What limbo/Royalties
actually does

limbo/Royalties processes streaming and sales data from every connected DSP, calculates per-track and per-release earnings, and turns it into transparent statements your partners can trust. Available in the dashboard and through the API. Independent by design and running on Curve, the royalty platform co-owned by Merlin, so the numbers are not a black box and your data is never shared.

/
Independent + private

Private by design, running on Curve: the royalty platform regulators required Universal to divest, co-owned by Merlin since August 2026 and kept independent. Partner royalty data never sits inside a company that competes with you.

Why limbo

Why royalties matter
more here

Most distributors run royalties on infrastructure owned by the majors or by VCs. limbo/ does not. That is the whole point.

/
Truly independent

Founder-owned, no major labels, no VCs. The companies you compete with never see your royalty data through us.
