For Artists

Two ways to publish. You choose.

Option 1: Bring Your Own Identity 0% fee

  1. Use your own Nostr profile
  2. We sign & publish to Nostr using your keys (ephemeral signing)
  3. Your Nostr lightning address receives 100% of sats

Full control. Your keys, your music.

Option 2: IndieSats Publishes For You 2% fee

  1. Link your track
  2. Add your Lightning address for payments
  3. We sign & publish to Nostr — instant discovery on IndieSats

No Nostr account needed. We handle everything.

Extra Reach (Recommended)

Tracks are automatically discoverable on IndieSats and Nostr. Want more?

We generate an RSS feed for your tracks. You submit it to PodcastIndex to appear on Wavlake, Podcast Guru, and other v4v apps (Optional).

🚀

Set It and Forget It

Submit your RSS feed to PodcastIndex once. That's it. Seriously.

Every new track you publish via indiesats.com automatically appears in podcast apps. No re-submission of RSS feed. No extra steps — we just update it behind the scenes from your Nostr posts.

🔄

One Change, Every Track Updates

Change your lightning address, profile picture, or artist name in your Nostr profile — every track you've ever published updates instantly. No re-submission to Podcast Index. No broken RSS feeds. Because your payment info lives on Nostr, not in our database.

Lightweight & Portable

We don't store your audio files, metadata, or RSS feeds.

All that lives on Nostr relays and your file host (Dropbox, etc.). IndieSats is just a thin layer that connects the dots. This means we can move servers, change hosting, or relocate without any data migration. Point the domain to a new IP and everything just works.

⚡

Why Nostr?

Nostr is a simple, open protocol for social networks. Your npub is your identity. Your events are your data. No platform can deplatform you. No algorithm can hide your music. It's punk rock for the internet.

🔒

Zero Custody

We never hold your sats. We never hold your keys. We never hold your music. Indiesats discovers tracks via RSS feeds and connects you to artists on Nostr — a window, not a platform. No database, no accounts, no control.
