Our mission:
connect artists with their fans
Pianity revolutionizes the music industry by enforcing fairer revenues for artists and exclusive content for fans and collectors.
About
Pianity is a music NFT platform – built on environmentally-conscious Arweave technology — where musicians and their community gather to create, sell, buy and collect songs in limited editions. Pianity’s pioneering approach, which includes free listening for all, enables deeper connections between artists and their audience.
Because Pianity treats music as fine art, artists gain a new source of independent revenue while simultaneously enabling fans to grow and showcase their music collections.
Pianity is privately held and headquartered in Paris, France.

How we are building the future of music
The Open Web Foundry helps early-stage founders build successful applications running on the Arweave network.
Each week, collectors receive a fraction of the NFT sales of the previous week. It was the first step to build a Profit-Sharing Community.
“The music industry is broken and we are on a mission to fix it. Everyone helping us to bridge that gap should be rewarded at least as much as us. With this philosophy, we’re the only Profit-Sharing community in the music industry!”
Kevin, Co-founder and CEO of Pianity
While owning PIA tokens, holders get to vote on decisions with the rest of the community.
As we’re building a community-driven music platform, the Leaderboards represent a keystone in our mission. The Leaderboards reward the most active users over the week. Over 26k $PIA are distributed each week.
The community gets to decide on which artists and tracks will be minted and sold as NFTs on the marketplace.
That was over $1.000.000 redistributed to artists!
At the end of the day, the only metric that matters is that to date, we redistributed $2 million to artists thanks to NFT sales.
Everyone can sell and buy NFT on the secondary market, while artists will keep earning 8% of the transaction each time the song is sold again.
