Digital ticket stubs that pay songwriters.
Smart contracts split live and streaming revenue at the source, so the people who wrote the song get paid faster and get paid more.

Did you know only 3% of ticket revenue from a live performance goes to the songwriters?
Songwriter Population
As much as 70% of songwriters have left cities like New York and Nashville, where rent is high and a livable songwriting wage is rare.
The Wait for Money
By the time PROs sort through money and metadata, songwriters see their money some nine months later.
Too Many Cooks
Songwriters are last in line behind artists, labels, promoters, and publishers — left with crumbs of the music pie.
Percent of Ticket Revenue
Only up to 3% of the revenue from a live performance ever reaches the people who wrote the songs being played.
Fan Knowledge
In pop, country, and hip-hop, many fans don't realize the artist on stage didn't write the song — deflating the writer's value.
Live Performance Tracking
The onus is on the songwriter to submit setlists whenever an artist performs their song. Miss one, lose the money.
Antiquated Copyright Law
Roosevelt called for copyright reform in 1905. U.S. copyright law has been meaningfully revised only once since.
Low Self Esteem
Writers are told to be grateful for the cut, even though they processed the emotion, told the story, and found the words.
HOW IT WORKS.
Fans Collect the Stub
Every show mints a collectible digital ticket stub — proof you were there, and the receipt that starts the payout.
Setlist Meets Smart Contract
The setlist is registered on-chain, so every song played maps to its writers automatically. No paperwork, no missing metadata.
Money Moves Immediately
The contract executes and songwriters get paid directly. Seconds instead of the industry's nine-month wait.

SangCash Launch Party
The only little beach in landlocked Nashville.
We launched the idea where it matters most — in a room full of songwriters. Attendees heard live music, sipped a drink, and walked away with their very own collectible stub.
SONGWRITER SHOWCASE.
“I wrote the song, someone else sang it on a sold-out stage, and I saw 3% of that room nine months later. A stub that pays me the same night isn’t a gimmick — it’s rent.”
NASHVILLE SONGWRITER
Hear from one of Nashville’s top writers
“Fans want to support the writer, they just never had a way to. Hand them a stub that routes money to the credits and they’ll do it every show.”
