Livepeer provides the infrastructure for decentralized AV streaming, but we believe in the added value of 'audio-only' streams for several reasons, including:\n\n- **Bandwidth:** Audio streams require significantly less bandwidth.\n- **Transcoding Costs:** Audio-only streams reduce transcoding expenses.\n- **Anonymity:** Audio streams can help maintain user anonymity.\n- **Multitasking:** Audio content allows listeners to engage while multitasking.\n\nWebradios have never ceased to exist. In fact, since COVID-19, the number of community radios at the school and university level has significantly increased, leading to the creation of networks of coordinated webradios across Europe.\n\nRadio SpaghettETH aims to create a truly decentralized and self-sustaining community radio and broadcasting system.

The main features:\n\n1. Anyone can listen_ no web3 UX needed\n2. ZuPass gated_ Only Zupass verified users  will be able to curate the radio and create content.  In alternative, we will gate it to SpaghettETH Passport SBT owners, a new community/educational initiative we're launching for the ETH Italian 2024 Fall conference season.\n3. On-chain calendar_ Curators can book their on-air slots directly on-chain\n4. Dynamic Player_ Every block.timestamp, the player calls the RadioCalendar.sol contract to fetch a different livestream url\n5. Integration with Livepeer Studio _ Curators will have a basic UI to stream live audio from whatever device, given that they can use any external DAW or podcast software\n6. Monetization _ external sponsors will be able to bid for calendar slots for their brand to be visible during the livestream\n7. Split earnings _ curators can setup different beneficiaries from the sponsorship opportunities\n\nAt present, a mockup with features 1 to 4 has been created.\nWe are looking for further funding to build the rest into a testable beta version.\n\n### Financial Breakdown and Project Shipment\n\n#### Financial Breakdown\n\nTo complete the development and launch of the beta version of Radio SpaghettETH, we are looking for a total of $8,000. The following is a detailed breakdown of how the funds will be allocated:\n\n1. **Development Costs** - $6,000\n   - **Smart Contract Development** - $2,000\n     - Refinement of RadioCalendar.sol and integration with Dynamic Player\n     - Development of on-chain calendar booking system\n     - Implementation of monetization features and split earnings system\n   - **Frontend Development** - $2,000\n     - Enhancement of UI/UX for curators and listeners\n     - Integration of token-curated content creation tools\n   - **Integration Development** - $2,000\n     - Integration with Livepeer Studio for live audio streaming\n\n2. **Infrastructure and Hosting** - $500\n   - Livepeer Orchestrator costs for decentralized streaming fees\n\n4. **Marketing and Outreach** - $1,000\n   - Community engagement and outreach campaigns\n   - Partnerships with event organizers and sponsors\n   - Promotional materials and advertisements\n\n5. **Operational Costs** - $500\n   - Administrative expenses\n   - Legal and compliance costs\n\n#### Project Shipment Plan\n\nThe following timeline outlines our plan to deliver the beta version of Radio SpaghettETH within six months of receiving the grant:\n\n1. **Month 1-2: Development Phase**\n   - Finalize smart contract development for RadioCalendar.sol and Dynamic Player integration.\n   - Develop frontend UI/UX enhancements and token-curated content creation tools.\n   - Integrate backend with Livepeer Studio for seamless live audio streaming.\n\n2. **Month 3: Internal Testing**\n   - Conduct thorough internal testing of all developed features.\n   - Identify and fix bugs, optimize performance.\n\n3. **Month 4: Beta Testing**\n   - Launch beta testing phase with selected users from our community.\n   - Gather feedback and make necessary adjustments.\n\n4. **Month 5: Marketing and Outreach**\n   - Initiate marketing campaigns to promote the beta version.\n   - Engage with potential sponsors and partners for monetization opportunities.\n\n5. **Month 6: Final Adjustments and Launch**\n   - Implement final adjustments based on beta testing feedback.\n   - Officially launch the beta version of Radio SpaghettETH as a public good.\n\nBy following this plan, we aim to deliver a robust, decentralized webradio platform that empowers our community and offers a new, innovative way to engage with web3 content.
