Catalog · interactive mechanism simulation

Artists pitch tracks through a curated merkle allowlist → accepted tracks mint as 1/1 "records" on the shared cNFT contract → collectors buy at 100% to the artist → resales pay the artist's self-set royalty. Edit the parameters and watch the flywheel change.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched Catalog mechanism (curated merkle-allowlist minting, 1/1 cNFT records, 100% of primary sales to the artist, artist-set secondary royalty, Arweave permanence) — trade sizes and timing are randomized for visualization, not live onchain data. "Trigger 2022 bear market" models the cyclical demand collapse that led Catalog to sunset the platform in March 2024. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
