How it works
From archive to paid in three steps.
01
Prove it's yours
Connect your Substack, Beehiiv, Ghost, YouTube, or your own website. We confirm ownership in under a minute — no manual review delays.
02
Set your price
You decide what your archive is worth. Pick a license type, set the price, and choose whether the deal is exclusive.
03
Get paid in stablecoin
When an AI company licenses your work, the payment lands instantly in USDC. Every license is recorded on-chain — a tamper-proof trail of who licensed what, when, and for how much.
Creators & publishers
You made it. You should be paid when AI uses it.
Independent journalists, podcasters, video creators, and small publishers — list the archive you actually own. We handle the ownership check, the contract, and the payment.

Clean data. Verified owners. Proof you can show in court.
Every archive on ArchiveBay comes from a verified creator with proof of ownership. Every license is recorded on-chain. Built for the way AI training is going to be regulated, not the way it used to be.
