# Stakeholders Diagram

Royalty Admins generate authentic releases, independent Validators verify and stamp the releases (and audio fingerprint if applicable). Royalties are collected to verifiable, tamper proof smart contracts and claimed privately by rights-holders. Maximizing peer-to-peer interaction with provenance of rights and royalty data to increase the velocity of royalty payments and unlock liquidity for rights holders.
