We already have signed contracts. Why this?

Keep them. A contract says what was agreed. The ledger says what actually happened, use by use, and what each use is worth.

Is this a marketplace?

No. You bring your own deals and your own talent. INKAN is the rail underneath: it meters the use and carries the proof and the money.

How do you know each time a face is used?

Generation runs through the licence. Every output is logged against it at the moment it is made, sealed with the terms it was made under.

What if someone edits the record?

The seal breaks and the record fails every check from then on.

The royalty rail for real likeness EU AI Act, Article 50 · in force 02 August 2026

Generative AI runs on real faces. Nobody meters them.

A face can now work a thousand campaigns without a single shoot. INKAN meters every use, seals the terms it was used under, and makes sure the person behind the face is paid precisely for the work it did.

EVERY USE LOGGED. EVERY RECORD VERIFIABLE. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED.

Specimen ledger entry

Record: IN-2026-004182
Consent: Granted, on camera
Licence: Paid social, one campaign
Uses: 38 outputs, metered
Owed: Settles to the talent's agency
Seal: VALID

Every use of the face writes a line like this. Change one letter and the seal no longer reads VALID.

§ 1

The idea, in four sentences

A face now works like a song: used everywhere, endlessly, without the person in the room.
Songs got a royalty rail. Every play is logged and every artist is paid. Faces got a PDF in a drawer.
INKAN is that rail for real likeness: every use metered, every record sealed with who agreed, to what, and what it is worth.
Unmetered use is unpaid work.

§ 2

How the rail works

2.1

The person says yes, on their terms

Consent and licence terms are captured with the likeness itself and sealed with a cryptographic stamp. Scope, territory, price, expiry. A wax seal, except the wax is maths.

2.2

Every use writes to the ledger

Generation runs through the licence. Each output is logged against it at the moment it is made. The brand knows exactly what it used. The talent knows exactly what they are owed.

2.3

Everyone gets paid, precisely

The ledger settles to a statement no one has to argue about. Anyone can verify any record on the verify page, offline, no account needed.

§ 4

The EU AI Act makes this urgent

From 2 August 2026, the EU AI Act (Article 50) requires AI-generated content to be disclosed. Use a real person's likeness and the questions become: can you prove they agreed, and can you show what you used?

A paper contract takes days to find and says nothing about usage. A metered, sealed record answers both in seconds.

INKAN does not make the risk disappear. It gives you the proof you did it right, use by use, attached to the content, checkable by anyone.

(a) Sealed at capture, not signed off weeks later.
(b) Every use logged at the moment of generation.
(c) Verifiable offline. No call home, no API key.
(d) GDPR by design.

DEADLINE 02 August 2026

PENALTY Up to €15,000,000

or 3% of worldwide turnover, whichever is higher, for breaching transparency obligations. Article 99(4).
