Record the sample clearance once on a shared network so the derivative always pays its source. The Royalty Standard, Royalty Clearing, and Provenance Notary bind the derivative to the original, and the Subgraph Indexer tracks each stream.
Bind a sampled work to the song built on it so every stream pays both artists automatically.
01.
The clearance between the new artist and the sampled artist is recorded once. The Provenance Notary anchors the agreed share, so it never has to be renegotiated or manually tracked again.
02.
The Provenance Notary binds the derivative to the original work it samples. The link is part of the record, so a stream of the new song always knows which source it owes.
03.
The Royalty Standard splits each stream between the new artist and the sampled artist. Payment flows to both parties from the same play, without one waiting on the other.
04.
The Royalty Clearing module pays the source its agreed share alongside the new artist on every stream, so a missed payment to the sampled artist becomes impossible.
05.
The Subgraph Indexer tracks each stream of the derivative, giving the sampled artist a live view of the plays that are paying them their agreed share.
06.
A derivative can itself be sampled. The chain of obligations extends across generations, so a work built on a work built on a work still pays every source in the lineage.
Follow one sample from a recorded clearance through the release of the derivative to a per-stream payout that reaches both artists.

Cerulea decomposes derivative royalties into modular contracts. Each layer records the clearance, binds the lineage, meters streams, and clears a payout that reaches every source in the chain.
Derivative royalty chains are a horizontal capability. Here is how different creators put automatic source payment to work.
Clear a sample once and let every stream of the finished track pay the original artist their agreed share alongside the new one, ending the missed and delayed payments that plague sampling.
Key Asset Types
Let creators build on existing works legitimately, binding each remix to its sources so obligations flow automatically across a chain of derivatives no matter how deep it runs.
Key Asset Types
Track derivative creations that build on earlier ones, so when a piece is monetised every upstream author in its lineage receives their recorded share from the same event.
Key Asset Types
Whether you are bridging a label's clearance records or routing native artist agreements from a wallet, Cerulea binds every derivative to its source on one network.
For labels and publishers holding clearance archives. Existing sample agreements are translated into signed on-chain clearances and lineage edges through the API gateway.

Building a derivative royalty engine with one-time clearance, cross-generation lineage, and chained payouts from scratch requires specialised rights engineers and careful audit. Calculate your exact deployment speed using Cerulea.

The legacy timeline reflects music-rights infrastructure benchmarks. Modelling clearance terms, building a cross-generation lineage graph, and shipping chained multi-party payouts 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 clearance and lineage rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the royalty graph and indexer instantly.
