Overview
Doba Protocol is a music platform that lets independent artists sell their songs as collectible NFTs and split the proceeds with collaborators automatically. Producers, vocalists, and engineers each receive their agreed share the moment a fan mints a track. The platform positions per-track NFT minting as the alternative to streaming-volume royalties1.
Doba Protocol has been associated with Ian Onjuguna, who is a contributor to IntersectMBO, the member-based organization that coordinates Cardano governance2. A formal team page and full contributor list are not published on the landing site.
Key Features
- One-click royalty splits. Artists set percentages for each collaborator such as a singer, producer, and engineer. Smart contracts then route every sale to the right wallet automatically, with no manual payout step in the middle1.
- Direct fan-to-artist payment. When a fan mints a song as an NFT, the artist is paid in the same on-chain transaction, with no record label, streaming aggregator, or intermediary holding funds first1.
- Audio upload and storage handled by the platform. Artists drag and drop stems and Doba takes care of encoding and file storage, so musicians do not need their own hosting setup or audio engineering pipeline1.
- Limited public documentation. No documentation portal, whitepaper, or roadmap is exposed from the landing page, and a third-party security review of the smart contracts has not been published1.
- Cardano ecosystem ties. Contributor links to IntersectMBO place the project inside the active Cardano builder network rather than as an outside arrival2.
What to Expect
Visitors to doba.world see a single-page site that walks through the three-step product flow (upload, split, and earn) with a Launch App button at the top. The supporting product surfaces, such as a documentation site, whitepaper, roadmap, or public project GitHub repository, are not exposed from the homepage. Fans and artists wanting deeper technical context have to reach out to the team through one of the social channels (X, Discord, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or LinkedIn). The brand presents as design-forward, with a lavender and magenta color palette and a hero tagline that reads "Storytelling Magic"1. The smart contract framework (Plutus, Aiken, or other), contract addresses, and audit posture have not been publicly disclosed on the project site or in the team's public channels1. No third-party security review of the protocol's smart contracts has been published, so early users should treat the platform as experimental. Verify directly with the team through Discord or X before uploading commercially valuable work, and ask for the working app URL since the public Launch App link is not exposed on the landing page.
