The Proof Of Sound ™ is a protocol in which the creator proves to the listener, or verifier, that a specific audio sequence has been generated. Listeners use their cell phone’s microphone to verify either pre-uploaded audio files or live audio.  In the most basic form, one side plays the audio and the other side confirms it has been played. Each verification results in an NFT minted directly to the listener. 

The protocol, invented by producer/engineer Daniel ‘Draydel’ Sado, was designed with the intention to connect creators and fans directly. The incentive directive makes the protocol just as useful to creators and businesses alike, who want to reach their market and grow their audience.  

The “proof of sound” works to deter denial-of-service attacks and other forms of service abuse such as spam on a network. The audio, once verified, cannot be reproduced, therefore rendering the network secure.
