AMA with CEO: The Future of Music Royalties

Last week, our CEO Alex Rivera hosted a live AMA on Discord. Here are the highlights for those who missed it.

Q: How does Recordian ensure artists get paid fairly?

Alex: Unlike traditional streaming services that use a pro-rata model, we use a user-centric payment system. If you only listen to one artist, 100% of your subscription's royalty pool goes to that artist.

Q: When will the blockchain payments integration go live?

Alex: We are currently in beta testing with a select group of 500 artists. We expect a full rollout in Q2 2026. This will allow for instant payouts—literally seconds after a track is streamed.

"Our goal is to reduce the payment settlement time from 45 days to 45 seconds."
