Justin '3LAU' Blau

Brought expertise from large NFT drops and platform token experiments to Audius partnerships, collaborating on token‑gated releases and monetization flows that tied artist content to on‑chain mechanics. Helped design and test workflows where ownership signals and token holdings could be used to grant access, distribute revenues or reward early supporters. Those collaborations translated into concrete feature requests and prototype integrations with Audius discovery and wallet flows. Advised on practical product implementations for token gating, secondary sale revenue splits and fan subscription mechanics, using prior experience launching tokenized music products. Participated in pilot releases that demonstrated how AUDIO or partner tokens could be used alongside NFTs to create hybrid monetization products. Such pilots influenced Audius engineering priorities and the roadmap for artist monetization toolsets. By operationalizing tokenized release mechanics in live campaigns and sharing measured outcomes with the Audius community and engineers, provided actionable data that the team used to refine staking incentives, access controls and payout logic. Those implemented prototypes and public case studies had a direct bearing on how Audius framed AUDIO utility for creators and fans.
