A Beginner’s Guide to Wavlake: Empowering Artists with Bitcoin and Open Protocols

Wavlake is a new way for musicians and podcasters looking to share their work with the world while earning bitcoin directly from fans.

Unlike traditional platforms, Wavlake leverages open protocols like Podcasting 2.0 (RSS) and Nostr, making your music or podcast accessible from any compatible app, anywhere.

Get it on Google Play or the Apple Store.

Plus, every track you publish can receive bitcoin micropayments via the Lightning Network. Just click Boost and send sats to pay your favorite artists directly.

This means your content is free to access globally, but you can earn from listeners worldwide, no middleman required.

Whether you’re a fan or an artist, Wavlake.com and its apps are the perfect starting point.

Explore new artists, Top 40, Music Shows, Podcasts and more.

Fans can also explore Wavlake’s content on Podcasting 2.0 apps like Fountain or Podverse, which support seamless listening and tipping.
