The Challenge

Design a scalable and transparent system to reward artists fairly for their creative output. The goal was to replace outdated royalty models with a trustless, blockchain-based mechanism that tracks usage and distributes earnings automatically.

The Solution

We developed a decentralized platform powered by smart contracts on zkSync, optimized for high throughput and minimal transaction costs. The system tracks user interactions with music or content and triggers real-time compensation flows to the relevant artists.

To support this mechanism, we implemented a play-to-earn rewards model that distributes value proportionally based on actual engagement. The platform also includes an intuitive interface for creators to upload content, mint ownership tokens, and monitor their earnings.

Security audits, modular contract architecture, and a seamless Web3 onboarding experience were core to the solution, making the platform both robust and accessible for creators and listeners alike.
