At XECHO, we take a unique approach to safeguarding artists’ and authors’ rights, distinguishing ourselves from traditional third-party platforms. Here’s how we address these concerns:
Blockchain-Based Ownership
We stream music directly from the blockchain, meaning that every track uploaded to XECHO is linked to a verifiable, immutable proof of ownership. Artists can tokenize their tracks using NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), which act as digital certificates of ownership. In the event of a dispute, these certificates offer a clear, traceable record of ownership on the blockchain, providing transparency and security.
Smart Contracts for Rights Management
We employ smart contracts to manage the rights associated with each track. These automated contracts ensure that all collaborators are credited and paid according to pre-set agreements. This eliminates human error, guarantees that royalties are distributed fairly, and protects your author rights at all times.
Secure IPFS Storage with Pinata Cloud
XECHO uses Pinata Cloud to securely store music files on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). This decentralized storage system ensures that your content remains protected from unauthorized alterations, while the ownership details are securely embedded in the blockchain, providing an additional layer of security.
Author Rights Certification Integration
For artists with official author rights certificates, such as those from SACEM, XECHO easily integrates this proof into the metadata of your tracks. This simplifies dispute resolution, ensuring that your work remains under your control and your rights are upheld.
By combining blockchain technology, NFTs, smart contracts, and decentralized storage, XECHO offers a transparent and secure way to protect your author rights. Our platform minimizes the risk of misidentification and ownership disputes, ensuring that your work is always recognized and rewarded.
