Introductory overview: Sound Protocol: Technical Deep Dive
Features
Permissionless
Anyone can freely deploy Sound contracts.
Non-upgradeable contracts
All contracts are non-upgradeable, which gives artists and collectors greater confidence in the security and sovereignty of the communities they can build on Sound.
Customizable metadata
Artists and developers are free to implement custom metadata modules to suit their needs.
Customizable mint formats
Mint formats can be customized on a per-song basis by utilizing minter module contracts.
Customizable payments & royalties
With each song as its own contract, Sound Protocol supports end-to-end royalties across primary and secondary sales. Any address can be set to receive the edition’s revenue, be it the artist’s wallet or a payment splitter contract.
Gas efficient
A great amount of effort was made toward making the Sound Protocol gas efficient. See gas benchmarks section for details.
