MADECX is the registry and system of record for cultural property. We give your work a verifiable title, a real valuation, and a clean license, so the value your culture creates comes back to you.
Your work gets used, sampled, exhibited, licensed, and referenced. The value moves through brands, institutions, and estates. Almost none of it comes back to the person who made it. The problem was never that the work lacked value. The problem is that no one gave it a title, a price, or a way to get paid.
That is the gap MADECX closes. Not with a promise, but with infrastructure.
The Blackchain Creative Identifier is verifiable title for your work. Permanent, provable proof that it is yours, and the record every license and royalty is built on.
BCID™The Cultural Property Rights Standard appraises your work across five dimensions of cultural significance, impact, and heritage. A real number, not a guess.
CPRS™The clean instrument that lets a brand, museum, or institution pay to use your work, on your terms, with the record and the royalty flowing back to your title.
Cultural Use Licenses™With Cultural Liens, this is how the license is protected and how you get paid. Your title carries weight, not just goodwill.
Cultural LiensYour work receives a BCID™, its permanent verifiable title in the registry.
CPRS™ appraises the work across five dimensions of cultural significance and heritage.
A Cultural Use License™ lets others pay to use your work, on terms you set.
Royalty returns to your title on every licensed use. You keep the majority, by design.
Custodian Creditor Agreements™ and Cultural Liens enforce the license and secure payment.
Halim Flowers holds the first verified BCID™ and is an active client. The RoHo Estate, conservator of the Donald E. Davis archive, is registering title through MADECX today. The first names on the registry are creators, not institutions.
The reason this matters: the people who built America's culture, its music, its style, its inventions, captured almost none of the value they created. BLK:INV indexes 50,000+ verified Black American patents against an estimated $293T in Lost Commercial Value.1 MADECX exists so the next work of yours does not repeat that.
Creators with a body of work: visual artists, musicians, designers, writers, inventors, athletes, and culture-bearers.
Holding the archive of a creator, ready to establish clear title and pass value down.
Whose work is already being used, licensed, or referenced, and who want the record and the royalty to come back to them.
Start with one piece. We establish its title, appraise it, and show you exactly what it is worth and how it earns. No cost to see your first valuation.
