About T3MPO HQ
We're not another streaming platform. We're the bridge between artists and listeners — and we reward both.
Our Mission
T3MPO HQ exists to close the gap between artists and their listeners. Too many platforms put the biggest names at the top and leave new artists invisible. We built something different — a platform where great sound rises on merit, listeners get real rewards for their loyalty, and artists get paid fairly.
We are the link. The bridge. The frequency that connects creator to consumer.
The T3MPO Algorithm
Our discovery algorithm is designed to prevent the rich-get-richer problem of most streaming platforms. Here's how it works:
Royalties & Artist Payments
T3MPO HQ uses a per-stream royalty model. Here's our recommended setup for the current phase:
| Tool / Service | Use Case | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| DistroKid Paid | Distribute songs to T3MPO & other platforms. Handles ISRC codes, licensing. | ~$23/yr |
| Stripe Free to start | Collect subscriber revenue. Pay out royalties via Stripe Payouts or Connect. | 2.9% + 30¢/txn |
| LemonSqueezy Free plan | Subscription billing alternative with built-in tax handling. Great starter option. | Free → 5% fee |
| Songtradr / SOCAN | Register songs for PRO royalties (public performance rights). | Free to register |
| Songtrust Paid | Collect publishing royalties globally from 40+ societies. | $100 setup + $25/yr |
| SoundExchange | Collect digital performance royalties for non-interactive streams (US). | Free |
💡 Our target payout rate: $0.004 – $0.006 per stream — above Spotify's average, in line with Tidal.
Security Architecture
📋 For production: add a Content Security Policy (CSP) header, HTTPS enforcement, Cloudflare WAF, and server-side rate limiting via Redis.

We reward listeners who show up every day. Here's the philosophy:
