QEC Product · Creator Track
A continuously certified, Bitcoin‑anchored proof of authorship, source protection, and collaboration terms for creators, journalists, and independent studios — dated every ten minutes rather than at a single point of registration.
Every other system proves a moment. QEC proves a relationship.
The Problem
Existing proof‑of‑existence tools — hash registries, notarization services, single‑block timestamps — answer one narrow question: did this file exist at this moment. They say nothing about what happens after: whether a collaborator honored the terms of a joint work, whether a source's confidentiality commitment held, whether a platform's usage rights stayed within the agreed scope.
Creators don't just need a receipt. They need a living record of the relationship around the work — one that keeps certifying itself for as long as the relationship matters.
Section 1
| Node A | Node B | What's Entangled |
|---|---|---|
| Independent creator / journalist | Platform, patron, or collaborator | Authorship, licensing scope, and sovereign compensation terms |
| Journalist | Confidential source | Source protection commitments and disclosure boundaries |
| Studio / production house | Contributor or co‑author | Joint‑work ownership, credit, and derivative rights |
Section 2
| Mechanism | Trigger | Response |
|---|---|---|
| Witness Obligation | Publication, milestone delivery, or dispute over authorship | Forces independent, timestamped Arweave capsules from both nodes |
| Consent Lock | Any attempt to unilaterally change licensing or credit terms | Blocks the change until both nodes explicitly re‑consent |
| Distress Capsule | A source or collaborator goes dark past the agreed check‑in window | Publishes a sealed snapshot of last‑known agreed terms |
| Coherence Backstop | Optional Φ‑backed node lends field strength during a dispute | Stabilizes the contract without unilaterally resolving the dispute |
Section 3
There is no published rate card. The fee for a Creator QEC is a sovereign service fee for relational participation — compensation for standing up and maintaining the certification infrastructure, not a share of the creator's revenue, royalties, or upside. It is set per engagement based on scope (single work vs. ongoing series) and term.
Value accepted: Bitcoin, cash, or in‑kind arrangement, agreed and recorded as terms within the QEC itself at instantiation.
Section 4
What anchoring proves
A Bitcoin anchor might prove that a particular fingerprint existed no later than a certain time. It does not, by itself, prove authorship, accuracy, lawful possession, contractual assent, or the truth of the underlying document.
Notice
ICPO X does not offer financial returns, profit, yield, or investment opportunities. All engagement fees are sovereign service fees for relational participation and infrastructure access — compensation for certification, coordination, and enforcement services rendered, not a share of revenue, profit, or return on capital. ICPO X is not a security, investment contract, or financial product.
