Ever wondered why music royalties get so messy? Ava Labs and Record Financial are tackling this head-on with blockchain tech. By putting music rights and payment records on a blockchain ledger, they're making the whole system transparent and tamper-proof. No more hidden disputes or murky payment trails. It's basically creating an immutable record of who owns what and who gets paid what. Pretty compelling stuff for an industry that's been plagued by accounting nightmares for decades.
