White Paper
The white paper (version of 3 March 2026) was the foundational design document for the CORPUS Royalty Protocol. The system has since been built, and many details described in the paper have changed in the process; the scoring system in particular works differently today. The paper no longer reflects the current state, and the download has been withdrawn.
This documentation site is the current, authoritative reference. It covers the same ground as the white paper did — industry context, the protocol, securing contributions and rights, how value flows from contributions to royalties, and the organizational structure — and is kept current as the system evolves.
