On-Chain
Music platforms built on small, illiquid tokens inevitably break.
Low liquidity distorts pricing, incentivizes giveaways, and creates tokenomics that are exploited long before artists are paid.
XRP Music doesn't reinvent money.
We use XRP — a highly liquid, battle-tested asset designed for real economic activity — so music sales can scale without collapsing the system.

Each track in an album is minted as its own NFT batch. This allows individual track ownership, full-album bundles, and transparent supply across all songs.
Buy one track or own the full set.
We believe in building in public. Here's every major milestone, every mistake, and every fix — because trust is earned through transparency, not promises.
XRP Music is conceived — a decentralized music marketplace built on the XRP Ledger where artists own their music forever. No tokens, no gimmicks. Just XRP, NFTs, and IPFS-stored audio that can never be taken down.
SpaceBar drops the very first track on XRP Music. Under the original system, artists minted all NFTs upfront — the full batch hit the chain at once, and the platform broker wallet held them for sale. Limited to 30 editions per release due to server timeout constraints. These are our ⛏ OG MINT releases — the artist is the on-chain issuer, and secondary royalties flow directly to them.
We upgrade to lazy minting — the system XRPL recommends. Instead of minting all NFTs upfront, each NFT is created on-demand when a buyer clicks "Buy." This unlocks up to 10,000 editions per release and eliminates the 30-NFT ceiling. Artists sign once during creation to authorize the platform broker wallet to mint and sell on their behalf.
During this transition, one line of code was missed: the Issuer field in the mint transaction. Without it, the platform wallet — not the artist — became the on-chain issuer. This means secondary market royalties on these NFTs route to the platform wallet instead of the artist.
Over the next month, artists across the XRP community discover XRP Music and begin uploading their catalogs. Songs, albums, EPs, and music videos go live. The platform grows organically — no paid promotion, just word of mouth and real music. All releases during this period carry the ⚠ LEGACY badge.
While testing secondary sales, SpaceBar notices that royalties from resales aren't arriving in the artist's wallet. After investigation, the root cause is identified: the Issuer field was missing from the NFTokenMint transaction in the lazy mint flow. Without it, the XRPL treats the platform wallet as the issuer — and routes the 5% transfer fee to the platform on every secondary sale, not the artist.
Within hours of discovery, the fix is deployed to production. The mint transaction now checks if the artist has authorized the platform as their NFTokenMinter, and if so, includes Issuer: artist_address in every mint. All new releases from authorized artists now carry the ✓ VERIFIED badge — the artist is the on-chain issuer and royalties flow directly to them on secondary sales.
The XRPL is immutable — we cannot change the issuer on NFTs already minted. But we can do the right thing. Every ⚠ LEGACY release is tracked in our analytics dashboard. We monitor all secondary market sales on these NFTs, and any royalties that route to the platform wallet will be manually forwarded to the rightful artist.
This isn't a workaround — it's a commitment. We built this platform for artists, and we intend to prove it.
