At Revelator, we’ve spent the past 4 years contributing to building a fairer and more equitable creative economy, through market leading music distribution and IP management services. In keeping with our mission to add value to the next generation of music creators and rights-holders, we’re unveiling Labs, the innovation arm of Revelator, set to revolutionise and democratise the future of IP.

Central to our belief in this technology is Real World Assets (RWA) driving blockchain adoption across a wide array of industries, whilst generating brilliant opportunities to democratise access to new asset classes. The music industry provides an exciting and rich opportunity to test the diverse range of Revelator Labs products and services, with its complex combination of creative and financial demands. 

Our vision at Revelator Labs is to power the next phase in evolution of the music supply chain. How the music industry records ownership and revenue is due a rethink, and the innovative ability to offer self-custody of royalty revenue streams using smart contracts is an empowering and intriguing alteration of the status quo. Providing artists, labels and fans with access to a new uncorrelated asset class which they are responsible for creating opens up a wealth of new possibilities throughout the music industry. 

Cultural change is often sparked at a grassroots level; where innovation, experimentation and out–of-the-box approaches are celebrated. Our belief is that building impactful, disruptive expressive tools for the new generation of musicians will allow for the formation of a fairer, more equitable creative economy for all. 

The growth of Revelator as a music distribution, analytics, revenue settlement and supply-chain powerhouse has resulted in an unwavering commitment to the immediate needs of our customers. With this in mind, we’re eager to remain one step ahead of the curve, by providing them access to Revelator Labs; a platform through which to experiment with, and leverage groundbreaking new technologies for the benefit of rights-holders and the industry at large. 

As we witness the explosive growth of the creator economy, where every fan has access to both tools and copyright that reset the traditional power dynamics, it’s vitally important that the distribution and administration of rights keep pace. A new system of automation in rights registration, automatic settlement and micropayments will serve to unlock an abundance of new revenue streams. Revelalor Labs is positioned to power the inevitable, and necessary, shift to self-custody contracts and autonomous payment flows. 

Alternating the course of an industry built on legacy rails is no easy feat, yet one that we’re confident of orchestrating with the tools at our disposal. Whilst the medium of delivery and consumption has [changed] beyond recognition, the royalty systems and structures that underpin much of the business has become irreconcilably dated. We look forward to you joining us on this journey as we seek to bring true value back to music IP.
