BlockDB

The granular music genome. Query 100M+ ethically licensed components with onchain attribution.

Overview

BlockDB decomposes music into granular components—“Blocks”—that can be queried, sampled, and remixed. Every retrieval is logged onchain, ensuring transparent provenance and real-time royalty payments to original creators.

Features

Block-Level Retrieval

Query specific music components:
  • Melodic fragments — hooks, leads, basslines
  • Rhythmic patterns — drum loops, breaks, percussion
  • Textural layers — pads, atmospheres, FX
  • Vocal samples — one-shots, phrases, ad-libs

Royalty Transparency

Every Block retrieval triggers:
  1. Onchain log entry (Base network)
  2. Creator wallet attribution
  3. Real-time USDC split distribution
  4. Verifiable audit trail
