Decentralized Music Royalty Distribution
Why Choose This Project?
Traditional music royalty systems are opaque, slow, and prone to disputes, causing delays and revenue loss for artists, producers, and contributors. This blockchain-based royalty distribution platform ensures transparent, automated, and verifiable royalty payments using smart contracts, giving artists fair compensation every time their music is streamed, sold, or licensed.
