At XECHO, we take a unique approach to safeguarding artists’ and authors’ rights—one that goes beyond traditional streaming platforms. Our system combines blockchain ownership, smart contracts, and decentralized storage with a user-friendly infrastructure powered by Supabase. Here’s how it works:
1. Blockchain-Based Ownership & Author Rights Protection #
Every track uploaded to XECHO is linked to a verifiable, immutable proof of ownership on the blockchain. Artists can tokenize their music using DOTs (Digital Ownership Tokens)—a framework developed by XDRIP Digital Management LLC—which serve as digital certificates of authenticity. This ensures that any rights dispute can be easily traced and verified.
2. Smart Contracts for Rights Management #
We use smart contracts to automate rights and revenue distribution. These contracts:
- Guarantee collaborators are credited and paid based on agreed terms.
- Remove reliance on intermediaries or manual processing.
- Ensure artists maintain full control of their author rights while minimizing errors and disputes.
3. Supabase + IPFS: A Hybrid Architecture #
XECHO leverages a hybrid approach, combining the flexibility of Supabase with the decentralization of IPFS:
- Decentralized File Storage (IPFS)
Your music files are distributed across a peer-to-peer network, ensuring they are tamper-resistant, censorship-proof, and not dependent on a single server. - Ownership Anchored on Blockchain
File integrity and provenance are permanently recorded on-chain, meaning your work always carries an immutable proof of authorship. - Supabase for Seamless User Experience
Supabase powers critical app features such as authentication, database management, and real-time interactions. This ensures XECHO remains responsive, scalable, and user-friendly. - Best of Both Worlds
By combining Supabase’s developer-friendly environment with IPFS’s decentralized storage, we achieve the perfect balance: fast, secure, and accessible streaming while preserving true decentralized ownership.
4. Certification Integration #
Already hold official author rights certificates (e.g., SACEM)? XECHO can embed this proof directly into your track’s metadata, reinforcing ownership and simplifying future disputes.
5. Artist Analytics & Transparent Payouts #
- Real-Time Analytics → Track streams, audiences, and performance metrics with our analytics dashboard.
- Transparent Royalties → Smart contracts ensure instant, traceable payouts so you always know when and how you’re earning.
6. User Rights & Security #
- Data Protection → Supabase enables secure authentication and encrypted data handling, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
- Usage Rights → Artists maintain full control of their content. Streaming, sharing, and embedding are permitted only under the conditions the artist defines.
Our Vision #
By combining DOTs, blockchain verification, Supabase-powered operations, and IPFS decentralized storage, XECHO delivers a system that conventional platforms cannot. Artists gain real ownership, transparent revenue flows, and protection against misattribution or misuse—from the moment their music is published.
At XECHO, your work is always recognized as yours, empowering you with control, speed, and security in every note shared.
