BUILDING TRUST THROUGH TRANSPARENCY
Our Delivery Methodology
We deliver production-ready label-specific royalty systems on dedicated AppChains. Our phased, audited approach ensures security, speed, and seamless integration with your existing label operations.
01
Discovery & Architecture Design
We conduct a deep-dive workshop to map your label's unique royalty logic, catalog structure, and payout workflows. The output is a detailed technical specification and architecture blueprint for your custom AppChain.

AppChain Development
Technical & Strategic FAQs
Answers to common technical and strategic questions for music labels and Web3 platforms considering a dedicated AppChain for royalties.
A standard AppChain for label-specific royalties deploys in 4-6 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for architecture and smart contract development, 1 week for audit preparation and testing, and 1-3 weeks for deployment and integration with your existing systems. Complex integrations (e.g., with legacy label databases) may extend this by 1-2 weeks.
