We've raised $7.5M at a $100M valuation to build the creative asset clearinghouse.
Capital provided by @1kxnetwork and @bcap, with continued support from existing investors @RepublicCrypto, @animocabrands, @alumniventures, @avax, @SevenXVentures, @Sfermion_, and @solana.
AI collapsed the cost of creating music, video, and media. What it hasn't solved is how talent gets discovered, matched to the right label or agency, and paid.
KOR is the clearinghouse that closes that gap, built on @base.

The volume of work entering the market has never been higher, and the odds of any single piece being found have never been lower.
Meanwhile, labels and brands are paying record sums for talent they discovered years too late. Both sides of this market want the same thing, but neither has a system to reach the other.
KOR sits between them as the clearinghouse, with discovery, routing, and settlement in one place.

KORUS is Top 10 for x402 volume across all chains today.
Every one of those transactions is an agent paying a producer for a creative asset on the KORUS Marketplace, settled on Base.

These transactions come from live product usage.
KORUS is where producers upload stems and set their own license terms. Agents discover those listings through KORUS MCP and pay for them per use through Base MCP.
Today, we're introducing KORUS: an ethical AI music remix platform, powered by x402 on Base.
On KORUS, you can:
‣ Remix official catalogues from artists
‣ Turn a raw stem into a finished remix with AI in minutes
‣ Help the original artist earn revenue every time their catalogue gets remixed
Remix culture has always been massive. It's never been legal, or paid. Now it's both.

1/ AI collapsed the cost of creation to almost zero. Anyone can make studio-grade music or film now.
@djlittyritty on the gap that opened: content is flooding the market while labels, agencies and brands find it harder than ever to spot talent worth signing. @KorProtocol is building a clearinghouse to route talent to the right labels

You know the feeling of losing an hour digging through samples? That part is over.
Ask Claude for the sound you want and it searches the KORUS Marketplace, licenses the stem it finds, and starts building on it.
KORUS MCP handles the search and the remix. Base MCP covers the wallet and settles the license 👇

@djlittyritty on why @KorProtocol built its clearinghouse engine on @base: x402 and Base MCP were hard requirements

We asked Claude to make a track on KORUS.
KORUS MCP handled the creation. Base MCP handled the wallet and the payment.
This is what AiFi looks like in practice. With a single prompt, you can now go from an idea to a licensed track you own, settled in seconds on Base via x402.
