One Transaction. Everything Defined.
A verifiable digital record of audio rights and provenance.
Why Audio Needs a Record
A digital audio file can be copied, downloaded, renamed, and moved between production environments. In this process, the file is often separated from the context in which it was acquired.
Without a persistent connection to the licensing event, verifying usage rights and asset origin becomes a manual, fragmented task. FrequenSea addresses this by ensuring the licensing record remains connected to the acquisition event through the Artefact Protocol.
“Foil is the visual DNA, Artefact is the record, License is the right, Track is the asset.”
The FrequenSea Artefact
An Artefact is the verifiable digital record associated with an asset acquisition or licensing event on the FrequenSea platform. It connects the asset, the creator, and the buyer into a single structured record.

Verifiable Record
Everything defined.
Acquisition recorded.
Asset DNA
The visual and data identity derived from the underlying track and creator information. It anchors the digital record to the specific work created by the artist.
Acquisition DNA
The data identity associated specifically with the acquisition event. It distinguishes a particular license grant from the underlying asset, creating a unique transaction marker.
The Micro-ID Ring
Provides a compact visual representation of the unique Asset ID and Acquisition ID, ensuring the core identifiers are visible and recognizable within the visual record.
The Foil
The Foil is the visual representation of the Artefact’s underlying identity and data. It acts as the "Visual DNA" of the record.
While the Artefact is the data record itself, the Foil provides a recognizable, deterministic visual signature that allows users to identify a verified acquisition at a glance.
License Is the Right
The license defines the specific permissions and rights granted to the buyer for a specific asset. It establishes what the buyer is permitted to do—from background sync for social media to full asset acquisition.

A Record of the Transaction
The FrequenSea Artefact serves as a verifiable digital record associated with the platform's acquisition and licensing process. It provides professional creative teams with a recognizable marker of provenance that links an asset directly to its recorded transaction metadata.
Notice: The Artefact Protocol is a record-keeping architecture developed for the FrequenSea audio exchange. It is intended to document acquisition events and usage permissions. It does not provide legal advice, government copyright registration, or third-party rights adjudication.
For Creators
Creators benefit from having their assets represented through a structured acquisition record. This ensures that every license of their work is documented, providing clarity on usage permissions and catalog integrity.
Distribute AssetFor Buyers
Buyers receive a verifiable record that connects the asset, the license, and the transaction. This provides production teams with the necessary documentation to verify permissions at any stage of a creative project.
