Royalty splitting on Stellar
Agree the split once. Everyone gets paid the same way, every time.
SplitNaira lets Nigerian artists, producers, songwriters and their teams record who earns what from a song, film or project — then pays each collaborator their share automatically whenever money comes in.
Free to use. You only pay the Stellar network fee for each transaction you sign.

How it works
Four steps from agreement to payout.
- 01
Connect your wallet
Sign in with a Stellar wallet such as Freighter. SplitNaira never asks for, sees or stores your secret key.
- 02
Create the split
Name the project, choose the token you are paid in, and add each collaborator’s address and share. Shares must add up to exactly 100%.
- 03
Deposit earnings
When royalties arrive, deposit them into the project. The balance is held by the smart contract, not by SplitNaira.
- 04
Distribute
Anyone can trigger a payout. The contract sends every collaborator their exact share in one transaction.
Built for creative teams
Everything you need to keep collaborators paid fairly and on record.
Projects
One project per song, album, film or campaign, each with its own token, balance and payout history.
Collaborators
Add artists, producers, writers and managers by wallet address, with a readable alias for each.
Exact allocations
Shares are set in basis points (1 bp = 0.01%), so a split like 33.33% is stored exactly. No rounding surprises.
Payment tracking
See balances, rounds and every payment sent, with a confirmation state for each transaction you sign.
Verifiable records
Every deposit and payout is a public Stellar transaction you can open in a block explorer.
Lock when final
When the agreement is settled, lock the project so the split can never be changed again.
Why Stellar and Soroban?
The split rules live in a Soroban smart contract on the Stellar network. Once a project is created, payouts follow those rules — SplitNaira cannot redirect funds or change shares on its own. Stellar transactions settle in seconds for a very small network fee.
A smart contract removes a middleman, not every risk: always double-check collaborator addresses before you create or lock a split.
What you can rely on
- Non-custodial — your wallet signs every transaction
- No platform fee taken from payouts
- Open source under the MIT licence
- In active development — try it on testnet first
Frequently asked questions
Which currency are payouts in?
Payouts are in the Stellar token you choose when creating the project, such as XLM. The contract admin can restrict which tokens are allowed.
Does every collaborator need a wallet?
Yes. Each collaborator is identified by a Stellar address, which is where their share is sent.
Can a split be changed later?
The project owner can update collaborators and shares until the project is locked. Locking is permanent.
What does it cost?
SplitNaira does not take a cut. Each transaction you sign pays a small Stellar network fee in XLM.
What happens if a transaction fails?
Nothing is shown as paid until the network confirms it. If a transaction fails or its outcome is unknown, the app says so and blocks a duplicate submission until it is resolved.
