The first licensing framework for AI-agent payments

Protect your content.
Get paid by AI agents.

Capture combines C2PA content credentials, ERC-7053 on-chain registration, and x402 micropayments in one open stack — so creators stay compliant with EU AI Act Article 50 and earn USDC every time an AI agent fetches their work.

How it works

From capture to payment in one open stack

Sign with C2PA

Embed cryptographic provenance — creator identity, timestamp, geolocation, edit history — directly in every photo or video at capture time.

Register on-chain

ERC-7053 anchors a tamper-evident receipt to the Numbers Mainnet. Even if metadata is stripped, ownership and timeline remain provable.

Earn via x402

Each registered asset becomes an HTTP-native licensing endpoint. AI agents call the URL, pay USDC, and get an on-chain consent receipt in one round-trip.

What you get

Retain control. Earn revenue.

Easy integration

SDKs for iOS, Android, and Node.js plug into existing CMSs, DAMs, and AI pipelines. ISO 27001-certified C2PA signing API for high-volume publishers.

Decentralized storage

Every asset is anchored on the Numbers Mainnet with IPFS storage — secure, immutable, and long-lasting preservation that survives metadata stripping.

Programmable licensing

Define how your assets can be used. AI agents query x402 endpoints, pay $0.01-$1.00 USDC per fetch, and receive on-chain consent receipts.

Frequently asked questions

The basics, answered.

What is Capture?

Capture is the first blockchain licensing framework with x402 support. It combines C2PA Content Credentials, ERC-7053 on-chain registration, and HTTP-native AI-agent micropayments in a single open stack — letting creators protect their work, comply with content provenance regulations, and monetize automatically when AI agents fetch their assets.

How does Capture help comply with EU AI Act Article 50?

EU AI Act Article 50 (enforced August 2 2026) requires AI-generated content to be marked in machine-readable form. Capture combines two layers — embedded C2PA credentials inside the file, plus ERC-7053 on-chain registration — directly addressing the draft Code of Practice's "multi-layered approach" requirement. Non-compliance carries fines up to €15M or 3% of global revenue.

What is x402 and how does Capture support it?

x402 is the HTTP-native micropayment protocol stewarded by the x402 Foundation (Coinbase + Cloudflare). Capture is the first and only blockchain licensing framework with x402 — every signed and registered asset is exposed as a paid licensing endpoint that AI agents call directly, paying USDC and receiving an on-chain consent receipt in one round-trip.

What makes ProofSnap unique?

ProofSnap is the first and only mobile app (Android and iOS) that fulfills both C2PA Content Credentials and ERC-7053 on-chain registration in a single capture. Each photo and video is instantly licensable through the Capture pipeline, satisfying both EU AI Act Article 50 and California SB 942.
