Collab Chain

About Collab Chain

Collab Chain is a robust royalty verification and collaboration proof platform designed specifically for creators, producers, songwriters, and rights holders. It offers a solution to the common challenges faced in the music industry regarding ownership clarity and trust. By allowing users to upload royalty statements, splits, or credit documents from distributors, PROs, or publishers, Collab Chain efficiently parses and normalizes this data. The result is a clear, structured record that serves as verifiable proof of contribution and royalty entitlement. This platform aims to reduce disputes, foster transparency among collaborators, and establish a single source of truth for ownership histories. It acts as a secure credit locker that users can reference during negotiations, audits, or conflict resolutions. Collab Chain is not a distributor or marketplace, but rather a dedicated tool for verification and documentation, making it invaluable for independent artists, labels, managers, and legal teams seeking clean, defensible records.

Features of Collab Chain

Verifiable Royalty Proof

Collab Chain transforms official royalty statements into tamper-evident proof records. Users can confirm splits, lock proofs, and share read-only verification links confidently, ensuring their contributions are accurately represented.

Detailed Split Confirmation

The platform provides track-level split status that visually indicates whether splits are Complete, Incomplete, or Not Set. This clarity helps prevent accidental omissions, ensuring that all contributions are accounted for before finalization.

Secure Document Sharing

Users can generate secure, read-only links for collaborators, managers, or legal teams. This allows recipients to view proof summaries without needing access to the user’s account, maintaining privacy while facilitating collaboration.

Comprehensive Data Management

Collab Chain accepts various official exports, including PDF and CSV files from distributors and PROs. Additionally, users can supplement their documentation with supporting evidence like screenshots when official exports are unavailable, enhancing context without compromising data integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Collab Chain ensure data security?

Collab Chain preserves your original files and does not scrape platforms for data. All proofs generated are deterministic and tamper-evident, ensuring that your data remains secure and accurate.

What types of documents can I upload?

You can upload official royalty statements in PDF or CSV format from distributors, publishers, and PROs. Additionally, you can include screenshots as supporting evidence when official exports are unavailable.

Can I share proof without giving access to my account?

Yes, Collab Chain allows you to generate secure, read-only links. These links enable collaborators, managers, or legal teams to view the proof summary without accessing your account or making any edits.

What happens if I need to change a split after finalization?

Once a proof is finalized, it undergoes server-side validation to ensure accuracy. If any changes are required, you would need to create a new proof to maintain a clear and accurate record of splits and contributions.
