Universal Digital Content Attribution Protocol
For the first time, digital content can carry not just attribution— but the ability to pay its creator automatically.
UDCAP introduces a new model where value flows through content itself, not through platforms.
UDCAP (Universal Digital Content Attribution Protocol) is a standard that allows digital content to carry its own attribution and compensation instructions wherever it goes.
Instead of relying on platforms, UDCAP enables value to flow directly to content owners through a persistent, protocol-driven mechanism embedded within the content itself.
A standardized Wallet Tag defines where compensation is routed. It is anchored at the domain level via DNS and embedded across webpages, files, and media.
No accounts. No platforms. Just direct ownership.
Create your Wallet TagAttribution remains attached to content as it is copied, shared, and reused, preserving its connection across the web.
The relationship between content and owner does not break as distribution expands.
Compensation is executed based on the attribution tag, applying defined rules to determine how and where value is transferred.
Attribution becomes actionable—turning recognition into payment.
UDCAP is evolving into an open consortium where organizations, creators, and industry leaders collaborate to define how attribution and compensation work across the internet.
We are engaging participants across technology, media, legal, finance, and government to help shape the standard, contribute to its direction, and participate in its governance.
