Anchor the original song rights on a shared network so a cover is matched to its songwriter automatically. The Royalty Standard, Royalty Clearing, Provenance Notary, and DID and VC Ledger route mechanical royalties to the verified rights holders in any territory.
Replace a cross-territory licensing maze with an automatic match between a cover and the songwriter it owes.
01.
The Provenance Notary anchors each original song's rights on a shared network. A cover has a definitive record to match against instead of a scattered publisher database.
02.
When an artist records a cover, the contract matches it to the anchored original and identifies the songwriter automatically, clearing the manual search that usually stalls a licence.
03.
The DID and VC Ledger verifies each rights holder's identity, so mechanical royalties reach the real songwriter and publisher rather than an outdated contact.
04.
The Royalty Standard routes mechanical royalties to the right holders regardless of territory, so a cover recorded in one country still pays a songwriter in another.
05.
The Royalty Clearing module pays the mechanical royalty on each use, so the obligation a cover creates is settled automatically rather than tracked by hand.
06.
The match, the licence, and each payment are anchored on-chain, giving the covering artist and the songwriter a verifiable record that the mechanical was cleared.
Follow one cover from an anchored original through an automatic songwriter match to a mechanical royalty routed across territory.

Cerulea decomposes mechanical licensing into modular contracts. Each layer anchors the original, matches the cover, grants the licence, and routes royalties to a verified songwriter in any territory.
Mechanical royalty automation is a horizontal capability. Here is how different parts of the industry put automatic matching to work.
Record a cover and be matched to the original songwriter automatically, clearing the mechanical licence and paying the right holder without navigating a maze of publishers and territories.
Key Asset Types
Anchor original rights once and receive mechanical royalties whenever a cover is recorded, with verified identity ensuring payment reaches the real holder rather than an outdated contact.
Key Asset Types
Resolve cover licensing against one shared record instead of chasing publishers across borders, settling mechanicals automatically and holding a provable trail for every grant.
Key Asset Types
Whether you are bridging a publisher's rights database or routing native artist registrations from a wallet, Cerulea matches and settles every cover on one network.
For publishers and licensing bodies on legacy databases. Existing original rights are translated into anchored on-chain records through the API gateway automatically.

The legacy timeline reflects music-licensing infrastructure benchmarks. Modelling mechanical rates, wiring cross-territory publisher lookups, and building a verifiable licensing trail for an average catalog takes a baseline of 9 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your matching and mechanical rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the mechanical registry and identity ledger instantly.
