Explore Web3 and Blockchain

Blockchain is like a public and permanent ledger. Each block in the chain contains data that, once recorded, cannot be altered without modifying the entire chain. Initially popularized by Bitcoin, this technology has applications beyond cryptocurrencies, providing security, transparency, and decentralization.

Web3 is the evolution of the Internet into a platform where users not only read and write content but also own their data thanks to the use of blockchain. This gives users complete control over their information and how it is shared online.

Blockchain can address key issues in the music industry related to copyright records and revenue distribution, allowing for greater control over works.

Copyright protects artistic works, ensuring that holders receive compensation for their use. At Artsigna, we deeply respect these rights and offer robust tools for their effective management.

Artsigna transforms copyright management through simplified and transparent registration with blockchain, offering:
  • Less bureaucracy: Direct and efficient registrations.
  • Greater transparency: Clear and verifiable transactions.
  • Security and reliability: Robust protection against fraud and piracy.

Blockchain facilitates microtransactions, enabling precise payments for each song play ensuring fair and direct compensation for artists.

According to the Berne Convention – which protects creative works in more than 180 countries – copyright is generated automatically at the moment of creation. This means that registration is not mandatory, as a work is protected as soon as it is created. 

However, it is recommended to register works with national copyright offices to obtain official proof of ownership and facilitate legal defense in case of disputes. 

In this sense, registering works on the blockchain is a valid alternative from a legal point of view, as it provides two essential proofs: proof of existence and proof of attribution. This is possible thanks to the immutable and decentralized nature of the blockchain, which records each piece of data securely and permanently, ensuring that it cannot be altered or deleted.

While the legal adoption of blockchain continues to evolve, its use in Artsigna as proof of existence offers significant advantages:
  • Timestamp: Accurate verification of the creation date and time.
  • Certification integrity: Assurance that the work has not been altered post-registration.
  • Proof of attribution: Clear linkage between the work's registration and creator.
