Their mission is to create 'an open federated infrastructure to facilitate legitimate commerce for online content including commerce in ownership to to usage rights and digital objects'
They have a WordPress plugin, and are a member of the [[Content Authenticity Initative]] and [[C2PA]]. They use [[ISCC]] for identifiers, with a focus on text/imageds.
