Our ecosystem, in focus
We share highlights from XDRIP Digital Management LLC, Xecho, XColdPro, Arcadian Pixels, Xdripia Waves, and Tales of Xdripia. We bring you short summaries, with every original post one click away.
XechoWe published a step-by-step guide for artists in the XECHO beta. It covers getting in, your profile, your vault, your first upload, setting up payouts, and what to do when something doesn't click. The beta runs on test money, and the checkouts now spell out the test values.

XechoIn XECHO, a play is a set number of seconds a listener actually spends with a track. What the listener pays goes to the artists they spent those seconds on, and artists keep 85%. The beta is invite-only.

XechoXECHO is not only music. Books and audiobooks sell inside the beta right next to the tracks. The beta is invite-only, and we asked authors whether they narrate their own audiobook.

XechoEvery artist and author in the XECHO beta now has their own fan invite link, found on the Fans page (Reader Tools for authors). Fans no longer have to wait on us for a code. The beta remains invite-only.

XechoOn XECHO, streams pay 85% to the creator, tips 95%, fan subscriptions 80% and Wave Shop sales 85%. These are the numbers in our published terms and the numbers the system is set to pay. There is no per-release fee at any tier, and we cover the network fee for every release's ownership record.

XechoEvery XECHO creator account comes with StudioX, our in-browser studio, free tier included. You can record, mix with gain and pan on every channel, solo what you need and release through XECHO when it is done. We do not charge creators for the tools to make the work, at any tier.

XechoTo join the XECHO beta, you fill out a request form with your name, email, what you do and why you want in. A person on the team reads every request, and if it is a yes your code arrives by email. Artists can start on the free tier with up to five releases, and the beta is invite-only.

XechoIf you make music and are not on XECHO yet, this is our ask. Upload a track and it is yours on the platform rather than licensed back to you, and 85 cents of every dollar stays with the artist. It is an invite-only beta, and you can request a code on our site.

XechoAuthors got a working hub on XECHO: an end-to-end book upload flow, a catalogue of published titles, verification, a payouts page and a metrics page. The metrics come from a newly built API so the numbers are computed by the system rather than estimated. The beta remains invite-only, with no date promised for general access.

XechoPreviews shipped this week on XECHO: thirty seconds of any track, open to anyone without an account or code. Full audio stays behind a per-track token, with the gate placed at the read surface rather than the player so it does not leak. Beta artists can now send their track to anyone to hear.

XechoLast week on XECHO, artists gained the ability to claim on-chain earnings, the last piece of the payout path that needed a human in the middle. Books and audiobooks got their own catalogue pages with structured data and a controlled vocabulary for subjects and genres. The beta remains invite-only, with no general-access date promised.

XechoArtists on XECHO can now claim their on-chain earnings straight from the dashboard: you see the balance, claim it, and it settles on chain with no support ticket. Authors received a payouts surface of their own in the same batch. The beta is still invite-only, with codes going out in waves.
