Register rights and route royalties on a shared music registry instead of waiting months across fragmented databases. ERC-721 NFTs and the Royalty Standard and Royalty Clearing modules hold ownership and splits, and Payouts and Settlements distribute on consumption.
Collapse a months-long royalty pipeline into a shared registry that pays every rights holder on consumption.
01.
An ERC-721 NFT represents ownership of a song's rights. The token holds the definitive record of who owns a share, so fragmented registries no longer breed conflicting ownership claims.
02.
The Royalty Standard stores each co-writer and producer share at registration. The proportions set the day a song is registered are the proportions every payout obeys.
03.
Payouts and Settlements distribute royalties as the song is consumed, so an artist is paid on streams within days rather than waiting months or years for a statement.
04.
The registry exposes every rights holder for a track. A platform no longer struggles to identify who to pay, because the split and the owners are published together.
05.
Payment routes directly from consumption to each rights holder. An independent artist keeps their share without a label sitting between the stream and the payout.
06.
Ownership transfers and split changes are anchored on-chain. A dispute over who held a right at a given time is settled against the token's history, not a paper archive.
Follow one song from rights registration through millions of streams to a seven-day split across every co-writer and producer.

Cerulea decomposes music rights into modular contracts. Each layer tokenises ownership, registers the split, accrues consumption, and settles every holder without a label sitting in the middle.
On-chain music rights is a horizontal capability. Here is how different parts of the industry put a shared registry to work.
Register a song and its splits directly, so streams settle across co-writers and producers within days in the exact proportions agreed at registration, with no label sitting between the play and the payout.
Key Asset Types
Replace fragmented registries with one shared record of ownership, so every rights holder is identifiable and every distribution is computed from a single, disputable-proof split ledger.
Key Asset Types
Read the registry to identify exactly who to pay for every track, then settle on consumption instead of running slow, error-prone monthly reconciliations against outside databases.
Key Asset Types
Whether you are bridging a publisher's rights database or routing native artist registrations from a wallet, Cerulea holds both on one music registry.
For publishers and societies on legacy databases. Existing ownership and split records are translated into signed on-chain rights tokens through the API gateway.

Building a music rights registry with tokenised ownership, registered splits, and consumption-based settlement from scratch requires specialised rights and payments engineers. Calculate your exact deployment speed using Cerulea.

The legacy timeline reflects music-rights infrastructure benchmarks. Reconciling fragmented registries, building split and ownership logic, and shipping consumption-based settlement 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 ownership and split rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the music registry and settlement layer instantly.
