Back Emerging Bands.
The price follows the fund.
BandCoins lets fans directly fund indie artists starting at $1. Fans get a verified early-backer spot. A buy raises the coin price and a sell lowers it. The price does not go below $2.00. Bands keep 100% master ownership.
100% MASTER RIGHTS
Turn Every Show
Into A Growth Engine.
BandCoins empowers indie bands to raise upfront capital and mobilize high-tech NFC street teams. Also white-labeled by record labels to activate roster superfans in every city.
Create Your Coin
Instantly launch your band's coin (e.g. $ECHO) with a transparent 50/50 partnership structure for your fanbase.
Tap In at the Show
Equip merch tables, show posters, and vinyl with one-tap NFC tech. Fans tap their phone to buy and back the band in under 60 seconds.
The 50/50 Split
A 5% fee is added on top. Half of the coin amount goes to the band. Half enters the coin fund.

How BandCoins Works
Turn live show excitement into long-term band capital. Fans keep a public record of when they backed the band.
Show Floor Capital
Fans scan QR codes at the merch table or tap NFC badges to back with Apple Pay or credit card. A 5% fee is added on top. Half of the coin amount goes to the band, available after 30 days. Half enters the coin fund.
Hold Your Spot (#1–100)
Back early to lock in your immutable spot number and prove you discovered the band before the rest of the world. Unlock exclusive backstage audio, private soundchecks, and guestlist privileges.
Price and sell-backs
Ten percent of other band income can enter the coin fund. A buy raises that price and a sell lowers it. The price does not go below $2.00. Sell-backs queue for the day and fill pro-rata under the cap. Bought-back coins return to the available fan pool.
Why BandCoin
Built Different From Day One.
This isn't a tip jar or a storefront. BandCoin gives your fans real skin in the game.
Superfan Partnership, Not Monthly Subscriptions
Patreon is a monthly tip jar. On BandCoins, ten percent of royalty income can enter the coin fund. No coins move on that income.
Thriving Community + Built-In Distribution
Bandcamp is just a static store. BandCoin is an active fan-backed community, and fans stream the tracks a band uploads on the band page. Don't build on a dying storefront.
Proof of Backing, Not Invisible Tips
Venmo tips vanish invisibly. BandCoin turns that $20 show tip into a verified backer pass, permanent provenance spot, and a badge of honor: "I backed them first."
