Live creation meets real-time auctions. Inception lets fans collect work as it’s made—powered by TrustLogic to guarantee royalties and protect creator IP.
10/ 2 granted US patents. 2 pending. Working MVP.
If you're thinking about IP infrastructure, creator rights, or why high-value assets won't move on-chain — I'd love to talk.
Would love your thoughts, @cdixon.

1/ I've spent 20 years structuring high-value IP agreements.
Here's why major rights holders still won't put their catalogs on-chain — and why it's not a tech problem.
🧵
9/ And @InceptionLIVE because my partner — a musician/artist, with 2,000+ songs — had no real path to monetize any of it.
Think Bob Ross for Web3.
Create live. Auction the rights as it's being made. Proof of human creation on video — which matters more every day as AI floods the market.
Current status:
Built TrustLogic — patent-pending blockchain substrate that kills piracy, automates software licensing, guarantees creator royalties, secures AI data provenance, and makes tickets truly unscalable… all on one chain.
$70T TAM across four broken industries.
No VC will take a meeting yet. So yeah… patiently waiting for that one portfolio hit so I can finally get 15 minutes to explain why this actually matters.
If you’re a VC secretly reading this — my DMs are open and my calendar is tragically free.
#2 is the exact bottleneck we're solving at TrustLogic. We're building the programmable trust layer for on-chain assets: reusable, enforceable compliance (KYC/AML, jurisdiction rules, accreditation) that's embedded directly into tokens—no repeated per-project checks, no off-chain friction. It also enables revocation, protected transfers, and automatic royalty enforcement, making regulated RWAs finally feel native on-chain. This is why real-world assets have stayed off-chain for so long—compliance hasn't been programmable until now. Early integrations already live (IP, music, AI data permissions). Happy to demo how we plug the gap. DMs open 
CDR wasn’t the hard part — enforceability is. Story Protocol still hasn’t solved real rights control. That’s the piece TrustLogic already cracked. A simple integration unlocks true enterprise adoption: music licensing, AI training permissions, revocation, enforceable royalties, and compliant workflows. @a16z@polychain@hashed_official@SamsungNext@variantfund@ElectricCapital@Delphi_Labs @coinbaseventures Happy to demo how we bridge the gap and drive the usage Story needs. DMs open.
Programmable confidentiality is here.
Confidential Data Rails (CDR) turns encrypted data into onchain building blocks, paving the way for new privacy use-cases on Story and beyond.

@ElizabethTurner@Valkyrie_vc Curious if you’re looking at blockchain infrastructure that supercharges AI workflows and protects a $70T data TAM. Would love to share what we’re building.
Bob Ross did live painting before it was cool. Today it sells for $1M+.
Inception will let every creator have their own “Joy of Painting” moment — but with live, real-time auctions built in. Fans bid while the work is being created. Creators monetize instantly.
Different era. Same magic. New technology
On last week’s finale of “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver,” the host convinced the Bob Ross estate to auction another of the PBS TV star’s paintings to support public media. And it has paid off: Ross’ “Cabin at Sunset,” which he painted on a Season 10 episode of PBS’ “The Joy of Painting” in 1986, had fetched around $1,044,000 after 53 bids. https://t.co/6CJ5gCWSX7
Any investors interested in stablecoin privacy without relying on ZKPs?
Reg-aligned, enterprise-friendly, and built for real-world adoption.

@BadCapitalVC We developed a new Web3 enforcement layer with 10+ applications across IP, finance, AI dataset governance, CBDCs, and more.
It solves what blockchains still can’t: enforceability.
Our ticketing MVP is already live.
Would love to share more.
