5. Modules and Services

5.1. LISOLO (Blockchain)

Smart contract module to define splits (percentages) between Artists and Producers. The Artist invites a Producer via email or phone number; the Producer can accept, reject, or counter-offer. Once signed, the contract is irrevocable and splits are automatically applied to all future Revenues. Cancellation requires a request from one party, consent of the other, and Administrator validation. A contract cannot be unilaterally modified after signature; the sum of percentages must equal 100%.

5.2. GIGS (Booking / Ticketing)

Ticketing module for concerts and events. The Artist creates an event (title, description, date, location, capacity, price) and defines ticket types (Standard, VIP, Early Bird). Fans buy via Mobile Money or Wallet; the money is held in escrow until the event ends. Tickets are scannable via QR code and invalidated if presented multiple times. After the concert, the Artist receives their fee (minus the 10% DANAFRICA Commission) and can pay musicians or technicians (manual splits). Tickets are non-refundable unless the event is canceled by the organizer; DANAFRICA is not responsible for last-minute cancellations or changes.

5.3. Music Distribution

Distribution module to DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, YouTube Music, TikTok, Deezer, etc.). The Artist uploads a track (MP3, WAV, FLAC, max 500 MB), fills in metadata, declares AI usage, chooses a future release date (min +14 days), and selects DSPs. The track is subject to Administrator validation (statuses: Pending → Validated → Distributed → Rejected with reason).

  • Cover art must be JPEG/PNG, 3000×3000 pixels (or min 1400×1400 for Studio accounts).
  • Audio file must be at least 30 seconds long.
  • Counterfeit tracks or those without rights are rejected.
  • DANAFRICA does not guarantee a track’s acceptance by a DSP.

5.4. Wallet and Mobile Money Payments

Integrated electronic wallet with Mobile Money withdrawals (Orange Money, Airtel Money, M-Pesa). Revenues (sales, streams, tips, tickets) are credited to the Wallet; the User can request a withdrawal to their Mobile Money account, processed in minutes depending on the operator. The 10% DANAFRICA Commission is automatically deducted. Withdrawals are subject to operator limits (e.g., 1,000,000 FC per transaction); KYC may be required for high amounts. DANAFRICA is not responsible for withdrawal detail entry errors.

5.5. MAKAMBO (Fans)
