Why trust matters for founders
Platform records vs patents — what MrSoftware ET proves for you.
You own what you create
MrSoftware ET hosts and distributes — you keep IP. The trust stack gives buyers and partners confidence:
- Ownership record — timestamped proof you published (
MS-OWN-YYYY-#####) - License keys —
MS-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXproof of purchase - Verification API — apps can validate keys at runtime
- Customer hub — licenses, updates, wishlist, support tickets
Especially valuable for African startups proving authorship and creation date.
