iLink2Music: A music entertainment community nexus
The Internet has brought about a revolution in the music entertainment industry, one that is by no means over yet. The industry is in flux, struggling to find the proper balance between the interests of its different stakeholders: the artists, the fans and the intermediaries. One recent trend is for the line between fans and artists to get blurred, as new types of online interactions between them become available and as more ordinary people use the freewheeling environment of the Internet to become performers in their own right.
iLink2Music wants to become a new sort of hub for this growing and evolving entertainment community. It plans to bring together musicians and their fans and help the latter become the former. Although it offers a broad array of community features tied together by a cryptocurrency economy, its star offer is a contest platform with blockchain-enabled voting.
What will the community get from iLink2Music?
iLink2Music will serve as a music entertainment-oriented social media platform with many different features, including an online international radio station, a newsfeed, forums, blogs, casual games, live concert streams, physical merchandise and virtual gift stores, co-creation workshops and contests. People will be able to create user profiles and, if they wish, become involved in various activities and competitions, as well as simply share content with each other and collaborate on creative projects. While a large part of the platform's offerings will be free, users will have to pay ELINK tokens in order to use a variety of premium offers, such as in-game purchases, subscriptions and access to exclusive content, all carried out through smart contracts. There will also be promotions, such as getting a free mobile device from one of the platform's sponsors after spending enough hours on the platform.
The aforementioned contests form a key part of iLink2Music's concept. The platform will be used to run many different contests with prizes for both established celebrities and influencers and up and coming members of the platform's userbase. Both participating in and voting on the contests, according to their specific rules, will require ELINK. The IL2Voting platform will combine public and private blockchains for maximum security. The actual voting process can be handled on-chain or off-chain, but in either case voting records will be verified and recorded on the public blockchain, while voter anonymity will be preserved. The contests will provide both exposure and prizes for the winners.
What are the advantages of this project?
iLink2Music's voting protocol offers a solution for the drama that so often accompanies online voting, providing both security and transparency to generate credibility for its hosted competitions. Together with the variety of features promised by the rest of the community platform, this should make it attractive to users. If that calculation pays off and the site becomes popular, iLink2Music will have many different options when it comes to expanding its revenue stream, such as advertising, more promotions and games, music downloads and so on. Meanwhile, community users will gain a new hub in which to get together and perhaps try to gain exposure.
Several members of the iLink2Music team have significant experience and connections in the entertainment industry, and should be able to use this to gain critical early support for the project. To that end, the team also promises to conduct an aggressive marketing campaign through different channels. Later on, it pledges to build on user feedback. The project already has copyrights and trademark applications in North America and the European Union.

Cryptocurrency's got talent?
Contests play an important role in the modern entertainment ecosystem, allowing new performers to test and show off their talents while gaining valuable exposure. The main innovative proposal of iLink2Music – a more trustworthy voting system – may seem like a relatively small thing, but it will doubtless have some appeal. If it is accepted, then it could become very important for the continued evolution of the industry.
The rest of the project is currently bigger on promises than on specific details, but perhaps that is just a matter of time. Certainly there is room for a comprehensive music hub with a strong token economy, if the team can provide one. Both the actual value of iLink2Music and its success will depend on its ability to attract enough users and partners. If it recruits enough stakeholders, it could play a big part in the online music community in years to come.
