Music deserves better
DAPS is a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation pursuing B-Corp certification. Being fair isn't hard technically — it's just something the incumbents appear unwilling to do.
Our mission
DAPS builds a fairer and richer music ecosystem to reward creators and bring fans closer to the artists they love.
Our vision
A music economy where fandom and artistry thrive.
Our values
Artist equity
Fair compensation and real ownership. 4–6x better streaming payouts plus integrated e-commerce. Sales as easy as streams.
Fan agency
Listeners as active participants, not passive consumers. Build, customize, and own your experience.
Radical transparency
Open by design, transparent economics, community-auditable code. The money follows the music.
Responsible growth
Public Benefit Corporation pursuing B-Corp certification. No mission-drift. Stakeholder interests are baked into our charter.
