Creator Licensing Desk

A newly registered source is probationary until its owner proves control of the source domain with a DNS TXT record or meta tag. A wallet signature can confirm the payout wallet, but it does not clear probation by itself. Until domain verification passes, citation payouts for that source are escrowed rather than released. This stops an anonymous registrant from pointing someone else's URL at their own wallet to divert a creator's earnings.
