Game Mechanics

How SoundDraft Works

Turn your music taste into a competitive skill. Draft artists, earn from their growth, and climb the leaderboards.

01

Build your roster

Artists are grouped into tiers based on reach and momentum. Lower tiers are riskier but offer bigger potential growth.

  • Start with 1,000 credits to draft your first artists
  • Choose from Discovery to Icon tier artists
  • Maximum 10 artists per roster

Be recognized as a top contributor

SoundDraft tracks more than just wins. Long-term contributors may opt in to the Community Recognition Program, where Participation Weight reflects relative participation based on skill, referrals, and consistency.

Participation Weight is an internal, non-financial metric and does not represent ownership, entitlement, or guaranteed value.

Participation Weight is tracked only for users who opt in to the Community Recognition Program and begins from the time of opt-in.

Community Recognition Program

Optional, discretionary acknowledgment for long-term participation

SoundDraft includes an optional Community Recognition Program designed to acknowledge meaningful, long-term participation on the platform.

If SoundDraft completes a qualifying liquidity event, SoundDraft may, at its sole and absolute discretion, choose to provide one-time community recognition, which may include allocating a portion of net cash proceeds to a discretionary Community Recognition Pool.

This program does not grant equity or ownership, does not constitute an investment, and does not guarantee any payment or value.

Community Recognition is optional, discretionary, and governed by separate terms. It does not create an expectation of profit or financial return.
