Origin Protocol — An Open Standard for Creator Authenticity
What I Built
Origin Protocol is a fully open, platform‑agnostic standard for proving who created what, when, and how. It gives creators a cryptographically verifiable “seal” for their content and gives platforms a deterministic way to validate authenticity without relying on blockchain, tokens, or proprietary systems.
The protocol includes:
• a creator-side sealing workflow
• a platform verification SDK
• a ledger API for revocation and trust checks
• a governance bootstrap for trust anchoring
• a policy system for strict/standard/permissive verification
• a pair of experimental identity modules inspired by my earlier R&D (LYRA)
Everything is open-source, deterministic, and built to be adopted by platforms with minimal friction.
This project matters to me because creators — especially small, independent ones — deserve a way to protect their work without needing money, legal teams, or specialized knowledge. Origin is my attempt to give them that.
