A blockchain-verified bridge between high-profile talent and the generative AI ecosystem — replacing piracy with provenance.
The generative AI revolution has created a silent economy of identity theft. AI models are trained on, and reproduce, celebrity likenesses, voices, and personas without consent or compensation. The creator receives nothing. The brand assumes all liability.
Two regulatory frameworks now make this untenable: California SB 683 (effective 2026) and the EU AI Act (August 2026) both impose strict liability on operators of AI systems that produce "Digital Replicas" without a documented, auditable license. The window to act is closing.
Traditional talent licensing takes months of negotiation. AI content creation takes seconds. This asymmetry has created a compliance vacuum that aIdentity is designed to fill.
aIdentity operates across three interdependent layers, each purpose-built for its role in the licensing lifecycle.
Encrypted LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) weights representing talent facial and voice biometrics, stored in a hybrid PostgreSQL + IPFS/Arweave model. Every asset carries C2PA provenance metadata — immutable, auditable, and tamper-evident.
An Ethereum Layer 2 (Arbitrum/Polygon) smart contract system using the ERC-1155 multi-token standard. Funds are held in escrow upon API call and released to the talent's wallet upon verified generation — with no human intermediary required.
A Node.js/TypeScript API bridge backed by a Python FastAPI inference engine. Every generated asset is watermarked with a cryptographic identity hash — linking output back to its licensed source irrevocably.
aIdentity does not rely on talent teams to police infringement. Our enforcement engine runs continuously: AI-driven scanners monitor social media and ad networks for identity hash matches, cross-referencing every URL and brand against the on-chain ledger in real time.
When an unauthorised use is detected, the system issues a blockchain-stamped Cease & Desist, files programmatic takedowns via C2PA-compliant platform APIs, and opens a 24-hour Settlement Portal — offering retroactive licensing at 2× standard cost. Legal recovery is automated. Proceeds are shared with the talent.
aIdentity earns through three complementary streams: a 15–20% platform commission on every successful API generation; enterprise SaaS tiers (€500–€5,000/month) providing ad agencies access to Talent Search and the Compliance Dashboard; and a 30% success fee on automated legal settlements recovered from infringers.
The model is designed so that every actor — talent, brand, and platform — has aligned incentives. Compliance is not a cost; it is the product.
The convergence of regulatory enforcement, technological capability, and market readiness makes 2026 the precise moment this infrastructure must exist. SB 683 and the EU AI Act create mandatory demand. The maturity of Ethereum L2 and C2PA standards supply the technical primitives. aIdentity assembles them into a single, auditable system.
We are not building a product. We are building the compliance infrastructure the generative AI industry will depend on.
We are onboarding a select group of talent agencies, brands, and enterprise partners ahead of our private beta.
