Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a pre-drop?

    A pre-drop is a release of music on doba before it is officially distributed on major streaming platforms. Artists build momentum with super fans, and fans collect the track as a song token.

    How do I sign in?

    You can sign up with your email, Discord, or Twitter account. If you already have a self-custody wallet, you can connect Eternl, Vespr, or Lace instead.

    Do I need a Cardano wallet?

    Not to get started. Social login creates a wallet behind the scenes. If you prefer full self-custody, you can connect your own Cardano wallet at any time.

    How do artists get paid?

    Artists keep 90% of primary sales and earn 5% royalties on every secondary resale. Payments settle instantly in ADA through smart contracts.

    What blockchain does doba use?

    Doba runs on Cardano. We use native eUTXO smart contracts for deterministic revenue splits and royalty enforcement.

    Can I resell music I collect?

    Yes. Every song token can be traded on secondary marketplaces that support Cardano NFTs. The original artist earns a royalty on each resale.

    Is doba free for fans?

    Streaming on doba is free. Collecting a song token requires purchasing it in ADA, which supports the artist directly.
