What Writers’ Bloc does

Writers’ Bloc provides tools for professional publishers, journalists, creators, agencies, newsrooms, and rights-holders to record, monitor, and manage the use of their written work.

The platform may allow users to:

• generate technical fingerprints for articles or other content;
• log fingerprint records to a supported decentralised public ledger (aka “blockchain”);
• monitor the web and AI outputs for potential unauthorised use;
• organise potential incidents into reports or dossiers;
• send user-directed payment requests;
• use wallet, payment, and third-party integrations connected to those workflows.

Writers’ Bloc is a software platform. We are not a law firm, financial institution, payment institution, crypto exchange, crypto custodian, debt collector, or copyright enforcement agency.
