We built KOR ID to be simple at its core: one account that every transaction and asset across the clearinghouse connects back to. Every big industry has some kind of ID system, except creative assets. They sit scattered across different platforms with no way to connect to each other. It never mattered as much as it does right now, because for the first time, it's not just people checking these records - it's agents. They need to know in a split second if something is real, and whether it's safe to pay for. KOR ID is the door into our five live applications on KOR: Pacer, KORUS, Streamline, VRSNS, and KOR Hubs. None of them exist in isolation, and are all part of the same clearinghouse. We are connecting industries that have never had a shared way to verify or move assets, and none of that works unless settlement is fast and cheap. That's exactly what Base gives us. Mint your KOR ID. It's live now on Base 🟦

It's a privilege that I step into the role of KOR’s CEO. We're building the clearinghouse for talent in the AI economy: the system that lets artists get discovered, matched to the right label or agency, and paid the moment a deal lands. AI has made it possible for anyone to create at a professional level. However, the infrastructure connecting that talent to opportunity hasn't kept up, and closing that gap is a responsibility I hold seriously. With the support of our team and the partners who believed in this early, I've taken on this role to make sure we meet what the industry actually needs: a system that works at the speed and scale entertainment now demands. The foundation we've built is strong. Six products. Institutional partners across music and entertainment. And a settlement layer built on @base, because it's the only place shipping the infrastructure a clearinghouse like this requires. My focus from here: 1. Bringing established artists, labels, and entertainment companies onto Base 2. Building alongside the Base community and team. Our mission to bring real-world industries onchain is the same one they're building toward. 3. Shipping the products and tech that make the clearinghouse useful from day one, with more to share in the weeks ahead. Excited for this next chapter!
