🚀 Quick Start – What is Allfeat?

Allfeat is a public, decentralized, and transparent metadata database with a strong social consensus to certify them.

It enables industry to register, verify, and protect essential metadata in a shared, tamper-proof, and accessible system.

🧠 A Shared Foundation for Music Metadata

Allfeat focuses on storing and validating level-1 metadata – the kind that is public, objective, and easily verifiable.

Examples include:

  • Song and recording titles
  • Performer and contributor names
  • Standard identifiers (ISWC, ISRC, IPI, ISNI...)
  • Public metadata for releases and catalog entries
  • Time-stamped proof of existence (via Allstamp)

The result is a common reference point that everyone in the industry can access and rely on, from creation to distribution and beyond.

📦 MIDDS: Structured Metadata for the Music Industry

At the heart of Allfeat are MIDDS — Music Industry Decentralized Data Structures.

These are standardized metadata objects designed to describe:

  • Parties industry (performers, composers, editor, distributors, artists...)
  • Songs (musical works)
  • Tracks (recordings)
  • Releases (albums, singles)

MIDDS link together to form a complete and searchable map of music metadata.
They can be created, edited, and certified by the community.

⚙️ How It Works: Dual Consensus

Allfeat combines two consensus layers to ensure both technical reliability and metadata quality.

✅ Network Layer – Proof of Authority (PoA)

  • Maintains the infrastructure and ensures secure operations
  • Managed by a limited set of trusted validators
  • Efficient and stable — ideal for a professional-grade registry

🧩 Social Layer – Proof of Metadata (PoM)

  • Handles the submission and certification of metadata (MIDDS)
  • Anyone can submit a MIDDS by locking a small amount of AFT tokens as collateral
  • Trusted participants (Trusters) review and certify metadata through voting
  • A challenge period allows community review before final acceptance
  • Rewards come from a pre-funded pool, based on verified contributions

This system ensures metadata is reliable, community-validated, and resistant to abuse.

👥 Who Is It For?

Allfeat is designed for:

  • Creators and professionals who want to register and protect their metadata
  • Music industry organizations managing catalogs and identifiers
  • Developers and platforms building tools, apps, or services around trusted metadata
  • Verifiers (Trusters) who help ensure data quality and earn reputation over time

🌐 Built for Transparency

Allfeat is:

  • Open – anyone can consult or contribute metadata
  • Durable – once verified, metadata cannot be removed
  • Interoperable – easy to connect with external systems
  • Transparent – every action is traceable and accountable

There are no hidden databases. Allfeat is a public metadata layer for the entire music ecosystem.
