Provenance
Verify a license certificate
Every Starchild license comes with a certificate. Enter its number — printed at the top of the document, like SC-2026-123456 — to confirm it’s genuine.
Or verify the audio itself
No certificate? Upload the file — we check its signed credentials, listen for the forensic watermark, and match its sound against the entire catalog.
Certificates are one layer of three
Signed credentials. Every delivered file carries its song, writers, and license cryptographically signed into the file itself — verifiable by anyone against our published key at /.well-known/starchild-provenance.pub.
Forensic watermark & fingerprints. An inaudible identifier is woven into every licensed download, and the entire catalog is acoustically fingerprinted — a file can be traced to its original song even with everything stripped.
Anchored ledger. Every song registration and license lives in a hash-chained ledger, sealed daily to write-once storage and timestamped into the Bitcoin blockchain — records nobody, including us, can rewrite.
