    Project lead: Robert Goené

    In our increasingly digitized society, online spaces are oftentimes owned – or exploited – by large tech companies that seem to disconnect from shared public values. We have become largely dependent on their digital services, and digital platform or content creators are bound to their terms. The standard is ‘free’ platforms built on advertisement income. In other words, the rights of users are violated by exploiting their personal data. These disruptive changes in our socio-economic landscape demand research into new financial models that are based on public values.

    • Location: Nigeria
    Project lead: Seyi Osunade

    This project seeks to monetize the use of Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Humans and Computer Apart (CAPTCHA), a web authentication system, during online transactions. A CAPTCHA system developed by the team will be used to test various Web Monetization models. The team will integrate Web Monetization API into the CAPTCHA and deploy on a website. A rewarded product demonstration and survey campaign will be done to allow users interact with the monetized CAPTCHA system. Data will be collected on user’s activity such as keystrokes, response time and any related security issues. The analysis will provide insight into monetization of authentication systems such as CAPTCHA.

  4. Monetize the Value of Music Together and Create Economic Diversification

    Grant for the Web

    100 000 USD

    • Location: Netherlands
    Project lead: Hessel van Oorschot

    To monetize music on the web you need to own the music or receive the written consent from rights holders to monetize their content. Today, only a small number of people and businesses dictate how music is (traditionally) monetized online and who gets paid. The unfairness of the current system is well documented by reliable sources. So if we want to research and unleash a resilient payment infrastructure and promote inclusive and sustainable monetization models for musicians and the music sector we have to start with artists, 100% in control and willing to experiment with new business models.

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Art Neil

    Encouraging content creators to follow the law and ethics means that they will use their grants to be part of the “solution,” as opposed to the “problem.” We want to create an ecosystem where lengthy and expensive privacy and IP-related suits are no longer necessary because the projects have attended to these issues in advance.

    In the technology and music spaces, Women, Black, Brown, Asian, Indigenous, and LGBTQ communities have been underrepresented and under-served with far less access to equal resources and salaries than their white male cis counterparts.  We want to give our community the opportunity to use cutting edge resources and technology to further advance their careers and artist profiles. In addition, we want to see our community receive the financial dues they deserve.
