Studio
The release workspace has two paths: Blockchain Studio for minting records on supported chains, and Traditional Studio for building storefront products backed by traditional and trusted infrastructure.
Welcome To The Block Ark
Marketplace
The marketplace combines traditional and on-chain products so fans can discover releases across the digital world.
Storefronts
Claim a storefront, manage product slots, hide releases until ready, and route fans to a clean page for easy promoting and collecting.
Library
The library holds your uploaded files, purchased tracks, and owned on-chain music NFTS, and gives collectors a place to list, trade, transfer, and listen.
AI tools
Create your own AI Assistant to help you navigate and manage your community. With document vision, image generation, and real-time web searching, you have an AI assistant that can actually be useful.
Banter
Community discussion rooms for releases, feedback, questions, and conversations. It's a forum!
Before a release goes live
Block Ark Studios records details that help explain who made the music, what metadata is attached, and which rights or royalties the creator selected.
- Every release requires a name, title, description, cover artwork, and audio file.
- Copyright ISRC code, and royalties are optional.
- AI Music is flagged so fans and collaborators can see when a track is declared as AI-assisted or AI-generated.
Profit Sharing
For Stripe-backed digital products, the current accounting flow estimates payment processing and tax reserve first, then credits a creator share from profit after those expenses. The share depends on the creator role level.

How it all comes together
- A creator signs in, claims profile and storefront identity, and uploads or reuses audio and artwork.
- Traditional Studio creates a product in the creator account and storefront, with price, supply, availability, rights metadata, AI disclosure, and optional royalty metadata.
- Blockchain Studio pins media and metadata, then mints through the configured Studio contract on Soneium Mainnet, Soneium Minato, or Sepolia.
- Marketplace pages normalize traditional and blockchain listings into one discovery surface while preserving the original payment rail.
- Stripe-backed digital sales update product accounting and creator profit-sharing balances according to the creator role level.
- On-chain market purchases pay royalties first when ERC-2981 or listing royalty data exists, then send the remainder to the seller.
Build and Go
Start in the Studio, keep rights details attached, publish through a storefront, and use the marketplace path that fits the release: traditional checkout, on-chain listing, or both.
