How it works
Inside a royalty contract.
One contract per work: it holds the split sheet and pays everyone by the rule you agreed.
Anatomy
Sources pay the contract; the contract credits every balance; everyone withdraws on their own schedule.

Continuous or interval release
Split every second, or hold inflows and release them on a schedule.
Continuous
- Balances move every second
- Best for streams and frequent sales
- More, smaller transactions
Daily or weekly
- Inflows wait in a held balance
- Anyone can trigger a release early
- Fewer transactions, lower fees
Precision: integer math and rounding dust
Amounts are whole micro-units (1 tUSDC = 1,000,000). Shares round down; the remainder is dust.
Example: 4.100001 tUSDC split 35 / 25 / 20 / 10 / 10
| Noor · 35% | 1.435000 |
|---|---|
| Théo · 25% | 1.025000 |
| Ama · 20% | 0.820000 |
| Rui · 10% | 0.410000 |
| Treasury · 10% + dust | 0.410001 |
| Total | 4.100001 |
Bonus rules
Past a play threshold, one collaborator gains points; everyone else gives up a pro-rata slice.

Changes need every signature
Anyone can propose new shares. Nothing changes until every collaborator signs; one decline keeps the current split.

Straight answers.
Is this real money?
No. This is a testnet demo with simulated tUSDC and a simulated wallet. Nothing you do here moves real funds.
Do my collaborators need to do anything?
Only share a wallet address. They can watch their balance and withdraw whenever they want; they only sign again if someone proposes a change.
What happens to fractions of a cent?
Shares are computed in whole micro-units. Any remainder goes to the work's treasury recipient and shows up in the ledger, so totals always reconcile.
Can a split change after release?
Yes, if every current collaborator signs the amendment. It applies from that second on; past earnings never move.
Continuous or weekly: which should I pick?
Continuous if you want everyone to see money land live. Weekly if inflows are tiny and you'd rather batch network fees.
See it move.
