Digitalage Launches Genesis Pilot — the Creator Economy’s First Ownership Infrastructure.
While legacy platforms quietly extract 45–55% of creator earnings and AI-generated content overwhelms every feed on earth, Hop-on, Inc. (OTCID: HPNN) is deploying the provenance infrastructure the market has been waiting for — and paying handpicked creators $500 to be first.
TEMECULA, Calif., June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hop-on, Inc. (OTCID: HPNN), through its Digitalage platform, has opened the Genesis Creator Pilot Program: a curated, invite-only cohort of independent creators who will receive $500 cash wired within 7 days of onboarding, 85% of gross subscription revenue, and a patent-backed provenance record that no algorithm update can delete. Genesis is not a public launch. It is a handpicked cohort — the second since April — built to prove unit economics and stress-test the infrastructure before scale. The clock started June 3.
Genesis builds directly on the April cohort, formalizing the revenue architecture, adding the $500 sign-up bonus, and expanding access to a wider set of curated creators. This is a pilot with a 60-day execution window. Every milestone is reportable.
THE ECONOMICS — ON THE RECORD
These are not estimates. These are the published terms, effective today:

FROM THE CEO
YouTube can demonetize a channel with two million subscribers because an algorithm flagged a 10-second clip. Instagram can bury a creator’s entire reach because the platform decided to push a competing format. That is not a glitch. That is the business model — and it has been running unchallenged for fifteen years.
“I’ve talked to hundreds of creators who built real audiences, real trust, real businesses — and then watched a platform update wipe out their income overnight. That’s not a partnership. That’s a landlord who can change the rent without notice.
We’re building the layer beneath the platforms — where creators own the record of what they made, get paid what they’re actually owed, and aren’t one algorithm change away from zero.”
— Peter Michaels, Sr., Chief Executive Officer, Hop-on, Inc. / Digitalage (OTCID: HPNN)
WHY THIS MATTERS IF YOU ARE NOT A CREATOR
The creator economy’s infrastructure problem is now everyone’s problem. AI-generated content is flooding platforms at a volume human moderation cannot match — and the provenance gap is becoming a legal and financial liability for the entire advertising ecosystem. The EU AI Act is in force. The SEC is scrutinizing synthetic media in public disclosures. Advertisers are pulling spend from inventory they cannot verify — not because they want to, but because their legal and brand-safety teams have no other option.
Digitalage is the compliant infrastructure layer that did not exist before this platform was built. Every piece of content — human-created or AI-assisted — is hashed with SHA-256 and issued a verifiable provenance record at the moment of creation. Not after a dispute. Not after a theft goes viral. At origin. For advertisers, that is verifiable inventory. For regulators, that is an auditable chain of custody. For platforms and aggregators that license or republish content, that is liability protection. Digitalage built this infrastructure first. The market will need it badly.
THE PROOF PROBLEM — AND THE PATENT-BACKED FIX
Legacy platforms were built on ambiguity: no verifiable ownership record, no provenance chain, no legal protection when a copyright dispute hits original content. Digitalage reverses that architecture. Every asset ingested into the platform receives a SHA-256 hash and a timestamped provenance record that exists independent of any distribution channel.
The registry is backed by three filed U.S. provisional patent applications:
U.S. Provisional No. 63/756,622 — Systems and methods for backing up, monetizing, and managing social media content.
U.S. Provisional No. 63/908,082 — Hardware-accelerated, multi-modal credibility analysis with dynamic calibration and continual learning.
U.S. Provisional No. 63/917,946 — Verifiable crowd-sourced news authentication systems.
Additional utility application details will be disclosed upon clearance for public release.
