The Source Protocol invisibly adds authorship information to text, down to the character level. This means you can add a “fingerprint” to sentences, phrases, and words, and even every single a, b, and c or x, y, and z that’s yours.
Monetize
Source provides best-in-class protection against the unauthorized usage of text. That means monetization with real leverage. Our tech serves as a gateway for monetized and/or approved RAG and training requests from model providers and argentic systems.
