# 0xSplits By [sweetman](https://paragraph.com/@sweetman) ยท 2022-04-15 --- _split on-chain income (royalties, partnerships, DAOs)_ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/aa67713954f257a8b714b9666fbd76cb.png) 0xSplits is an [open-source](https://etherscan.io/address/0x2ed6c4b5da6378c7897ac67ba9e43102feb694ee#code), [audited](https://github.com/0xSplits/splits-contracts/blob/main/audit/0xSplits_A-1.pdf), and non-upgradeable protocol for efficiently splitting onchain income. Whenever a Split receives funds, each recipient gets their share. Simple enough for friends, secure enough for anons. * **Unstoppable:** [deployed](https://github.com/0xSplits/splits-contracts) (non-upgradeable) on ETH mainnet [here](https://etherscan.io/address/0x2ed6c4B5dA6378c7897AC67Ba9e43102Feb694EE#code). * **Free:** [0xSplits](https://docs.0xsplits.xyz/#community) is a **public good that's free to use.** The protocol runs exactly at gas cost and charges no fees whatsoever. * **Valuable:** [Controller](https://docs.0xsplits.xyz/core-concepts#mutable-split) has the ability to modify the Recipients and Distributor Fee, transfer control of the Split to a new Controller, or make the Split immutable (removing the Controller entirely). * **Expansive:** [Distributor fee](https://docs.0xsplits.xyz/core-concepts#distributor-fee) incentivizes third parties to pay the gas needed to distribute a Split's balance, while making the distribution cost borne by Recipients. This fee may be set to 0 for manual or progressive distributions. * **Permissionless:** [Each Split](https://docs.0xsplits.xyz/#features) exists **entirely onchain** and the actions necessary for the protocol to operate are incentivized & permissionless. * **Positive sum:** [Mint Songs](https://github.com/Invisible-Goods/0xSplits-Wrapper) and other platforms are building on 0xSplits. Using 0xSplits, enables companies focus on building the best toolset for musicians while offering on-chain split royalties as a built-in feature. * **Credibly neutral:** all users are treated the same on the 0xSplits protocol. No special access. Everyone benefits equally. --- *Originally published on [sweetman](https://paragraph.com/@sweetman/0xsplits)*
