OnlyUno Philosophy

A public record should protect the creator, the artifact, and the truth of its origin.

OnlyUno exists to help completed digital works remain understandable, discoverable, and connected to their provenance without taking ownership away from the people who created them.

Our North Star

SpinStream creates and finalizes the artifact. OnlyUno may register, preserve, index, present, and support continuity for that artifact. The creator’s underlying rights remain with the creator unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

What We Believe

Creators keep their rights.

Registration, display, indexing, or preservation through OnlyUno does not automatically transfer copyright, authorship, or ownership of the underlying work.

Finalized artifacts deserve clear records.

Once a digital artifact is finalized, its identity, creator association, and provenance should remain anchored even as surrounding service layers evolve.

Provenance is not a sales pitch.

A public marker can document history and association. It should not be framed as a promise of investment value, artificial scarcity, or unlimited service.

Services should be plain and bounded.

Continuity, gallery placement, discovery, playback, archival access, and infrastructure support are services. Their scope, duration, and limits should be understandable.

How the Roles Fit Together

SpinStream is the creation and finalization system for the artifact. It handles generation, creator-facing licensing, checkout where applicable, finalization, export, and delivery logic.

OnlyUno is the public reference and continuity layer where enabled. It can provide registry presence, gallery display, discoverability, provenance reference, indexing, archival support, retrieval paths, and optional token-reference display.

OnlyUno does not replace SpinStream as the creation authority, and neither system should blur service access with ownership of the creator’s underlying work.

Public Commitments

This philosophy statement explains OnlyUno’s public-facing approach. Specific services, licenses, billing terms, and usage limits are governed by the applicable written terms for those services.
