TRUST STACK

HCS anchors evidence, HTS governs asset state, EVM enforces rights and payouts.

IP REGISTRY LAYER

Creation events are hashed and timestamped. Provenance is append-only and externally auditable.

ARTIST NFT LAYER

NFT metadata references anchored IP proofs. License classes and ownership transitions are explicit.

LICENSE EXECUTION

EVM contracts bind usage rights, scope, and royalty percentages with deterministic payout routes.

SALVAGE INTERFACE MAP

Listing + inspection + commitment + pickup events are hashed to HCS. Commitment contracts encode penalties, waivers, and certification checks.

CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY + END STATE

Handoffs become append-only audit events. Unsalvageable loads can be attested through compost/energy endpoints (Wasatch Resource Recovery path).

Result: one verifiable timeline for logistics, compliance, IP provenance, artist NFTs, and royalty execution.

TRUST LAYER SUMMARY

Hedera is the fabric: IP integrity, NFT utility, and enforceable economics. Big picture: democratized data, broken silos, and one shared source of truth across operations, rights, and settlement.
