Hold $500+ SUEDE, mint with no protocol fee
Standard mints carry a 0.5% protocol fee in USDC. Holders bypass it — same $500 floor used across the platform.
A $10,000 sync license saves $50 in fees per mint. Active licensors keep SUEDE in wallet.

How it works
Five steps from terms to a verifiable, on-chain license.
Each license is a rights envelope bound to one work, signed by the rights holder, and anchored on Base. Buyers query the chain — not a PDF, not an email thread — to confirm the rights they're paying for actually exist.
- 01Pick the work
Select any track in your catalog. The work's registry hash anchors the license.
- 02Configure terms
Type, commercial use, derivatives, exclusivity, territory, term length, price.
- 03Mint on Base
One signature. Terms commit to the license registry contract. Gas covered.
- 04Attach to the work
The license travels with the work ID. Distribution, sync, and resale see it.
- 05Verify in one click
Anyone with the work hash can query the chain and confirm the rights in under 2s.

The license is not a PDF wrapper. It is a programmable rights envelope on Base, queryable by hash, attached to the same work ID the registry already anchors.
What the license carries
Every Suede license travels with the work, the terms, and the payout path.
- Layer 04Royalty routing
Payouts route through the same RoyaltyDistributor contract that powers the registry. No off-chain ledger.
- Layer 03Programmable terms
Type, commercial flag, derivative flag, exclusivity, territory, term. Patent-pending USPTO 63/947,120.
- Layer 02License registry (Base)
Smart contract on chain ID 8453. Mint event is the canonical record. No intermediary.
- Layer 01Work hash binding
The license is bound to a specific registry hash. One signature, one work, no ambiguity.
- Layer 00Verification surface
/verify takes a hash and surfaces the license, owner, and royalty state in under two seconds.
About Suede licenses
One module, one signature, one envelope. The creator surface is intentionally narrow because the heavy lifting — binding, anchoring, royalty routing, and enforceability — happens automatically beneath it.
- 5 license typesSync, Sample, Master, Stem, Custom. Each maps to a vetted template covering ~90% of real-world deals.
- Programmable termsCommercial use, derivatives, exclusivity, territory, term length. Toggle once, signed once, enforced on chain.
- Verifiable in <2sAnyone with the work hash can query the license registry and confirm the rights before paying. No email thread.
- Royalty rails baked inPayouts route through the existing RoyaltyDistributor contract. Splits travel with the license, not a side ledger.
Why holding SUEDE matters here
The license surface has its own SUEDE utility levers. Three live, all from v1.
Priority placement on the marketplace
Licenses minted by holders surface first in the Suede marketplace search and the agent commerce discovery feed. Same T0–T4 ladder used elsewhere.
T3+ licenses get pinned placement and inclusion in the curated buyer drop list.
Royalty kicker on every active license
Licenses minted by holders earn a tiered kicker on every payout the registry routes — same kicker structure as the investor and creator yield bonuses elsewhere.
- T2 $500 – $5k +5%
- T3 $5k – $50k +15%
- T4 $50k+ +30%
T4 licensors compound on every active deal. Demand from real licensors, not speculators.
