberate is Ethereum-based, the Viberate coin is an ERC-20 token. There are currently about 198,135,000 VIBs in circulation with a supply of 200,000,000. The max supply is currently unknown. The current price of Viberate crypto stands at 0.02707336 USD. The coin ranks in position 1,160 on CoinMarketCap with a live market capitalization of $5,363,797 USD.

Viberate Roadmap

Viberate intends to roll out functionality in a series of stages. Initially, the company started in 2016 as a registry of DJs. However, by mid-2017, Viberate 2.0 launched after a venture funding of worth $440,000 USD. Later on, through a website, it raised over $10 million USD in venture funds. This allowed the creation of the booking agency & affiliate relationships with ticketing services. Future functionalities include the launch of the booking functionality along with the digital ticket booking platform.

Crypto transaction fees may vary depending on the network (Ethereum transaction fees tend to spike during the congestion on the network), your chosen cryptocurrency, an instant exchange provider as well as its transaction processing speed and internal policy. These fees may be relatively low but it’s crucial to know they may be imposed in the first place.

If you want to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees, beware of the offers with a grey-colored “Transaction fees are not included” label displayed under the exchange rate. To avoid having to pay an unexpected amount of fees during the exchange, opt for those that do not have that label. Read our articles to learn more about how to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees and find out which assets have the lowest transaction fees.

What is average transaction time?

Transactions usually take from 5 to 30 minutes to be processed, especially if you choose currencies with speedy networks. However, there are several factors that may affect and slow down the exchange process, i.e. transaction volume, blockchain capacity, network updates, cryptocurrency itself and the capacity or chosen exchange platforms.

The processing may take longer due to the large transaction volume, congestion of the network, blockchain overload and market overload, technical issues or system failures, lack of liquidity or network maintenance.

The transaction may be also stuck if you forget to add a required Extra ID, mistake networks or use the wrong wallet for a chosen crypto asset. If you worry that the exchange processing is taking too long, please, contact us at [email protected] or via our live chat on the landing page.
