Alexandria Library, a decentralised publishing platform built on the Internet Computer blockchain, has offered an early look at its new audio-first app. The project, briefly previewed on X, hints at an experience that blends familiar streaming features with tradable audio files, while keeping the platform’s book-centred identity in view.
The team described the app as a kind of “d-Spotify”, pairing a clean discovery layout with tools for browsing, recording and minting audio stored on Arweave. A screenshot shared online shows the interface under the name Sonora, complete with an option to turn audio into NFTs and access files pulled from permanent storage.
Alexandria Library has gained attention for positioning itself as an alternative to traditional digital publishing. Its model is built around creator ownership, open-source tools and token revenue returning to stakers rather than a central operator. Alongside this, the project has been developing infrastructure for on-chain media, DAO creation and cross-chain compatibility with Ethereum, Solana and Arweave.
The preview of Sonora suggests the team wants to expand its ecosystem without losing its focus on long-form content. Early supporters say the idea of tradable audio files could appeal to users who want more control than standard streaming platforms offer, though it also raises questions about licensing and how creators will manage rights on a decentralised network. Others note that audio markets are crowded, and the success of any new platform will depend heavily on catalogue depth and user experience.
Alexandria’s message about “getting back to our roots” points to a desire to streamline the project after months of rapid expansion across different tools and integrations. The audio app appears to be pitched as an extension of its library rather than a separate entertainment product.
More details are expected as the team moves closer to a public release, including how trading will work, how creators will be compensated and how the app fits into Alexandria Library’s wider publishing roadmap.
