IP licensing, built on Robinhood Chain
License internet IP. Prove it onchain.
Pawthorize turns characters, artwork, photography, brands, and other creative assets into structured licenses that can be signed, paid for, issued, and verified on Robinhood Chain.
Launching with Pooch - the actual dev's actual dog.

The internet is full of valuable IP that nobody knows how to license.
Traditional licensing is fragmented across email threads, PDFs, invoices, and informal permission. Pawthorize unifies agreement, payment, credential, and asset delivery under one license ID.
Traditional licensing
- Scattered emails and attachments
- Manual payment reconciliation
- Hard to prove who has rights
- Asset delivery over ad-hoc links
Pawthorize
- Structured offer and signed agreement
- Onchain settlement in USDG or POOCH
- Publicly verifiable License Credential
- Gated delivery of exact asset versions
Benefits for IP owners

Pawthorize does not replace the legal agreement. It makes that agreement easier to issue, administer, pay for, and verify.
How it works
- Register the IP and assets. Publish property metadata and versioned packs.
- Publish a license offer. Define price, duration, and structured rights.
- Buyer reviews, signs, and pays. Wallet-signed agreement plus settlement.
- Credential is issued and publicly verifiable. Same license ID across agreement, payment, credential, and asset manifest.
Why onchain
Tamper-evident hashes
Agreement and asset hashes stay auditable.
Wallet-linked authorization
Licensee identity is the controlling wallet.
Transparent settlement
Payments settle on Robinhood Chain.
Machine-readable permissions
Structured rights travel with the credential.
Verifiable lifecycle events
Issuance, renewal, suspension, and termination leave a trail.
Portable public verification
Share a verify link without exposing private buyer details.
The controlling legal agreement grants the rights. The blockchain credential records and verifies the agreement; possession of a token alone does not create unspecified intellectual-property rights.
Why Robinhood Chain
- Ethereum-compatible Layer 2.
- EVM tooling and Solidity compatibility.
- Efficient settlement for license issuance and payments.
- Alignment with real-world asset and programmable ownership use cases.
- Canonical USDG support on mainnet.
- Public Blockscout verification.
- Future compatibility with account abstraction and sponsored transactions.

FAQ
Does the credential itself grant the license?
No. The signed agreement grants the rights. The credential records and verifies issuance and status.
Does the buyer own the underlying IP?
No. A license authorizes defined uses. It does not transfer ownership of the underlying IP unless an agreement expressly says so.
Can a license be transferred?
Credentials are non-transferable by default. Assignment or sublicensing follows the signed agreement.
What information is public?
Property, offer, wallet addresses, status, hashes, and structured rights summaries. Legal name, email, and private files stay private.
Why is the full agreement not public?
Agreements may contain private commercial terms. Public surfaces show hashes and summaries so integrity can be checked without exposing the full text.
What payment methods are supported?
Free claims, USDG, and POOCH where an offer enables them. Gas is paid by the user unless sponsorship is explicitly shown as active.
Is this an NFT marketplace?
No. Pawthorize is licensing infrastructure. Credentials are non-transferable records of licenses, not speculative collectibles.
Is Pawthorize affiliated with Robinhood?
Pawthorize and Pooch are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Robinhood Markets, Inc. or its affiliates unless expressly stated by an authorized party.
