Original Works Community Call: Technical Overview and Round Table With The Protocol Team

Join the second Original Works Technical Community Call this week:

🗓 When: Wednesday, 15th January 2025

⏰ Time: 2 PM CET

This session is for developers, tech enthusiasts, and music innovators eager to explore Web3’s integration into the music supply chain. We’ll dive deep into the technology behind Original Works and explain how the protocol operates.

Gain early insights into OWEN V0.2, our open-source Oracle client tool. Discover how it enables music distributors and publishers to create immutable release records and audio fingerprints—laying the foundation for tokenized royalty flows.

We’ll also cover ERN (DDEX standard) ingestion, metadata mapping to protocol graph endpoints, and propose initial datasets for validator clients to expose on-chain.

If you’re passionate about the intersection of music and blockchain technology, this is your chance to engage directly with the Original Works technical team. Ask questions, share suggestions, and collaborate in shaping the future of music.

The floor will be open for questions and discussions—your input is vital as we refine the protocol.

Even if you can’t attend, RSVP to receive the session recording afterwards.

Let’s build the future of music together!

Collect Tahquitz by Erika Weitz

Tahquitz is part of the HOLY WATER series from artist Erika Weitz exploring the psychedelic analog liquid light shows from the 1960s, which are synonymous with the mystical counterculture spirit and acid culture. Water and oil repel each other on the surface but are contained within a greater whole, celebrating novel expressions of their differences to mimic the ebb and flow of the world around us.

During her residency at the ACE Hotel Palm Springs, Weitz spent significant time at the waterfall in Tahquitz Canyon. The desert serves as a constant reminder that water is not only necessary for life in the sweltering desert heat but also a sacred cleansing ritual. During this time, Weitz encountered multiple coiled snakes in the canyons. The symbolic representation of the coiled snake, or ouroboros, embodies the continuous life / death / life cycle, highlighting the regeneration that exists all around us and recalling the continual transformation of shedding the old to become anew.

TOKEN MIGRATION UPDATE

Crypto is a rapidly evolving industry, with tools advancing in efficiency and scalability everyday. It’s incredibly exciting, and it’s exactly why we proposed updating the FWB token ecosystem from ETH Mainnet to Base L2. As many of you know Uniswap is close to launching a more proven V4. After careful consideration, we are postponing opening the migration to align with the launch of Uniswap V4 in order to set the pair once. We’re targeting January 2025, exact date to come.
