Why
The production ecosystem is scattered. Sell music on Bandcamp. Share samples on Gumroad. Distribute tools separately. Build community on Discord. Teach on Instagram. There is no single home for underground music and the people who make it. Digs is that place — and the first marketplace where discovering an artist early becomes part of your identity.
How it works
Discover first
Browse underground tracks, sample packs and production tools. Listening is free — no wallet needed to start.
Buy direct
Purchase music or assets. 88% goes to the artist instantly — in the same transaction, no 30-day wait. Tips are 100% theirs.
Own your record
Every purchase is timestamped on-chain. Back an artist before they break and your name stays on their page permanently. The best scouts rise on the leaderboard.
Why micropayments finally work here
$0.001
Per transaction
vs Stripe's 30¢ + 2.9%. A $1.50 sample pack loses 20% to fees on fiat. Here it costs nothing.
Instant
Artist gets paid
In the same transaction as the buyer. No escrow. No 30-day wait. The contract never holds funds.
On-chain
Fee structure
Rates are set in a smart contract. Any change requires a 7-day notice. What you see is what you get.
For artists
Keep 88% on tracks, 80% on assets, 100% on tips. Paid instantly — not in 30 days. Fee structure is locked in a smart contract. No surprises.
For scouts
The best ears in the underground deserve a record. Find artists before they break — your first purchase timestamps you as an early supporter, permanently, on their page. Climb the leaderboard. Unlock access and status as you build your history in the scene.
FAQ
What can artists sell on Digs?
Music tracks, albums, sample packs, Max4Live devices, drum racks, instrument presets and Ableton sessions. If you made it in the studio, you can sell it here.
What do scouts get?
A real name in the scene: public reputation, leaderboard standing, early access, badges and unlockable status as you climb. Recognition and access, not cash.
Do I need crypto to start?
No. Listening, liking and commenting are free and need no wallet. A wallet only kicks in when you decide to buy or tip an artist.
How does the scout score work?
It rises when you back diverse, lesser-known artists who then grow organically, and when you keep contributing over time. It falls with inactivity or artificial behaviour. The logic is public; exact weights stay private to prevent gaming.
What do artists keep?
Artists keep 88% on tracks, 80% on sample packs and assets, 100% on tips. Fees are set in an on-chain contract and any change requires a 7-day notice.
