Tribute — get credited, get paid

Prove you wrote it. Get paid when a machine reads it.

Register a work and only its hash reaches the public Solana ledger — the words stay sealed. Anyone can read the creator's preview. When a person or an AI agent wants the whole thing, they pay on-ledger first, and the creator is credited by name.

How it works

• The record is public. A hash, the creator's identifier and the licence terms, checkable against the ledger.
• The work is not. Text or files are sealed with a key the catalogue never holds. Cheap machine licences buy a bounded excerpt, never the source.
• Payment comes first. An agent meets an HTTP 402, pays in SOL, and only then receives a single-use grant and a signed receipt.

What this does not do: prove you thought of it first, or stop anyone who obtains the text elsewhere. Registration is evidence of possession at a moment in time — not a copyright, and not a patent. A preview is the creator's own description; the ledger does not vouch for it.
