Collab Chain is a royalty verification platform that turns uploaded official statements into tamper-evident proof records for music credits and earnings, enabling secure sharing and split confirmation without live DSP data.
What is Collab Chain?
Collab Chain is a royalty verification and collaboration proof platform for creators, producers, songwriters, and rights holders. It takes official royalty statements (PDF/CSV exports from distributors, publishers, and PROs) and produces deterministic, tamper-evident proof records with track-level split status. The platform runs on the web and is built by the Collab Chain team (collab-chain.app).
Key Features
- Deterministic proof from official statements — Upload PDF/CSV exports from DistroKid, SoundExchange, Apple Music, Spotify for Artists, and other distributors/PROs; the original file is preserved and a verifiable snapshot is generated.
- Split confirmation with clear status indicators — Track-level splits display Complete, Incomplete, or Not Set; finalization is blocked until all splits total 100%.
- Read-only proof sharing — Generate secure links that collaborators, managers, or legal teams can view without needing an account or edit access.
- Supporting evidence for blocked exports — Add PNG/JPG screenshots (up to 10MB) labeled “Not an Official Statement” and marked “Added After Finalization” when official exports are unavailable; screenshots are never parsed or used in calculations.
- Transactional rollback on finalization — Server-side validation confirms statement status, ledger entries, and split completeness; if any step fails the entire record is rolled back to prevent partial data.
- Export and download options — Download a proof PDF or export bundle that includes the proof summary, track details, and supporting evidence in clearly labeled sections.
- Free tier with measurable limits — The Free plan includes 3 verifiable proofs, 5 statements, and 10 verification checks; paid plans (Creator $190/yr, Pro $490/yr, Enterprise custom) expand proofs, statements, tracks, and import features.
Who is it for?
- Artists — Maintain a clear record of earnings and collaborator splits across releases without relying on live DSP data.
- Producers — Document production credits and percentage splits without chasing paperwork or negotiating after the fact.
- Songwriters — Keep verifiable records of writing splits and publishing shares for future royalty audits.
- Managers and label ops — Organize statements across a roster and share proof links with stakeholders for transparency and dispute resolution.
- Attorneys and accountants — Access clear, deterministic records for royalty reconciliation and legal or financial disputes.
What can you do with Collab Chain?
- Upload an official statement — Add royalty exports from distributors, publishers, or PROs. If a platform blocks exports, attach screenshots as supporting evidence (clearly labeled as unofficial).
- Review and confirm splits — Map columns to standard fields, preview parsed data, assign collaborators with percentages, and ensure every track’s splits total 100%.
- Finalize and lock the proof — Server-side validation confirms statement status, ledger entries, and split completeness; transactional rollback prevents partial records.
- Export and share — Download a proof PDF or export bundle, then share a secure read-only link that requires no account to view.
How does Collab Chain work?
The platform follows a four-step workflow: upload an official statement (PDF/CSV), review parsed tracks and confirm splits (must total 100%), finalize and lock the proof (with server-side validation and rollback), then export a PDF or share a read-only verification link. No scraping, estimation, or payment handling is involved.
