Viberate is a decentralized platform designed for the live music industry. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, it serves as an ecosystem connecting artists, fans, event organizers, and talent management agencies. The platform provides a space for musicians to showcase their talents, determine their music pricing, manage their careers more efficiently, and engage with their audience through a blockchain-supported infrastructure.
Viberate operates on the Ethereum blockchain using ERC-20 compliant tokens known as VIB. It leverages smart contracts to facilitate secure and transparent transactions within the platform. These smart contracts are used for processes such as booking services, ticket sales, and escrow payments, ensuring that contractual conditions are met before payments are processed. This system enables automated and reliable interactions between musicians, event organizers, and fans.

Significant milestones include the release of Viberate 1.0 in 2016, the launch of Viberate 2.0 which integrated blockchain technology in 2017, and a successful token generation event (TGE) in October 2017, raising over $12 million in funding rounds. The platform has since continued to develop tools and features to support the music industry.
