260,000 AI deepfakes.
That's how many tracks Sony says it has asked platforms to remove for impersonating its artists.
At that scale, takedowns aren't enough.
AI makes faking artists easy. We need to make proving the REAL artist easier.

@ansolas uses Certifyd Core because he is smart.
He owns his online Identity.

He is building the Certifyd Network.
Be like Ansolas.
Run your Core. ⚡️

AI can make music abundant. That could make the ARTIST more valuable.
When recordings become infinite, identity, history and real fan relationships become scarce.
AI can generate another song.
There can still only be one you. ⚡

AI voice rights are becoming machine-readable.
Voice-Swap joining DDEX is a sign of where this is going.
Permission needs to travel with the work.
Control should stay with the creator. ⚡

“CREATOR-OWNED” IS A LIE IF YOUR ACCOUNT LIVES ON SOMEONE ELSE’S SERVER.
Certifyd creators run Core on their own computers. Fan connects to them.
AVAILABLE NOW FOR CORE USERS. ⚡

Bots + AI music helped manufacture more than $10M in royalties in the Michael Smith fraud case.
That's the problem with treating attention like a customer relationship
A stream tells you something played. It doesn't tell you whether you have a customer

Robert Palmer died in 2003. His music didn't.
20+ years later, his catalog, recordings, name, image + likeness still have value.
Partners change. Platforms change. Technology changes.
The artist + work remain
That's why durable creator records matter

OpenAI just hired 3 former Patreon leaders to build for creators.
AI shouldn't become another place creators have to rebuild their identity + business.
Build great tools around creators. Let creators own the foundation.

SubmitHub says it's banning AI music, even if it costs them 10% of revenue. So, Spotify changes its rules, promotion changes upstream, and creators feel it.
Use the platforms. Just don't make them your only path to your audience.

$5M just went into helping musicians find missing royalties. That tells you how broken music data still is. #Notes.fm helps recover what's lost downstream. Certifyd asks: what if creators controlled the record upstream? ⚡https://t.co/tDC5JqrjNA #MusicIndustry
You can't put a price on failure.
Actually, I can.
Mine cost about $250K. 😂
But we'd already proven product-market fit.
The idea worked. The market around it failed.
So I took every expensive lesson from V1 and rolled it into Certifyd.

AI music is moving from permission after the fact to permission by design.
Suno v6 is an early signal.
If machines can create media in seconds, the infrastructure telling them who authorized what needs to move just as fast.
That's the opportunity.

Building my first platform taught me the problem wasn't me.
It was the architecture.
Every centralized platform has a custodian controlling the infrastructure.
If creators still depend on a platform owner, we haven't solved the problem.
Even if that platform owner is me.
The real idea behind Certifyd is to remove the custodian.
Own your identity. Own your work. Set your price. Deal directly with your audience.
Digital ownership isn't just control. It's accountability.
That's what self-governance looks like. #bitcoin#p2p#technology
UMG + ElevenLabs are building a separate licensed destination for fan remixes, mashups + reinterpretations.
More AI means more fragmentation.
Why Certifyd? Platforms can change. The creator's identity + relationship to their work should persist.
https://t.co/WMTA5Cc5xZ
Own your work. Own your infrastructure.
Run Certifyd Core. Control your data. Join the network on your terms.
Run Core + Bitcoin? Provide commerce services to other creators and earn.
That’s the network we’re building. #bitcoin#lightning#MusicMatters#creatorsunite
