Binded was a web3-enabled platform designed to help photographers, designers, and visual artists protect their image copyrights by registering them on the Bitcoin blockchain. It provided a simple way to upload images to a private copyright vault, create unique digital fingerprints for each image, and generate blockchain-backed copyright certificates. These certificates served as proof of ownership and helped users monitor unauthorized use of their images online. Binded integrated with social platforms like Instagram and Twitter to streamline the copyright registration process.

The platform offered continuous monitoring of images across the internet, alerting users instantly when their images were found online without permission. This monitoring was paired with tools to manage copyright infringements, including sending legally binding takedown notices in multiple languages and jurisdictions. Binded aimed to democratize copyright protection by making tools previously available only to large corporations accessible to individual creators.

However, as of September 2019, Binded was acquired by Pixsy Inc and fully migrated to Pixsy.com. Pixsy continues to offer the core features of Binded along with expanded services such as expert case management and legal support to recover lost revenue from copyright violations. New users are directed to Pixsy for image copyright protection and enforcement. While Binded’s original platform is no longer active, its blockchain-based copyright registration approach remains relevant for creators seeking verifiable proof of ownership and automated monitoring.
