Sign Your Splits via WhatsApp: How SPLEET Works

The Problem: Music Contracts Are Slow

The music industry has a friction problem. According to eSignGlobal, music licensing contracts suffer constant delays from manual handling, versioning issues, and multiple intermediaries. The typical flow involves circulating a Word document between parties, each creating redlines on their own copy, generating a version chaos that nobody controls.

For musicians negotiating on tours, in sessions, or backstage, it's even worse. 48% of creative professionals sign contracts from their phone at least once a month, according to Oneflow. But most digital signing tools are designed for offices, not recording studios.

What the Data Says About Digital Signing

The e-signature market numbers are compelling:

Why WhatsApp?

WhatsApp processes 100 billion messages daily. In Spain and Latin America, it's the de facto communication tool among musicians. WhatsApp groups are where sessions are coordinated, demos are shared, and informal agreements are closed.

The idea behind SPLEET is simple: if the negotiation already happens on WhatsApp, the signing should be able to happen there too. Not as an attached document, but as a secure link that opens a mobile-optimized signing flow.

How It Works Step by Step

1. Create your split in the SPLEET app, from your DAW plugin, or directly via WhatsApp by talking to our assistant. Define the song, collaborators, and percentages.

2. Share via WhatsApp. SPLEET generates a unique, secure link. You send it to your production group chat like you'd send any other message.

3. Your collaborators sign from their phone. No app download or account creation needed. They open the link, verify their identity with an SMS OTP code, and sign. Average time: under 2 minutes.

4. Everyone receives the signed agreement with blockchain registration. And if you manage a catalog as a publisher, SPLEET automatically generates the CWR for collection societies.

Security Without Friction

Easy doesn't mean insecure:

Each link is unique and expires after use

Signatures are verified with SMS OTP (two-factor)

The document is sealed on NEAR Protocol (blockchain)

Compliant with eIDAS for legal validity across all 27 EU countries

Compliant with ESIGN Act for validity in the United States

Why Fewer Tools Is Better

Plutio reports that their users reduce administrative time by up to 80% on sync deals after setting up templates. The lesson is clear: every additional tool adds friction. If an artist has to check six apps before knowing what to do, the process is broken.

SPLEET isn't another tool for your stack. It's the signature that happens inside the conversation you're already having.
