The next phase of development focuses on completing the monetization features, refining the UI/UX for both curators and listeners, and integrating the platform with Livepeer Studio for live audio streaming. The $12,000 grant will be used for development costs (smart contracts, frontend, integration), testing, infrastructure, marketing, and operational expenses. These efforts will bring the project to a beta version within six months, ensuring a fully functional platform ready for public use and further community involvement.
