Revenue Share
Earn money when approved partners license your signed content. Revenue is attributed based on your content in the licensed corpus.
Content licensing
Earn revenue from your signed content
Opt in to the coalition and earn revenue when approved partners license your signed content. Encypher negotiates for the member cohort, you approve every deal, and enforcement and analytics are built in.
What you receive
Revenue share, enforcement, and analytics
Signing is free on every Encypher plan. Licensing is a choice you make: opt in to the coalition, or run your own deals on Encypher infrastructure.
Enforcement
Cryptographic proof of authorship backs every licensing claim. Unauthorized use is documented with tamper-evident evidence chains.
Analytics
Track which content is licensed, by whom, and how much revenue it generates. Full visibility into your content licensing pipeline.
Collective Bargaining
Members who opt in benefit from Encypher negotiating for the whole cohort. Scale creates leverage that individual publishers cannot achieve alone.
The process
How it works
From signing to revenue in four steps.
1
Sign Your Content
Publish with Encypher. Every document gets a cryptographic signature with your licensing terms embedded. Signing is free and does not enroll you in anything.
2
Opt In to the Coalition
Join via a separate, clearly labeled agreement. Membership is off by default and is never triggered by mere use of the service. Once you opt in, your signed content is indexed in the licensing marketplace.
3
Partners License Your Work
Encypher negotiates structured agreements with AI companies and content platforms. You approve every deal before your content is included.
4
You Earn Revenue
Coalition-brokered deals pay out as AI companies adopt provenance-checked licensing. The majority of every coalition deal goes to you; exact terms are in your coalition agreement. Track earnings, licensed content, and partner activity from your dashboard.
The agreement
What the agreement says
The mechanics live in our Terms of Service, in the same words used here. The founding member cohort is now forming.
Opt-in via a separate agreement
Coalition membership is off by default. It takes effect only when an authorized administrator affirmatively opts in on a separate, clearly labeled screen, never by mere use of the service. Signing content grants Encypher no license to your work.
You approve every deal
Membership grants a non-exclusive right of first offer, not blanket authority. No deal includes your content until you approve it.
One revenue model
The majority of every coalition deal goes to you; exact terms are in your coalition agreement. Direct deals you negotiate yourself are 100% yours, and AI companies pay Encypher a separate verification fee.
Withdrawal rights
You can withdraw from the coalition at any time. Withdrawal does not affect deals you have already approved. The founding member cohort is now forming.
Full mechanics are in Section 6.7 of our Terms of Service.
Choose your path
Two licensing tracks
Choose how your content is licensed. Coalition members opt in and let Encypher negotiate. Self-Service publishers manage their own deals.
