How It Works

What does HumanMade verify?

HumanMade verifies the claim that your work was created by humans, not AI. We do not verify legal ownership or copyright - that's a separate matter.

Who can be my verifier?

Anyone who can honestly vouch that your work is human-made: a collaborator, producer, engineer, bandmate, or someone who witnessed your creative process.

What if someone flags my work?

The community can flag suspicious submissions. If a work receives multiple flags, it's reviewed. Fraudulent submissions may be revoked from the registry.

Is my registration permanent?

Yes! Once verified, your registration is permanent and your unique ID will always link to your work in the public registry.

Why does HumanMade collect so much metadata?

Because a rich record is a stronger record. Every field you fill in - from genre and language to studio names, producers, engineers, and performers - becomes part of a permanent, timestamped certificate that proves not just that your work is human-made, but how and by whom.

This depth of information matters to the people who care about your music most.

What can fans see on a registration?

Fans who scan or follow your HumanMade badge land on a public verification page that shows the full story behind your release: the creation story, every credited songwriter, producer, engineer, and performer - their instruments, their roles - the studios where it was recorded and mastered, the artwork, the release date, and links to every platform your music is on.

It turns a badge into a liner note - a living sleeve that travels with your music everywhere it goes.

Does all the metadata have to be filled in at once?

No. You register your work first to lock in the timestamp - that's what matters most. Everything else can be added and updated later through your profile. ISRC codes, streaming links, studio credits, performer details - add them as your release comes together. The record grows with you.

Why do credits matter beyond the music?

Credits are how the people who made your music get recognised - and in some cases, paid. Songwriters, session musicians, engineers, and producers have a professional stake in being accurately credited. A HumanMade registration creates a public, permanent record that can be referenced for licensing enquiries, sync deals, royalty disputes, and industry submissions.

The more complete your credits, the more useful your registration is as a professional document.
