Introduction

The SONGS Protocol establishes a public, transparent layer of truth for the entire music industry. It reshapes the value creation chain at its core—each individual track and its rightful owners—creating a new standard for ownership management and royalty distribution in music.

Operating on a public and verifiable infrastructure, the protocol ensures that all transactions, ownership transfers, and revenue distributions are immutable and auditable.

In this section, we will explore the technical foundations of the SONGS Protocol, detailing its smart contract architecture, on-chain metadata management, and mechanisms for ensuring trustless and automated royalty distribution.
