How could artists make money on CIFRA?
The artist will be able to earn by putting it up for an auction or getting royalties from streaming their art. The royalties are automatically calculated on the 1st day of each month.
We provide reliable protected storage for the artwork's original file. This initial file never goes to streaming and securely stays in the storage area, hashed for extra security. We create the additional streaming-only file copy in our platform's format, so there’s no way to steal the artwork, as the hash and the format won't match with the original file. The watermark is integrated into both the streaming flow and the streaming file. Soon, we are planning to add a hidden watermark for extra security.
