How Smart Contracts Are Automating Music Royalties

Episode 30 of Crypto Tech with Fexingo dives into how blockchain and smart contracts are fixing the broken music royalty system. Lucas and Luna break down the specific case of Web3 platform Royalty Exchange, which uses smart contracts to automatically split streaming revenue among songwriters, producers, and performers in real time — no middlemen, no quarterly statements. They discuss how this model solves the decades-old problem of delayed and opaque payments, using data from a recent pilot with independent artists on Audius. The hosts also touch on how major labels are starting to experiment with similar on-chain royalty pools, and what that means for the future of music licensing. With Bitcoin down 13.7% in the past five days and the broader crypto market selling off, this episode focuses on a real-world use case that is actually working today. #SmartContracts #MusicRoyalties #Blockchain #RoyaltyExchange #Audius #Web3 #DecentralizedTech #CryptoTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #SmartContractAutomation #MusicIndustry #StreamingRevenue #IndependentArtists #RealWorldUseCase #OnChainPayments #CryptoAdoption Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
