About

Mivia is for the musicians, producers, engineers, and labels who want the confidence that their work is protected when sharing it. We're building a world where every piece of audio carries its own proof of authorship in the waveform itself, so the truth of who made it travels with the file wherever it goes, and if a copy ever leaks, our tech tells you exactly who shared it.

How it works

We embed a cryptographic signature directly into the waveform of your audio, so even if the file name and metadata change, your signature stays with the file. Our signature is made up of a fingerprint that identifies the audio by its sonic content and a watermark, imperceptible to listeners, so it stays traceable even if the file is re-encoded, compressed, pitched or stretched. With every signature we issue a public certificate of ownership. Anyone can open it without a Mivia account by visiting the page directly, by pasting the Mivia ID at /database, or by scanning the audio file at /scan. We anchor every certificate to a Bitcoin transaction at sign time, so there's independent proof of when the file was created, strong enough to hold up in court. The Mivia Sign plugin runs in any DAW and automatically fingerprints every bounce you make, so you can add it to your template, forget it's there, and know everything you make is protected.

Why

We started Mivia to fix the quiet trade-off that's always come with sharing audio. Once a file leaves your machine, some part of your control over it goes with it. Mivia exists to remove that trade-off. Every signed file carries its own proof of authorship, so a producer can retire the audible tag, an artist can send a demo to a friend without weighing who they trust, and a loop handed to a collaborator stays yours even when the file moves on. And in the event that something does end up somewhere it shouldn't, the file itself tells you the source of the leak.
