The canonical position for attribution in the on-chain, agent-era web.

A substrate coordinate naming the unsolved problem of tracking creative, data, and value provenance across decentralized systems — with AI as both actor and auditor.

Why this is canonical

Attribution is the foundational question of the decentralized web: who created what, who contributed value, and who should receive credit or compensation. The .ai extension places this in the agent register — where attribution is not only a legal and economic question but a technical one that intelligent systems must resolve automatically. The conjunction of Web3 and Attribution names a live, under-served coordination surface.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Creator economy and royalties
On-chain attribution infrastructure that routes royalties and credit to creators as their work propagates through AI-generated derivatives.
NFT platforms, music / media rights companies, creator economy builders
AI training data provenance
Decentralized attribution layer that records dataset contributions and enables downstream compensation when models are trained on contributed data.
AI training data marketplaces, decentralized ML platforms

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
