Catalog ingest · audio in, registry out
Upload audio you already own — songs, vocals, stems, samples. Suede registers the work on Base, attaches your chosen license preset, and gives you a verifiable hash before the file is even fully ingested. No legal scaffolding to set up. No middleman holding your rights.

How upload works
The uploader is one tab on top of the same proof-of-creation pipeline that powers the registry and the studio. Every ingest produces a sealed work ID, a metadata commit on Base, a license envelope, and a downloadable master — without a label, a PRO, or a third-party clearance step.
WAV, MP3, FLAC, or AIFF. Drag onto the dropzone or pick from disk. Up to unlimited tracks per creator.
Every track is hashed and bound to a creator key. The work ID is unique and verifiable.
Metadata commits to the Suede registry contract. On-chain proof of authorship in under 60s.
Pick from sync, sample, master, stem, or custom. The envelope is mintable from the moment ingest finishes.
Stems exportable, splits routable, BaseScan link surfaced. Same hash travels through every license.
The uploader is not a wrapper on a hosting service. It is the user-facing tab on top of Suede's registry, hashing, and on-chain anchoring stack. Same primitive as the studio, different ingest surface.
What every upload carries
Uploaded tracks ship to DSPs and sync supervisors with the same hash they were registered with.
Pick at ingest: sync, sample, master, stem, or custom. Patent-pending USPTO 63/947,120.
Splits saved once route every license, sync, or stream payout pro-rata in USDC.
Hash + creator-key signature, anchored on Base before the file is even fully ingested.
WAV, MP3, FLAC, AIFF. The thing you already own. The four layers above arrive automatically.
One dropzone, five license presets, one button. The uploader surface is intentionally narrow because the heavy lifting — sealed hashing, on-chain anchoring, license templates, royalty routing — happens automatically beneath it.
The upload side has its own SUEDE utility surface. Three live levers that make the ingestion path earn more for holders without changing how the work is licensed.
Bulk uploads carry a small registry fee on land. Holders ($500+ in wallet) pay zero. Same threshold used across studio and vault deposits.
A 100-track back-catalog lands fee-free. SUEDE in wallet pays for itself the first ingest day.
Tracks uploaded by SUEDE-tier creators surface higher in marketplace search and recommended lists. Same T0–T4 ladder used for vault allocation.
T3+ tier sees first-page treatment when sync supervisors browse the back-catalog. Visibility is real, not synthetic.
Tracks uploaded by creators at SUEDE-tier balances earn a kicker on every license payout the registry routes — same kicker structure as the investor T2/T3/T4 yield bonuses.
Creators who hold SUEDE earn more on the same back-catalog. Demand from artists, not speculators.
