Creative Commons Reimagined

Credentials, Recognition & Exchange of Digital Information and Trust

Remix, Attribute, Credit, Earn

Revolutionary platform enabling creators to allow unlimited remixing of their content. When online content remixers (DJs, Youtubers, LLMs etc.), producers, or collaborators credit the original creator, they automatically receive weighted revenue cuts through blockchain-verified attribution. Beyond creative works, verify college degrees, certificates, job history, achievements, and secure agreements like car sales with cryptographic trust.

Core Features

Smart Remixing Rights

Creators enable unlimited remixing with automatic attribution tracking. When DJs or producers credit originals, weighted revenue sharing activates instantly through smart contracts.

Credential Trust Network

Verify college degrees, professional certificates, job history, and achievements with cryptographic proof. Build tamper-proof professional profiles backed by institutional signatures.

Everyday Agreements

Secure car sales, rental agreements, freelance contracts, and personal transactions with legally binding digital signatures and blockchain verification.

Solana Blockchain

Ultra-low transaction costs ($0.0000075 per signature) with 65,000+ TPS throughput for real-time attribution tracking and instant micropayments.

Legal Compliance

Legally compliant e-signatures with OpenSign's API-driven architecture, supporting multi-signer workflows and comprehensive audit trails across jurisdictions.

Attribution Economics

Creator contribution networks modelved as weighted graphs with PageRank-style algorithms for fair revenue distribution based on usage and collaboration impact.

PROSPER License

Permissionless Reuse for an Open Society of Public & Enterprise Review

Open Source
Commercial Friendly
Blockchain Enabled

Open Source for a Creative Commons

Creators benefit when their works are remixed, reviewed, and redistributed, fostering a shared global culture of collaborative creation. The PROSPER License extends open source philosophy by integrating blockchain-based creator compensation with traditional licensing, creating a sustainable ecosystem where digital works can be freely shared while establishing fair compensation through community-driven funding.

"Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" — while ensuring creators receive recognition and compensation through transparent, automated systems.

Dual Licensing Structure

Open Source Tier

Annual Revenue Under $5M USD

  • • Free commercial use within threshold
  • • Include copyright notice and attribution
  • • Share derivatives under same license
  • • PROSPER Credit participation optional
Commercial Tier

Annual Revenue $5M+ USD

  • • Separate commercial license required
  • • PROSPER Credit system participation
  • • Enterprise support available
  • • Additional rights and reduced obligations

PROSPER Credit System

Privacy-Preserving Tracking

Blockchain-based logs with cryptographic proof while maintaining user privacy through zero-knowledge protocols.

Automated Distribution

PROSPER tokens distributed based on:

  • • Normalized usage metrics
  • • Community reputation scores
  • • Collaboration multipliers
  • • Weighted contribution analysis
Fair Compensation

Token pools funded by:

  • • If LLM "chat answer" uses your content or remixes content for training, the LLM provider may license all PROSPER content
  • • Voluntary user contributions from creators and supporters who believe in fair compensation
  • • Commercial license fees from enterprises exceeding the $5M revenue threshold
  • • Community grants and funding initiatives supporting the ecosystem
  • • Integration partnerships with platforms and service providers
  • • Ad revenue sharing from platforms hosting PROSPER-licensed content
  • • Cross-platform distribution fees from federated networks and social media

All PROSPER-licensed content may be freely rehosted on any platform—federated news sites, video platforms, photo galleries, social networks, and more. However, platforms must share ad revenue proportionally with PROSPER Credits. This revolutionary approach allows anyone from teenagers worldwide to major corporations to reuse and remix artists' work without permission, as long as proper attribution is given. It enables big companies to instantly leverage culture for growth and advertising while ensuring creators receive fair compensation through the blockchain-verified attribution system.

Stakeholder Benefits

Individual Developers

Unrestricted access with optional PROSPER Credit participation for recognition and compensation.

Small Businesses

Free commercial use up to $5M revenue—substantial growth room before commercial licensing.

Large Enterprises

Clear licensing pathways with legal certainty and enterprise support while ensuring fair creator compensation.

Trust Through Verification

Education

Verify degrees, certifications, and academic achievements with institutional backing.

Employment

Build verified work history with employer-signed records and performance metrics.

Achievements

Document victories, awards, and accomplishments with cryptographic proof.

Identity

Establish trusted digital identity for secure transactions and agreements.

Privacy-First Credential Verification

Selective Disclosure Mechanisms

Advanced cryptographic techniques enable granular attribute sharing while maintaining complete privacy control

Merkle Tree Architecture

Each credential is structured as a Merkle tree where individual attributes form leaf nodes. Users can selectively reveal specific attributes by providing relevant Merkle proofs while keeping other attributes completely private.

BLS Signature Integration

Boneh-Lynn-Shacham signatures provide efficient aggregation and verification of multiple credential attributes with minimal computational overhead.

Sophisticated Use Cases

Prove graduation from an accredited institution without revealing the specific school

Demonstrate employment history duration without revealing company names

Confirm professional licensing without exposing license numbers or personal details

Validate certification levels without revealing examination scores

Seamless System Integration

GitHub & Developer Credentials

Comprehensive developer credentialing beyond code contributions and repository metrics.

Educational background verification

Professional experience validation

Cloud platform certifications

Open source contribution records

Academic Institution Integration

Standardized APIs connecting with existing student information systems.

Digital diploma issuance

Cross-institution verification

Selective transcript sharing

Professional Licensing Bodies

Blockchain-based licenses with built-in expiration and renewal mechanisms.

Automatic expiration tracking

Continuing education verification

Real-time disciplinary updates

Advanced Privacy & Security

Cryptographic Access Control

Multi-layered cryptographic access control ensures complete user sovereignty over credential data.

Hierarchical Key Management

Generate derived keys for specific purposes without exposing master private keys

Time-Limited Access

Temporary access keys automatically expire to minimize exposure risk

Multi-Signature Requirements

High-value credentials require verification from multiple trusted parties

Privacy-Preserving Verification

Privacy by design principles ensure verifiers receive only minimum necessary information.

Attribute-Based Disclosure

Share individual attributes like degree field without revealing institution or graduation date

Predicate Proofs

Mathematical proofs about credential attributes without revealing exact values

Biometric Integration

Enhanced security through biometric authentication for credential presentation

Universal Credential Verification System

This comprehensive approach creates a universal credential verification system that addresses the limitations of traditional centralized credentialing while providing enhanced security, privacy, and user control through cryptographic access mechanisms. The blockchain-based architecture ensures tamper-proof credential storage while enabling flexible, privacy-preserving verification processes across multiple domains and use cases.

How It Works

1. Create & License

Upload content with Creative Commons licensing, set remixing permissions, and establish attribution requirements through smart contracts.

2. Remix & Credit

DJs and creators remix freely while blockchain automatically tracks attribution and triggers revenue sharing when credited properly.

3. Earn & Verify

Receive weighted token distributions based on usage impact while building verified credential profiles for trust and reputation.
