Registry · anchored on Base · 8453
The Suede registry lives on Base mainnet (chain ID 8453). Every registered work, every license, every split mutation hits the chain and stays there. This page is the live mirror — the source of truth that powers verification, royalty routing, and marketplace listings.

How registration works
The registry is the spine. Every studio render, every upload, every license, and every split routes through the same primitive: a sealed work ID, committed to Base, addressable forever.
The asset is hashed and bound to a creator key. The work ID is unique, verifiable, and travels with the file everywhere.
Title, creator, asset hash, and timestamp commit to the Suede registry contract on Base mainnet (chain ID 8453).
Each registered work exposes a license slot. Programmable terms can attach at registration or any later block.
Royalty splits get bound to the work ID. Every payout the registry detects routes to the right wallet, on-chain, no human in the loop.
Verification queries the chain, not us. Sync supervisors, labels, AI training services, and individuals all see the same source of truth.
The registry is not a database with a chain badge stuck on top. It is a contract on Base, addressable by anyone, replaceable by no one.
Where the registry sits
Marketplace listings, sync placements, and DSP deliveries all reference the same registry record. No re-registration step at distribution time.
The distributor consumes splits attached to the registry record. Monthly cadence, no human in the loop. Patent-pending USPTO 63/947,120.
Splits, territory, royalty caps, and consent live as on-chain rules bound to the work ID. Buyers verify before they pay.
The on-chain object: asset hash, creator key, timestamp, license slot. Replaceable by no one, addressable by anyone.
Hash + creator-key signature. The proof object that follows the work everywhere it travels, on or off chain.
The registry is the Suede primitive that everything else — vaults, studio, marketplace, royalties — reads from. One canonical record per work, one source of truth for everyone querying the rights state.
A registry that is not on chain is just a database. Three things are only true because the Suede registry is a contract, not a service.
Anyone — a sync supervisor, a label, an AI training service, a buyer — can query Base directly to confirm authorship, license, and royalty state. Suede is not the gatekeeper, the chain is.
Sub-2-second verification, zero off-chain trust, no API key required to read the source of truth.
Royalty splits attached to the registry record are enforced by the distributor contract on Base. If Suede the company stops shipping tomorrow, the splits keep routing.
Programmable rights envelopes, contract-enforced, no clawback path. The contract is the marketing.
LayerZero bridges cross-chain registration intent into the canonical Base record. The work has one ID across every chain, even when the creator's wallet does not.
Solana-native creators, EVM-native investors, and Base-native protocols all reference the same registry object. One spine, many arms.
