Web3 Record Label Platform flyer: Own your music. Share the upside.

About this gig

You can run your own label without signing away your masters, and your fans can share in what they help you build.

I build self-custodial record label platforms for independent artists: an artist website that sells releases, merch and limited fan editions directly, with royalty splits between collaborators written into a smart contract and paid automatically. Fans can sign in with email and pay by card or USDC, so nobody needs a crypto wallet to support you.

What you get:

An artist website with a music player, release pages and a mailing list
Fan editions with perks: early access, stems, backstage content, tickets
On-chain royalty splits between artists, producers and the label
Email login and card or USDC checkout for fans
A dashboard showing sales, holders and payouts

I contribute to MusicStrk, an open-source self-custodial record label factory on Starknet, and I've partnered with Big Inc on a self-custodial label model for indie artists. I've written five proposals on web3 labels and artist websites.

Tell me about your music, your collaborators and what you want fans to be able to do.

Questions, answered

Do my fans need crypto wallets?

No. Fans sign in with email and pay by card or USDC. A wallet is created for them in the background.

Which chain do you use?

Starknet for low fees, the chain MusicStrk is built on, or an EVM chain such as Base if your audience is already there.

Who owns the code and accounts when we finish?

You do. Code goes to your repository, and services run on accounts in your name, so you are never locked to me. I hand over logins, keys and a short guide.

What if my project doesn't fit a package?

Send a message describing what you need. I reply with a custom offer priced to the actual scope, often after a short call.
