Blockchain is remodeling industries beyond finance. In this Crypto for Advisors bulletin, we change the focus of traditional investments to explore a case of disruptive blockchain in the music industry. Inder Phull, CEO and co -founder of Pixelynx and creator of the Kor protocol, explains how musical rights and royalties in the chain are transforming the property and why this is important for artists and investors.

Remix, rights and income: why the musical infrastructure in the chain is the future
A fundamental change, redefine how music is protected, managed and monetized.
Introduction: A broken symphony
The digital revolution has empowered musicians with unprecedented tools to create, collaborate and reach global audiences. Unfortunately, this rapid evolution has come with its own set of challenges. Although the Internet has rewritten the rules of creation, distribution and consumption, the methods we use to protect and monetize creative content, such as copyright laws, licensing models and royalty structures, have not maintained pace. In this environment, artists fight to maintain control of their work, with an inappropriate attribution and a fair compensation.
For advisors, you can have customers in the music industry or investors who seek to invest in these assets. Understanding the evolution of this industry could be a strategic advantage as assets move in the chain.
The systems that ruled the industry were originally designed in a previous internet era when the concepts of global digital rights and licenses had not yet been considered. Now we are in a situation in which Tiktok’s successes are often born from unauthorized samples, the music generated by AI is flooding transmission platforms and artists fight to make a living.
The legal routes to capitalize on emerging opportunities, such as AI or UGC Virality, remain blocked behind the guardians, inherited contracts and unclear property data. Enter the Ochain Rights Infrastructure: a change that could requesate how we protect, administer and monetize music.
The problem: rights are fragmented and creators lose
There is a reason why music on social networks has not yet generated a flow of income for artists, why “metaverso” lacks music and why AI is perceived as a threat. The existing copyright systems do not adequately address the complex property network and the rights of use associated with modern music applications, such as the remix or content generated by the user on social media platforms.
The current complexity costs the industry billions, since this system often leaves creators poorly paid and legally vulnerable. The creators are changing to the content created by the owner, where they can track the use of their creations and consumption, and receive payments regardless of where their assets are consumed.
The future: chain rights infrastructure
Ochain’s rights infrastructure redefines the music industry backend. It provides the rightists with the undisputed and verifiable rights of their work, with the rights scheduled transparently in the registry. This transparency and programmability allow music to move effortlessly through platforms, applications and media, automatically tracing the attribution, verification of the origin and eliminating the friction of traditional license processes. Artists receive payment instantly and their rights apply in real time.
Imagine if each track came with an intelligent contract, one that listed the rights holders, property percentages and license terms in the code. If I wanted to use the song in a remix, a synchronization or a sample, the contract would tell you what is allowed and automatically distributed royalties.
That is what makes the chain rights infrastructure possible.
In a block chain, rights can be:
- Transparent – Anyone can see who possesses what
- Programmable – Remix’s terms, divisions and conditions are encoded
- Traceable – Derivatives and remixes are traced in real time
- Composition – Rights become construction blocks, no walls
If the music industry wants to capitalize on emerging technology and serve the digital consumers of tomorrow, it will need a more agile and prospective approach to the management and licenses of musical rights. Ochain’s rights infrastructure is the answer.
Understanding the change to the infrastructure of rights in the chain is no longer a niche; It is a key part of the future. Whether you are advising IP holders who navigate their royalty flows or help investors to explore the IP of music as a kind of emerging assets, it is vital fluently in how rights and income can be encoded transparently. Like the transmission of consequent consumption models, chain infrastructure is restructuring the property system; Those who understand it early will be better positioned to grow in evolving digital economy.

Ask an expert
Q. In a world of corporate festivals and reproduction lists driven by the algorithm, how can decentralized models allow new musical scenes, community leadership and property of fans?
Music has always prospered in pockets: underground clubs, bedroom producers, DIY scenes. Blockchain now offers the opportunity to bring these microults to the world, influencing those who live culture, not only those who monetize it.
For investors, the advantage is early access to unleashed cultural capital and the energy of self -organized communities. Most users still yearn for experiences, not just technology. No protocol can manufacture authenticity, and it is easy for the “property” to become performative if it is disconnected from what is happening in the field. The winning models will obtain the “local to global” steering wheel correctly: use technology to empower people, not only platforms and guarantee new voices and groups receive the recognition and support they need before being absorbed by the next algorithmic trend.
Q. What persistent problems can blockchain and AI in live events, and what is not yet resolved for the musical economy?
Blockchain finally addresses ticket fraud, opaque divisions and the lack of property of fans in events. Tickets in the chain are manipulations and traceable proof, making resale flows and transparent royalties. AI is reducing noise by customizing experiences, automating support and making sense of the huge and messy flooding of fans data that most places still ignore. However, technology alone will not solve the deepest problems of the music industry. The construction of scenes, trust and healing remain deeply human challenges. No blockchain replaces the hustle and bustle of gaining credibility, or the magic of a local scene bubbling challenging the mainstream. Even the best AI cannot detect the artist who defines the genre of next year without a pulse in the culture itself. For investors and advisors, the risk is to buy the illusion that data and automation can only promote commitment and loyalty. The most convincing opportunities will combine digital tools with the understanding of the real world, creating systems that train communities instead of only optimizing transactions.
Q. What are the blind points in the current “web3 x music” hype cycle, and where should the advisors have caution?
There is no shortage of launch mallets that promise to “revolutionize” music with tokens and NFT. But exaggeration alone cannot replace an authentic connection, or build the base energy that makes the festivals last. Advisors must look beyond user counts or discord noise and ask: local communities are really thriving? Is the community government a real process or simply a fashion word? Can this model attract and retain both talent and loyal fans? The winners will be platforms that treat culture as a living ecosystem, not as a fast flip, and that balance innovation in the chain with work outside the chain of building trust.
