Royalty Settlement Layer

Split the bundle.
Pay by the proof.

Automate the revenue split for bundled courses based on each instructor's share of verified student enrollment and engagement. Each creator's share is calculated from verified data and paid out automatically, with no manual monthly reconciliation.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn a manual monthly spreadsheet split into an on-chain royalty distribution driven by verified enrollment and engagement.

01.

Verified Engagement Feed

Base the split on real usage. Enrollment and engagement per course are recorded as verified data, so each instructor's share reflects actual student activity rather than an estimate.

02.

Royalty Standard

Encode each creator's entitlement. The Royalty Standard module defines how bundle revenue maps to instructors, turning a negotiated split into an on-chain rule the contract enforces every cycle.

03.

Automated Clearing

Distribute without a finance run. The Royalty Clearing module computes each share from the engagement feed and settles payouts automatically, removing the monthly manual calculation entirely.

04.

Wallet Authentication

Pay the right creator. The Wallet Authentication module ties each payout to an instructor's authenticated wallet, so revenue reaches the verified creator and not a mistyped account.

05.

Transparent Split Ledger

Show every creator the math. Each distribution records the engagement inputs and resulting shares, so an instructor can audit exactly why they received a given amount for a bundle.

06.

Dynamic Rebalancing

Follow shifting popularity. As enrollment and engagement change across a bundle, the split rebalances each cycle, so a course that gains traction earns a larger share automatically.

The Revenue Lifecycle

Follow a single bundle's revenue from student purchases through engagement measurement to automatic instructor payouts.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes revenue sharing into modular contracts. Each layer accrues revenue, tallies engagement, computes entitlements, and settles payouts without a manual monthly calculation.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Automated revenue sharing is a horizontal capability. Here is how different creator platforms put the royalty engine to work.

Online Course Platforms

Distribute bundle revenue to instructors by verified engagement every cycle, eliminating manual monthly reconciliation and disputes over how a package's earnings were split.

Creator Collectives

Let independent educators co-publish packages with a transparent, self-executing split, so each contributor is paid fairly for their share of student activity without a central bookkeeper.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging a platform's billing and analytics backend or settling directly to creator wallets, Cerulea routes both into one royalty clearing record.

Track A: Platform Analytics Bridging

For platforms with existing billing and engagement analytics. Revenue and engagement feeds are translated into on-chain accrual and tally calls through the API gateway automatically.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects payments-platform integration benchmarks. Writing royalty entitlement logic, wiring verified engagement into a split engine, and shipping automated multi-wallet settlement for an average platform takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your royalty and split rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the clearing ledger and settlement layer instantly.
