Open demand signals are low-friction and anyone can gather them. Escalating a campaign to authorized, escrow-backed pledging is an operator-reviewed step — and once that authority is granted, the artist-approved terms are locked so backers can trust them.
When a campaign has a platform fee, the management view shows the estimated net artist payout at the goal. The fee is charged only on successful release, so failed campaigns still refund backers in full.
Deadlines have to line up so the campaign can go live: the funding deadline must be in the future, and the booking deadline must fall after the funding deadline. The form flags a problem before you save.
Need to fix a locked term after authority is approved — for example a wrong deadline, and no one has backed the campaign yet? An operator revokes authority, which unlocks the terms for editing, then re-approves. Every step is recorded, so the correction is fully auditable.
Admin and operator accounts can use the Shows list filter to switch from the default actionable campaign view to all campaigns or to a specific status such as cancelled, refunds, or released. If a linked escrow campaign looks stale, operators can re-sync it from the chain to refresh the fee and escrow status shown to fans.
Before your account can be the destination for campaign money, it has to be eligible for payouts. This protects fans and keeps payouts going to real people.
Your account must pass the human-verification (personhood) check.
Your catalog must have a release whose rights review allows payouts.
There must be no open rights restriction on your catalog.
Between booking confirmation and the final release of funds, an operator can raise a dispute if something looks wrong — for example a venue falling through. While a dispute is open, backers see that final release is paused. Resolving a dispute is recorded for the audit trail; it does not by itself move money — release always stays gated by the on-chain time-lock.
