Signal 01Music
Sound made on your own terms
No label standing between you and the person who found your music. Every stream, every download, every fan who shares your track — traced back to you, credited to you, paid to you.

IndieStarlight
Every independent creator is a point of light too far out to be seen yet. We're building the sky that brings them into view — one honest signal at a time.

Stage 1 — launching September 1, 2026
Where we start.
Three independent mediums, one network, live from day one.
Signal 02Books
Stories that reach further than the algorithm allows
Independent authors and small presses, discovered through real curators instead of a black-box feed. A reader who finds you through someone they trust is a reader who stays.
Signal 03Film
Vision, distributed without the gatekeepers
Independent filmmakers telling the stories a studio would pass on. Built for creators who'd rather find the right thousand viewers than chase the wrong million.
Targeting 2027
Where we're going.
Stage 1 proves the model. These are the mediums we're building toward next — same protection, same payout philosophy, extended to formats the big platforms still haven't figured out how to serve independents fairly.
2027 · Games & Interactive Fiction
Worlds, not just files to pirate
Indie game developers and interactive-fiction authors get the same provenance-protected distribution and fair payout structure — built for creators who make things players explore, not just consume.
2027 · Immersive & Wellness
Formats the big platforms still don't take seriously
VR, AR, and guided wellness or meditation experiences from independent creators — distributed with the same protection and payout philosophy as everything else in the network.
What the network provides
Built to work for independents, not around them.
01
Cryptographic attribution
Every copy carries a hidden, verified mark tracing it back to its original sale — even from a partial or degraded leak.
Patent Pending
02
Built-in piracy protection
Leaked or re-shared copies remain traceable, and the system is hardened against tampering and collusion.
Patent Pending
03
Industry-leading payouts
No label, studio, or platform tax quietly eating the majority of every sale before it reaches you.
04
Discovery contests & live events
A way to get found that isn't a black-box algorithm — real events, real audiences, real stakes.
05
A non-corporate way in
Fans support independent creators directly — no conglomerate standing between the work and the person who wants it.
How it works
One sky, two kinds of stars.
IndieStarlight sits at the center — curated recommendations, fan pages, and dedicated storefronts for both sides of the network. Around it, two constellations: the creators making the work, and the influencers helping the right audience find it. Tap any star for detail.
The hub of the network: curated, human-driven recommendations; fan pages for every creator; dedicated storefronts for creators and for influencers alike. One place where independent work gets a real shot at being found — protected by cryptographic attribution and post-quantum-hardened security from the moment it's delivered.
Independent Creators
A dedicated storefront, provenance-protected releases, and payouts based on real listens — not padded, bot-inflated numbers.
Your own shelf instead of a listing lost in an ocean of titles. Every sale traced back to you, no matter how many hands the copy passed through.
Distribution without a distributor's cut. Built for creators who'd rather reach the right thousand viewers than chase the wrong million.
Targeting 2027: the same attribution and payout model, extended to indie games and interactive fiction.
Targeting 2027: VR, AR, and guided wellness creators, protected and paid the same way as every other medium in the network.
Influencers & Curators
Turn an ear for talent into real income — verified, auditable commission on every sale your audience actually makes.
Every reader you send is tracked to your storefront. No stolen credit, no guessing which post actually worked.
Feature the independent films you actually believe in, and get paid fairly for the audience you bring to them.
Run discovery contests and live events inside the network. We handle payout accuracy and fraud protection — you handle the audience.
Curators & influencers: we're contracting a small group of partners now
If you have an audience that trusts your taste — in music, books, film, or beyond — we want to talk about bringing you into the Stage 1 pilot ahead of the September 1 launch.
The sky is still forming.
We're bringing on a small first group of musicians, authors, and filmmakers before opening more broadly — along with the curators who find great work before anyone else does. If that's you, we'd like to hear from you.
