Franchising on PYRAX
Franchising scales a brand across independent operators, but royalty collection, brand-standard enforcement, and financial transparency between franchisor and franchisee are chronically manual and contested. PYRAX automates royalty and fee flows as programmable recurring payments, settles them instantly, and puts sales and compliance data on a shared ledger both sides can trust without exposing each franchisee's raw numbers.

What's broken today
How PYRAX transforms it
Concrete network elements mapped to this business.
Programmable royalty payments
Royalties and marketing-fund contributions are computed and remitted automatically as a percentage of on-chain sales each period, ending manual invoicing and collection disputes.
Shielded sales with viewing keys
Each franchisee's sales are ZK-shielded, but a scoped viewing key gives the franchisor exactly the aggregate it needs for royalties and audit without exposing full transaction detail.
BLS finality for fee settlement
Royalty and supply payments settle in one irreversible block, giving the franchisor predictable, instant cash flow instead of chasing net-terms remittances.
Provenance for brand-standard supply
Approved-supplier purchases are anchored on-chain, so the franchisor can verify each location sources compliant inputs rather than off-brand substitutes.
Interoperable brand-wide loyalty
A single user-owned loyalty program spans every franchised location, so points earned at one operator redeem at any other with instant, on-chain reconciliation between owners.
