What is PRNS?
Publisher Repository & Name Service

Decentralized Publisher Repository & Education Platform for Professional Composers, Songwriters, and Publishers.
PRNS is an administrative tool tailored for the music community. Our mission is to become the world’s most trusted repository of music IP on the blockchain. We enable music creators and publishers to generate digital certificates of their musical works for authenticity, provenance and preservation in a secure, transparent and decentralized environment.
PRNS has 2 primary components:
Domain Service -
The PRNS domain service works similar to the popular ENS domain service, a blockchain based domain resolver. For ENS this allow any person with a crypto wallet to purchase a .eth domain name, and connect it to their crypto wallet address. This makes remembering your address, payments, and sharing your address easier. PRNS takes it a step further allow verified creators to connect their blockchain wallets, and IPI number (their unique identifier as a songwriter, composer, author or publisher).
Works Registration -
Once verified, creators and publishers can begin to copy and create their published works into our repository. This allow decentralized access to right verification, but also creates a catalyst for standard for music publishing via the blockchain. Each work registered is a digital asset containing proof of ownership, as well as a song’s entire metadata, available for access, and use for future blockchain distribution.
