AI Code Provenance and Origin Certification Platform

P6/10March 10, 2026

WhatA developer tool that cryptographically tracks and certifies the origin of code contributions — whether human-written, AI-assisted, or AI-generated — with fine-grained disclosure metadata baked into the commit workflow.

SignalOpen source projects are starting to adopt strict policies around AI-generated code, but they have no tooling to actually enforce or verify these policies — the current approach is honor-system declarations that everyone acknowledges are unenforceable.

Why NowThe explosion of AI coding tools in 2025-2026 has created an urgent need for provenance tracking as major projects begin adopting formal AI code policies, and no standard tooling exists yet.

MarketEnterprise OSS compliance teams, large open source foundations, and security-sensitive organizations. TAM overlaps with software supply chain security (~$3B market). Competitors like Snyk and Socket focus on dependency risk, not AI provenance — a clear gap.

MoatFirst-mover standard-setting: if you become the DCO-equivalent for AI provenance, network effects lock in as projects adopt your attestation format and contributors install your tooling.
