Royal · interactive mechanism simulation

Fans buy KYC-gated "Limited Digital Asset" shares (ERC-1155, Polygon) → streaming royalties flow from DSPs to the artist off-chain → the artist deposits the pledged royalty share as USDC into the treasury/disbursement contract → holders claim their pro-rata payout each period. Edit the parameters below to see when the yield-vs-price math breaks.
⚠ Bear-market shock simulated: LDA prices spiked on speculation while streaming yield stayed flat, and secondary demand collapsed — this yield/price mismatch and thin secondary liquidity are why Royal sunset its marketplace in April 2024.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched Royal mechanism (KYC-gated ERC-1155 "Limited Digital Asset" drops on Polygon, a pledged share of streaming royalties deposited as USDC into a treasury/disbursement contract, periodic pro-rata payouts) — but trade timing and amounts are randomized for visualization, not live onchain data.
