Instrumental Mode

Toggle "Instrumental" to generate music without vocals or lyrics. Ideal for background music, beats, and soundtracks.

Visibility

• Public: Visible to everyone, appears in feeds and search
• Private: Only you can see and play the song

Convert your songs into NFTs on Stellar blockchain. Minting creates a unique token for your song with built-in trading capabilities.

How to Mint

1. Go to any song you've created
2. Click the "Mint" button
3. Confirm the transaction with your passkey
4. Wait for blockchain confirmation (~5-10 seconds)

Costs

Minting requires minimal Stellar network fees, typically less than $0.01 USD. No hidden fees or platform cuts.

What You Get

• Unique NFT proving ownership
• Token with built-in AMM liquidity
• Ability to trade on the platform
• Onchain proof of creation

Minted songs have tradeable tokens via an Automated Market Maker (AMM). Buy tokens of songs you love or sell tokens of songs you own.

How Trading Works

• Each minted song has its own token pool
• Prices adjust automatically based on supply/demand
• No order books - instant trades via AMM
• Transparent pricing shown before confirmation

Buy vs Sell

• Buy: Spend KALE to acquire song tokens
• Sell: Exchange song tokens back for KALE

Viewing Balances

Your token holdings for each song appear in the song details and your account page.

Create custom playlists by curating songs from across the platform.
