XECHO beta · for artists
Five minutes, then you are set. XECHO is in private beta: your account, profile and music are real, but every payment uses test money. Here is exactly what to type at each step.
Keep your code. On a new phone or computer XECHO may ask for it again — enter the same code and the same email.
Right after sign-up XECHO opens Let's build your stage. Tap Build your artist profile:
You land on your dashboard. The Finish setting up list there tracks everything below — work down it.
Every song you release is registered to you on the blockchain. The record lives in your ownership vault — a wallet only you control. Claim it before your first upload:
Your Free plan includes 5 releases; the upload screen shows how many you have left and warns you before an album would go past them. After that a release is $10 — in the beta that is the test card again.
XECHO runs on the BNB Smart Chain test network during the beta. You can do everything with a card instead — crypto is optional, except for the ownership vault below.
The first time you use a wallet, it asks you to sign a message. Signing is free, sends no money and moves nothing — it just proves the wallet belongs to your XECHO account.
Every crypto payment needs a little tBNB to pay the network fee. The public faucets usually ask for real BNB first, so we send it to you: email support@xecho.pro (or reply to your invite) with your wallet address and we send tBNB plus test USDT and XDRIP to spend. Your wallet address is shown when you tap your connected wallet; it starts with 0x.
Never send real crypto to a XECHO address during the beta, and never share your wallet's secret recovery phrase or private key with anyone — XECHO will never ask for it.
Dashboard → Payouts. Choose your country, then tap through to Stripe, our payments partner. Stripe is in test mode during the beta, so it only accepts its own test details. Do not enter your real SSN, ID or bank account. Any name and email are fine; for the rest use:
| Stripe asks for | Type this |
|---|---|
| Phone | 000 000 0000 |
| Text-message code | 000-000 |
| Date of birth | 01/01/1901 |
| SSN / ID number | 000-00-0000 (last 4: 0000) |
| Address line 1 | address_full_match — then any real city, state and ZIP |
| Bank routing number | 110000000 |
| Bank account number | 000123456789 |
Outside the US, use your country's test bank details instead:
| Country | Bank test details |
|---|---|
| United Kingdom | sort code 108800 · account 00012345 |
| Canada | routing 11000-000 · account 000123456789 |
| Australia | BSB 110000 · account 000123456 |
| Germany | IBAN DE89370400440532013000 |
| France | IBAN FR1420041010050500013M02606 |
| Ireland | IBAN IE29AIBK93115212345678 |
| Netherlands | IBAN NL39RABO0300065264 |
When Stripe sends you back, XECHO marks your payout setup as done. The same Stripe step covers your tax details (Account → Tax shows its status). Optionally add a payout wallet on the Wallets page — another free signature — if you also want to be paid in crypto.
Earnings are calculated twice a month. During the beta they are test money: you will see them on your dashboard, but nothing is paid out for real. You will set up real payouts, with your real details, when XECHO goes live.
Dashboard → Fans has your personal fan invite link. It opens XECHO with a beta code already filled in, so your fans can join without asking us — up to 250 people. Send them to the listener guide first.
You also have a listener account already: open the listener app with the same login to hear XECHO the way your fans do.
