Stelais is recognition infrastructure for any creative work. The internet gave creators unprecedented reach, but broke the link between a work and its maker. Stelais restores the connection through proof of Origin on Arweave, public verification pages, Residue Watermarking embedded in the pixels, reverse-image scanning, and DMCA evidence bundles. All combined into a single system. Named after the oldest form of recorded provenance. Stelais is the infrastructure the modern internet is missing.
