HOW THE TRUST
WORKS

It is led by its purpose

To help local music ecosystems thrive everywhere.

IT HAS FIVE CORE
PRINCIPLES

01

Stewardship

The core assets are held in common: code and data.

The Trust stewards them for the long-term benefit of local music ecosystems.

02

No Enclosure

These assets can never be sold.

No one can buy them and put them to another purpose.

03

No Extraction

Contribution is rewarded, not control.

People can earn from helping the system grow, but not by charging forever.

04

Always Open

Communities can adapt the tools and move their data.

No lock-in. No dead ends.

05

Community First

Governed by the people who build, use and sustain the ecosystem.

The system answers to the scene, not outside owners.

Common Trust for Music

Infrastructure designed to grow without being captured.
