Collab Chain

In the uncharted and often treacherous seas of music royalties, clarity is the ultimate treasure, and disputes are the hidden reefs that can sink a collaboration. Collab Chain is your expedition map and fortified vault, purpose-built for creators, producers, songwriters, and rights holders navigating this complex landscape. This platform transforms the fragmented, confusing documents from distributors, PROs, and publishers into a single, definitive source of truth—a digital ledger where every contribution is meticulously charted and every royalty split is verifiably locked. It doesn't guess, scrape, or handle payments; it focuses purely on the art of verification. By turning official statements into tamper-evident proof records, Collab Chain reduces disputes, builds unshakeable trust between collaborators, and provides the defensible evidence needed for negotiations, audits, and conflict resolution. For independent artists, labels, managers, and legal teams, it's the tool that turns speculative claims into indisputable fact, ensuring everyone on the creative journey gets their rightful share of the treasure.

Deterministic Proof Engine

Collab Chain is your master cartographer, transforming uploaded official statements into a permanent, verifiable record. The platform preserves your original file and generates a deterministic snapshot of the data. This means the proof can be re-calculated and verified at any time in the future against the original, creating an immutable, tamper-evident ledger that stands as indisputable evidence in any discussion or dispute.

Split Confirmation Compass

Navigate the critical task of assigning credits with absolute precision. The platform provides a clear, track-level view showing split status as Complete, Incomplete, or Not Set. You cannot finalize and lock a proof until every collaborator's percentage is confirmed and totals 100%, acting as an essential safeguard that prevents accidental omissions and ensures the map is fully drawn before the treasure is sealed away.

Secure Proof Sharing Portal

Share the riches of clarity without surrendering the keys to your kingdom. Generate secure, read-only verification links for collaborators, managers, or legal teams. Recipients can view the definitive proof summary and supporting evidence without needing an account or gaining any ability to edit your data. It's like providing a viewport into your secure vault without ever opening the door.

Hybrid Evidence Locker

When the official export map is unavailable, you can still document your journey. While official PDF or CSV statements form the core of verifiable proofs, Collab Chain allows you to upload dashboard screenshots as labeled Supporting Evidence. These are never parsed for calculations but are stored alongside the official data, clearly marked as supplemental context, ensuring a complete historical record of your claim.

The Independent Artist's Ledger

Solo artists and small teams can finally maintain a clear, organized, and defensible record of earnings and collaborator splits across all their releases. Instead of digging through emails and disparate statements, they build a centralized, verifiable archive that proves ownership and agreed-upon shares, turning chaotic paperwork into a trusted financial logbook for their career.

The Producer's Credit Vault

Producers can definitively document their contributions and percentage points without chasing down paperwork or relying on memory. By locking splits at the point of statement upload, they create an immutable record of their production credits, providing essential proof for future royalty collections, audit trails, and negotiations with artists or labels.

The Songwriter's Publishing Proof

Songwriters and publishers can securely map and verify writing splits and publishing shares across multiple collaborations and catalogs. Collab Chain provides the tamper-evident evidence needed to confirm ownership stakes, streamline royalty distributions among co-writers, and provide clear documentation for publishing administrators and collection societies.

The Manager's Roster Map

Managers and label executives can organize and reconcile statements across their entire roster from a single command center. They can efficiently verify internal accounting, generate shareable proof links to transparently report to artists, and provide consolidated, auditable evidence to legal teams or during label audits, saving immense time and building trust.

What kind of files does Collab Chain accept?

Collab Chain is built on the foundation of verifiable official documents. We accept PDF or CSV exports directly from distributors (like DistroKid), publishers, and Performing Rights Organizations (PROs). For situations where an official export is unavailable, you may upload PNG or JPG screenshots as "Supporting Evidence," but these are for context only and are clearly labeled as not being an official statement.

Does Collab Chain pull data directly from streaming platforms?

No. Collab Chain does not scrape, guess, or pull live data from any platform. We believe in proof, not estimation. You maintain control by uploading your own official statements. This ensures the record is based on the actual data reported to you, creating a deterministic and tamper-evident proof that can be verified against your original file.

Can collaborators edit a proof after I share a link with them?

Absolutely not. Shared proof links are strictly read-only. Recipients do not need an account to view them and have zero ability to edit, download original files, or alter any data within the proof. This allows you to share the verified conclusions—the treasure map—without ever giving away control of the vault or the original documents.

What happens if a platform doesn't provide a downloadable statement?

If an official export is blocked or unavailable, you can use the "Supporting Evidence" feature. Upload clear screenshots of the relevant dashboard data. These will be permanently attached to your proof record, marked as "Not an Official Statement," and displayed in a separate section in exports. This provides crucial context while maintaining transparency about the source's verifiability.
