Every stream pays the artist. Instantly.
Music tech · Live streaming
SIKI is the new era of music and live streaming — a creator-first platform where royalties settle in real time, on every stream. Artists broadcast live, take tips and song requests, run auctions and subscriptions, and watch the money arrive while the song is still playing.

Why it exists
Streaming pays artists in fractions of a cent, months later, through statements nobody can read. The platforms got rich; the people making the music got a rounding error. Every musician knows it, and no incumbent has a reason to fix it.
SIKI starts from the other end: the royalty is the product. Every stream, tip, auction and subscription settles to the artist on blockchain rails in real time — not quarterly, not net-90, now. Live streaming makes it a stage instead of a jukebox: fans are in the room, requesting songs and tipping mid-set, and the artist sees every dollar land.
What's in it
- Real-time royalties Automated distribution across Hedera, Polygon and NEAR — every play settles to the rights holders the moment it happens, with the ledger to prove it.
- Live broadcasting Full live-streaming stack on Agora RTC/RTM — tipping, song requests and cloud recording built into the stage, not bolted on.
- A complete payment rail Stripe, PayPal, Apple IAP, Google Play Billing and crypto — however the fan wants to pay, the artist gets paid.
- Marketplace and subscriptions A digital marketplace with auctions and artist subscriptions, so the catalogue and the community both earn.
- AI-powered discovery Vector-search music recommendations, so listeners find the next artist while the artist finds the next fan.
- Shipped everywhere Flutter apps live on the App Store and Google Play, a React 18 web app, and a Node.js platform behind them — one product on every screen.
