1/ x402 works like a payment gateway for agents, settling in seconds

@djlittyritty on why @KorProtocol built its clearinghouse engine on @base: x402 and Base MCP were hard requirements

[Ritty @rittyweb3]

Yes, that's right. You can now create a track through a simple prompt IN SECONDS on KORUS, powered by KORUS MCP and Base MCP.

Creative assets are evolving.

[KOR @KorProtocol]

We asked Claude to make a track on KORUS.

KORUS MCP handled the creation. Base MCP handled the wallet and the payment.

This is what AiFi looks like in practice. With a single prompt, you can now go from an idea to a licensed track you own, settled in seconds on Base via x402.

Take a look 👇

The biggest shift in how creative work gets paid starts with KORUS on @base

Every transaction tied to a song, a remix, a license, is going to settle through an agent instead of a person. The infrastructure behind music payments has stayed the same for decades. This is about to move faster than any label or distributor can react to.

KORUS is live now. This is what AiFi looks like in production.

[KOR @KorProtocol]

Today, we're introducing KORUS: an ethical AI music remix platform, powered by x402 on Base.

On KORUS, you can:

‣ Remix official catalogues from artists
‣ Turn a raw stem into a finished remix with AI in minutes
‣ Help the original artist earn revenue every time their catalogue gets remixed

Remix culture has always been massive. It's never been legal, or paid. Now it's both.

[Ritty @rittyweb3]

Music streaming platforms generate billions in revenue every year, but the majority of artists producing the work see very little of it.

Contrary to popular belief, streaming is one of the smallest revenue sources for most artists. On Spotify, the average payout is between $0.003 and $0.005 per stream. You would need roughly 250,000 streams to earn $1,000, and most platforms will not let you withdraw until you hit a minimum threshold. That number is out of reach for most independent artists.

If you are not touring or getting radio play, the options are limited, and that has been the reality for a long time.

The conversation around AI in the music community has been dominated by fear. But I see it differently. The real opportunity is giving artists a new revenue stream. Instead of leaving your music idle, you can license it into immediate, direct income.

And through blockchain, royalties are paid instantly. No waiting months for a check. Permissionless, and settled in seconds.

Excited to reveal KORUS on Base 🟦

[KOR @KorProtocol]

Here's an exclusive look into KORUS, the ethical AI music remix platform on Base.

Licensing a remix has always been slow, often taking weeks before an idea gets out into the world. KORUS removes that wait for both the artist licensing their catalogue and the creator remixing it.

Watch the trailer for a first look.

We built KOR ID to be simple at its core: one account that every transaction and asset across the clearinghouse connects back to.

Every big industry has some kind of ID system, except creative assets. They sit scattered across different platforms with no way to connect to each other.

It never mattered as much as it does right now, because for the first time, it's not just people checking these records - it's agents. They need to know in a split second if something is real, and whether it's safe to pay for.

KOR ID is the door into our five live applications on KOR: Pacer, KORUS, Streamline, VRSNS, and KOR Hubs. None of them exist in isolation, and are all part of the same clearinghouse.

We are connecting industries that have never had a shared way to verify or move assets, and none of that works unless settlement is fast and cheap. That's exactly what Base gives us.

Mint your KOR ID. It's live now on Base 🟦

[KOR @KorProtocol]

Today, KOR ID is live on Base:

‣ Unlocks access to Pacer, KORUS, Streamline, VRSNS, and KOR Hubs
‣ Links every deal to a single verified identity
‣ Lets agents pay you the moment a deal closes

One account. Your gateway to every application across the entire clearinghouse.

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

We’re building a clearinghouse for talent in the AI economy on Base.

as a DJ himself and seeing how he works on a day to day basis, exciting things for KOR ahead.

[Crypto Fundraising #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 @Crypto_Dealflow]

On-chain interactive IP infrastructure @KorProtocol raised $7.5M in a Series A funding round led by @1kxnetwork, @blockchaincap, with participation from @RepublicCrypto, @Sfermion_, @alumniventures, @SevenXVentures.

[Ritty @rittyweb3]

@inderphull22 @KorProtocol Likewise 🙏

[Inder 👨🏽‍🎤💽🎥🔮🪬 @inderphull22]

Excited to work closely with @djlittyritty on the next phase of @KorProtocol growth! So many cool new products and tools to be revealed that build the foundation for IPs!

[Ritty @rittyweb3]

It's a privilege that I step into the role of KOR’s CEO.

We're building the clearinghouse for talent in the AI economy: the system that lets artists get discovered, matched to the right label or agency, and paid the moment a deal lands. AI has made it possible for anyone to create at a professional level. However, the infrastructure connecting that talent to opportunity hasn't kept up, and closing that gap is a responsibility I hold seriously.

With the support of our team and the partners who believed in this early, I've taken on this role to make sure we meet what the industry actually needs: a system that works at the speed and scale entertainment now demands.

The foundation we've built is strong. Six products. Institutional partners across music and entertainment. And a settlement layer built on @base, because it's the only place shipping the infrastructure a clearinghouse like this requires.

My focus from here:

1. Bringing established artists, labels, and entertainment companies onto Base
2. Building alongside the Base community and team. Our mission to bring real-world industries onchain is the same one they're building toward.
3. Shipping the products and tech that make the clearinghouse useful from day one, with more to share in the weeks ahead.

Excited for this next chapter!

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.
