ProvenaMind — Autonomous Content Provenance Agent

August 11, 2026 · Creative Minds Jam #1 · Animoca Brands × The Sandbox

🧠 Minds Agent ⛓️ Hedera HCS 💸 x402 Payments 🔍 Quality Verified

ProvenaMind is an autonomous agent built on Minds by Animoca Brands that discovers content, repurposes it for every platform, anchors provenance on Hedera Consensus Service, and settles x402 micropayments to creators across multiple chains.

The Problem

Content creators lose attribution and revenue when their work is repurposed across platforms. A video uploaded to YouTube gets ripped, re-cut, and re-posted to TikTok, Instagram, and X — with zero credit and zero payment flowing back to the original creator.

The Solution

ProvenaMind solves this end-to-end with a fully autonomous pipeline:

1. 🧠 Mind Discovers Content

The Mind evaluates a content catalog and selects a video to repurpose. This is the Mind's autonomous decision, not a hardcoded URL. Each run can select different content based on the Mind's reasoning.

2. 🔗 SHA-256 Hash + Hedera HCS Anchor

The agent downloads the video, computes a SHA-256 hash, and anchors it to Hedera Consensus Service mainnet — creating an immutable, consensus-backed timestamp proving the content existed at that moment.

HCS Topic: 0.0.10791674 on HashScan

3. ✂️ Mind Selects Platforms + ffmpeg Clips

The Mind chooses which platforms to target (TikTok 9:16, Instagram 1:1, X 16:9, YouTube 16:9). Real ffmpeg processing produces actual playable video clips — not simulated output.

4. 🔍 7-Point Quality Verification

Every clip passes a 7-point quality check before the pipeline proceeds:

Failed clips auto-retry up to 3 times with adjusted ffmpeg parameters.

5. 💸 x402 Cross-Chain Micropayments

The agent settles licensing fees on two chains:

ChainAmountAssetHCS Anchor
Base (L2)$0.10USDCLicense record → HCS #131
Hedera$0.10HBARLicense record → HCS #132

Each payment generates a license record with tx hash, content hash, and HCS anchor — all verifiable on-chain.
