FROM THE FIRST PLAY
Built around the music.\u200b
A community can start the market. Only the artist can claim their creator profile.
02
Launch the market
Create a Solana market connected to that artist.
03
Fees accumulate
Creator fees are allocated to the underlying artist.
04
Artist claims
The artist verifies their SoundCloud identity, connects a wallet and claims eligible earnings.
THE PRINCIPLE IS SIMPLE
Creator fees have
one destination.
100% of app-level creator fees belong to the artist. Use Sound takes no share of creator fees.
On Pump markets, fees accumulate in real on-chain vaults. Use Sound holds the claim authority and authorizes withdrawals to the artist’s verified wallet. This is custodial; it is not a trustless escrow. A designated owner wallet can approve emergency recovery into operator custody, recorded separately from artist payouts. Recovered funds remain allocated to the artist.
Launch an artist marketCommunity-created ≠ artist-endorsed.
Anyone can start a market. Artist verification confirms account ownership; it never automatically endorses a token.
Unclaimed doesn’t mean unallocated.
Fees belong to the canonical SoundCloud creator, even before the artist connects a wallet.
Every cost has a name.
Network rent and third-party protocol fees are separate from creator fees. They are disclosed before signing.
Development mode is explicit.
Demo records are fictional. Devnet uses test funds; mainnet uses real SOL. Each launch and transaction shows its network before signing.
