The consent seal
for the AI content economy.
Every brand compositing AI with real likenesses needs a provenance and licensing record. The EU AI Act requires it. Courts are already deciding who pays when it’s missing. INKAN seals the record... cryptographically, permanently, independently verifiable.
The liability is already landing.
A signed email won’t hold up... it can be edited, back-dated, or denied. A clicked checkbox can’t prove who clicked, when, or that a real, willing human did.
INKAN turns “trust us, they agreed” into a sealed, timestamped, self-proving record. Change one comma and the seal breaks... so everyone can tell.

Every consent, sealed the moment it’s given.
At the instant of agreement, INKAN signs the record with a private key and stamps it with a trusted third-party timestamp. The seal is maths... a verifiable proof bound to the exact terms and the exact moment.

印 (inkan) ... the Japanese personal seal, a person’s legal signature for centuries. We made it cryptographic.
Verify a seal yourself →License
LiveBrands and agencies issue a fixed-fee likeness licence... scope, territory, expiry, all sealed. The consent receipt travels with the asset across every render and downstream system.
Prove
LiveEvery action lands on an append-only audit ledger. One button re-checks the maths and confirms the whole history is intact... or points at the exact entry someone tried to change.
Capture
In developmentA consent ceremony, not a checkbox. The person signs once with a live face-scan; we bind the likeness to a jurisdiction-aware template, hash it, and write the seal. In active development.

Today: the admin dashboard for agencies and brands. Tomorrow: the API every AI content platform embeds to issue consent at the point of creation.
A creator uploads a likeness. The platform calls INKAN. A sealed consent record exists in milliseconds. The rights are provable forever.
The dashboard is Stripe Dashboard. The API is Stripe.js. INKAN is the consent rail for the AI content economy.
A rights-infrastructure team, not a software team learning rights.
Two decades building the mechanical-rights and royalty rails that pay artists when their music plays. He built INKAN’s ledger the same way... append-only, sealed, verifiable. Co-inventor and stack architect.
Commercial, buyer discovery, and the raise. Co-inventor. Took INKAN from a buyer conversation to a live, sealed, verifiable product. First hire this round: a senior infrastructure engineer.
Consent becomes infrastructure.
A working MVP today... sealed records, append-only audit, jurisdiction logic, regulator-ready packs, and a live likeness-licensing ledger. Open it and verify the maths yourself.
