How detection works
Every creation you register receives a Universal Work ID. When that fingerprint appears anywhere — a stream, a repost, a reprint, a shelf, a broadcast, a dataset, a model training run — the event is logged with its provenance and priced against the payment types that apply to it.
How the money reaches you
Recovered income is remitted into your GFinOS wallet. Link your gfinos.app account number, registered mobile number or registered email address once, and every future settlement lands there automatically. Your first payment is guaranteed within 90 days of signing up.
- No copyright, trademark, patent, ISRC, ISBN, DOI or society membership required
- Works for demonetised, suspended and deleted accounts
- Commission is taken only on income actually recovered — nothing upfront
- Exact amounts can stay private while you still appear on the leaderboard

Maswali yanayoulizwa
- Who can claim grant & institutional residuals?
- Any individual, organisation, business, institution, school, university, hospital, charity or agency whose work generated the usage. Downstream income when funded outputs are commercialised or relicensed.
- Do I need registered rights to be paid?
- No. Payment is based on evidence of authorship plus evidence of use. Copyright registration, trademarks, patents, ISRCs, ISBNs, DOIs, label, publisher or collecting-society membership are never required — they only widen enforcement options.
- How soon is the first payment?
- Within 90 days of signing up, provided identity verification is complete and a gfinos.app payout identity is linked. The dashboard shows a live countdown, and if the deadline is missed the commission on that payout is waived.
