Canonical Content Registry Foundation

Today, there is no reliable way to persist metadata for digital media as it travels across the internet.

Mine is working to build a global content registry on top of the Bitcoin blockchain to serve as an open metadata layer for canonical representations of digital media.

The goal of such a registry is to enable a new decentralized hypermedia protocol that powers the next generation of digital content applications, where creators and consumers to own their media, identity and interactions across the internet, without dependency on industrial or platform gatekeepers.

In March, we published a high level summary of how such such a system could work, titled the Canonical Content Registry. Today, we are taking the first steps to start building it by sharing a proposal for a technical implementation on top of Blockstore. We welcome your feedback and look forward to starting a conversation.
