The song market
On a buy, the rest of your trade enters the song’s market vault and sets the price. On a sell, it is what you receive.
Every buy and every sell on CHART carries the same 1.25% fee. The program splits it in the same transaction — part funds CHART, part goes to the people behind the music.
Calculated with the same rounding the on-chain program uses, to the cent.
On a buy, the rest of your trade enters the song’s market vault and sets the price. On a sell, it is what you receive.
CHART’s fee in every song market. No song-token allocation, no song-token sales, no profit from song-token price moves.
Set aside in that song’s own reserve account for its verified rightsholders — 40% of every fee.
About the Creator ReserveEach song starts at the same price. Buying moves the price up the curve and selling moves it down, so early conviction is visible in the market. When a song reaches a $50,000 market cap it graduates: the virtual floor is removed, surplus tokens are locked for good, and trading continues on a pool backed only by real reserves — without a price jump.
Market mechanics in the whitepaperThe reserve is funded by fees and is set aside for verified rightsholders. Token holders do not receive it, and it does not depend on prices. Song tokens are speculative market positions — not ownership of music, royalties or revenue.
