Content provenance
Verifiable
records of
how it was
made.
A toolkit for creators and platforms to record and communicate how content was created, building transparency and trust with audiences.

Selective disclosure built in
Trust is built
on knowing
where something
comes from.
Digital content is created through many steps. Human input, software tools, and sometimes AI models shape the final result across drafts, edits, and remixes.
Without a record of that process, it becomes difficult to see how something was made, who contributed, and where responsibility lies.
ProvenanceKit records the chain of creation so content can be understood, verified, and trusted.

Complete lineage
Granular capture
of the full creation
process.
ProvenanceKit captures the inputs and outputs at each step, the AI models and tools involved, and the people and organisations responsible. Granular enough for real attribution, not just a checkbox.

Authors, AI models, orgs

Generation, editing, remixing

Onchain provenance
Every step,
anchored
onchain.
Every creation step is independently anchored. Immutable, timestamped to the block, and verifiable by anyone. No server or central authority required.
Programmable rights
Provenance is
not a static
document.
It is an active layer of rights and rewards. Licensing enforces itself. Attribution routes automatically. Revenue reaches every contributor.
Programmable provenance
Provenance that
does something.
Onchain records are programmable. Provenance becomes the layer that governs rights, attribution, and revenue.
Permissioning
Provenance becomes the credential.
Gate access based on verified contribution history. License enforcement flows from the same record that documents creation.
Attribution
Credit follows contribution.
Every participant gets credit: authors, AI tools, dataset owners. Contribution weights are permanent and onchain.
Revenue
Revenue follows contribution.
Earnings route to contributors proportional to their verified contribution. Tracked and distributed automatically.
For developers
Add provenance
to anything.
A simple SDK for Node.js and TypeScript.
Record creation steps with onchain provenance.
// Initialize the SDK
import { ProvenanceKit } from "@provenancekit/sdk"
const pk = new ProvenanceKit({ storage, chain })
// Record a Human-AI creation step
const { bundleId } = await pk.record({
action: {
type: 'generation',
tool: 'gpt-4o',
extensions: [aiExtension({ model: 'gpt-4o' })]
},
inputs: [promptResource],
outputs: [generatedResource],
agents: [{ id: userId, role: 'author' }]
});
// Anchor to chain
await pk.anchor(bundleId);Built for every workflow
Everywhere humans
and AI create together.
