We've raised $7.5M at a $100M valuation to build the creative asset clearinghouse.
Capital provided by @1kxnetwork and @bcap, with continued support from existing investors @RepublicCrypto, @animocabrands, @alumniventures, @avax, @SevenXVentures, @Sfermion_, and @solana.
AI collapsed the cost of creating music, video, and media. What it hasn't solved is how talent gets discovered, matched to the right label or agency, and paid.
KOR is the clearinghouse that closes that gap, built on @base.
Through the KOR clearinghouse, that content becomes discoverable, routable, and actionable at a scale that has never been possible before.
Banijay is the first of several institutional partnerships we'll announce over the coming weeks.
KOR has partnered with @BanijayUK, a leading content production and distribution group.
Banijay operates across 22 countries with a portfolio of over 130 production companies. Their content reaches billions of viewers across broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms.
This partnership brings their selection of IP into the KOR clearinghouse on Base.
Banijay produces over 100,000 hours of content annually across 200 territories worldwide, representing one of the largest volumes of entertainment assets in the world.
Tune into our X livestream tomorrow to hear from @djlittyritty, CEO of @KorProtocol 🎧
Ritty will be covering IP, his former life as a house producer and DJ, and KOR's mission as the clearinghouse for talent in the AI economy
AI has accelerated the volume of content entering the market, with 200 million people producing globally.
Less than 1% monetize meaningfully, because the infrastructure to route and settle talent to the right labels, agencies, and brands has never existed at scale.
KOR is designed to bring the next generation of creative assets onchain.
Join us for the first KOR AMA this Tuesday, July 21st at 1 PM UTC.
@djlittyritty will share the vision behind KOR and reveals what's coming for the clearinghouse.
This AMA will be hosted in our Discord 👇

AI solved production, but discovery and payment are still stuck in the past.

KOR is a two-sided market.
Creative assets enter on one side - verified, priced, and ready to move. Labels, agencies, brands, and platforms acquire them on the other.
Every transaction adds signal that improves the next match, the next price, the next deal. The clearinghouse compounds with every asset that flows through it.
Five products sit on top of this infrastructure, each mapped to an engine:
‣ KORUS (licensed remix assets)
‣ Pacer (asset-routing intelligence)
‣ Streamline (market signal for content)
‣ VRSNS (multi-platform asset distribution)
‣ KOR Hubs (recurring settlement for audience relationships).
