Yes — Commercial Sync covers monetized YouTube, ads, podcasts, paid games, and films. CC-BY 4.0 also covers monetized use, but requires you to credit the artist in your description.
Every license mints as a CIP-25 token on the Cardano blockchain. It's a tamper-proof proof-of-license: if a platform ever flags your video, you can prove you licensed the track without digging through email or PDF archives. The token contains the song, artist, license type, and date — anyone can verify on cardanoscan.io.
No. You can license with just a credit card via Stripe. The NFT mints into a Sync.Land custody address by default and is available to download whenever you want to claim it.
Sign up, upload your music, and add a payout method (PayPal or tip-jar email). When someone licenses your song, the revenue clears to you minus the platform fee. CC-BY tracks earn through tip-jar links since the license itself is free.
Sync.Land is artist-direct. Independent musicians upload their own catalog and set their own licensing terms. No major-label clearance, no middlemen.
Many tracks are tagged as instrumental — filter the catalog by the "Instrumental" tag. Stems are available for some Commercial Sync licenses on a per-artist basis.
