FAQ

Wavyl is built for people who want to discover music and for artists who want a clean place to publish, share, and grow. This FAQ covers the common questions listeners, creators, and general visitors may have while Wavyl continues to develop.

General

What is Wavyl?

Wavyl is a web3 music streaming platform focused on independent discovery, visual listening, curated moods, artist pages, playlists, and creator-first publishing tools. A core goal is to help creators receive value directly and quickly through millix, the cryptocurrency network that powers Wavyl payments.

Is Wavyl finished?

Wavyl is live and under active development. That means core listening and creator surfaces are available, while playback behavior, discovery, creator tools, payout features, and support pages continue to improve.

Do I need an account to listen?

You can explore public areas such as Discover, Browse, Wavyl Exclusive, artist pages, playlists, and public tracks without signing in. An account helps Wavyl remember your activity and unlocks more personal features.

What can I do with an account?

An account can support features such as liking tracks, following artists, returning to listening history, using creator tools, uploading music, and managing profile or payout information as those features are available.

Where should I start as a listener?

Start with Discover, Browse Popular, or Wavyl Exclusive. These areas are designed for quick exploration without needing to know exactly what you want first.

What is Wavyl Exclusive?

Wavyl Exclusive is a curated area for playlists and tracks presented by Wavyl. It is meant to give listeners a direct way into focused sounds, moods, and listening sessions.

Millix and Web3 Payments

What does it mean that Wavyl is powered by millix?

Wavyl is powered by millix because creator payments are designed to move through millix instead of sitting inside a traditional platform payout ledger. When eligible Wavyl payment activity is processed, millix can be sent directly to the creator’s wallet in real time.

What is millix?

Millix is an open source, decentralized cryptocurrency built on a directed acyclic graph, or DAG, rather than a traditional blockchain. The millix network is designed for high-speed, high-scale, low-energy transactions. You can learn more from the Millix Foundation and the millix FAQ.

How is Wavyl different from traditional creator payout platforms?

Many platforms collect creator earnings in a platform account and pay them later on a quarterly, semiannual, annual, or threshold-based schedule. Wavyl is being built around direct millix payments to the creator’s own wallet, so creators do not have to wait for Wavyl to batch and release a platform-held payout.

Is there a minimum withdrawal threshold?

No. Wavyl’s millix model is designed without a Wavyl withdrawal threshold because eligible millix payments are sent to the creator’s wallet directly rather than held until a minimum balance is reached. Wallet behavior, network conditions, and third-party service rules may still affect how a creator manages or exchanges their millix after receiving it.

Which millix wallets can creators use?

Creators can use a compatible millix wallet address. Options include Pagado, a wallet experience from the same team behind Wavyl; Tangled, a web3 social platform powered by millix; and millix.com, a millix wallet. Creators should choose the wallet experience that fits how they want to receive, hold, transfer, or use millix.

Will Wavyl add NFTs and other on-chain creator tools?

Yes, that is part of the long-term direction. Wavyl is meant to be a web3 music platform, so future creator tools may include NFTs and other on-chain features for ownership, access, identity, collectibles, and direct fan support.

Is millix or Wavyl payment information financial advice?

No. Millix is cryptocurrency, and cryptocurrency values and network conditions can change. Wavyl’s FAQ explains how the platform is designed; it is not financial, tax, investment, or legal advice.

Listening

How does the player work?

The Wavyl player follows you around the site so you can keep listening while browsing. On desktop it appears as a persistent player; on mobile it becomes a compact player with an expanded view for more controls.

Can I keep browsing while music plays?

Yes. Wavyl is designed so you can open tracks, playlists, artist pages, and discovery surfaces while the current track continues through the persistent player.

What are visualizers?

Visualizers are audio-reactive listening views that turn playback into a full-screen visual experience. They are part of Wavyl’s music-first identity and may behave differently by browser, device, and track.

Why did playback stop or fail to start?

Browser autoplay rules, network conditions, cached pages, mobile audio permissions, or a track-level issue can affect playback. Try tapping play again, refreshing the page, checking your volume, switching browsers, or reporting the track/page through Support.

Can I download music from Wavyl?

Some tracks may expose download actions when the creator or platform allows it. If no download option is shown, assume the track is available for streaming only.

Can I share tracks or playlists?

Yes. Public track, playlist, album, artist, and profile URLs can be shared. Sharing the Wavyl page is the best way to send someone to the right artist and listening context.

How do likes, follows, and listening history work?

When available, these features help Wavyl remember what you enjoy, make it easier to return to artists or tracks, and give creators more useful engagement signals.

Why do I see ads?

Wavyl may use advertising or measurement services to help support the platform. Ads and measurement tools must not be manipulated with automated traffic, forced clicks, or misleading behavior.

Artists and Creators

Can artists upload music to Wavyl?

Yes. Wavyl includes creator publishing tools for uploading tracks and building a public music presence. Some tools may continue to change as the platform develops.

Do I need payout information before signing up?

No. Wavyl is designed so you can create an account first, upload or explore creator tools, and connect payout details later when you are ready to receive eligible millix payments. Read more on Creator Payouts.

What can creators publish?

Creators should publish music, artwork, text, metadata, and profile material that they own or have the right to share. Original work and properly cleared material are the safest fit for Wavyl.

Can I upload covers, remixes, samples, or beats that use someone else’s work?

Only upload material if you have the rights, licenses, permissions, or legal basis needed to share it. If you are unsure, do not publish it until you have confirmed your rights.

Who owns the music I upload?

Creators retain ownership of the content they upload. By publishing on Wavyl, you give Wavyl the permissions needed to host, stream, display, promote, process, and operate that content as part of the platform.

How do artist profiles work?

Artist profiles help listeners find your tracks, playlists, identity, and activity in one place. Wavyl may connect uploaded music, artist taxonomy pages, and creator-owned profiles as the catalog grows.

Can I edit track details after publishing?

Creator editing tools may vary by account state and platform rollout. If you need help changing a title, artwork, artist link, description, or metadata, contact Support with the track URL and the requested change.

Can I remove my music?

If you need content removed or unpublished, use your available creator tools or contact Support with the exact Wavyl URL and the account or artist details connected to the work.

How are creator earnings calculated?

Wavyl may include listening, stats, wallet, token, payout, or earnings-related features. Those systems can evolve while Wavyl is under active development, and public payout guidance will be kept on the Creator Payouts page. The core direction is direct creator payment through millix rather than delayed, platform-held payout batches.

When should I add payout details?

Add payout details when you are ready to receive eligible millix payments or when Wavyl asks for the information needed to route creator payments. Keep wallet and payout details accurate to avoid delays or misdirected payments.

Do creators need to manage taxes or legal obligations?

Creators are responsible for their own tax, legal, rights, publishing, licensing, and business obligations. Wavyl’s public pages are practical platform guidance, not tax, legal, or financial advice.

Accounts and Support

I forgot my password. What should I do?

Use the login page’s password reset option if available. If you cannot regain access, contact Support with the email or username tied to the account.

How do I report a bug?

What happens after a takedown report?

Wavyl may remove or disable access to content that is the subject of a valid notice, may contact the uploader, and may take appropriate action for repeat or serious violations.

Where are the Terms and Privacy Policy?
