> **There is no DAON browser extension, and there will not be one.** An extension
> would have to hold your signing key in browser storage, which is an ordinary
> file with no hardware protection, and it could be silently updated by the web
> store for every user at once — so the code you trusted is not necessarily the
> code that runs tomorrow. A content script also only sees what the *site* sent
> to your browser, which is not evidence that you wrote anything.

> If you are ever offered a "DAON extension", it is not from us.

### 💻 **Platform Integration**
**For developers adding creator protection**
1. **Choose Your SDK**
```bash
# Node.js -- the only SDK currently published
npm install daon-sdk
```
The Python, Ruby, PHP and Go SDKs **are not published to any package registry.**
Their source lives in [`sdks/`](https://github.com/daon-network/daon/tree/main/sdks)
and can be used from a checkout. The publish workflows for them last failed in
March 2026 and have not been re-run.
> **Do not run `pip install daon`.** That name belongs to an unrelated project
> ("Daon Korean Analyzer" by `rasoio`) and has nothing to do with DAON. Earlier
> versions of these docs told people to install it.
2. **3-Line Integration**
```javascript
import { protect } from 'daon-sdk';
const result = await protect(content, metadata, 'liberation_v1');
console.log('Protected:', result.verificationUrl);
```
3. **Deploy!** Your creators now have protection

⚡ What Happens When You Protect Content?
### 1. **Content Analysis** 🔍
DAON generates a unique SHA-256 cryptographic hash of your content
### 2. **Blockchain Registration** ⛓️
Your hash + metadata gets permanently recorded on DAON blockchain
### 3. **License Application** ⚖️
Liberation License blocks AI training without compensation
### 4. **Verification Proof** 📜
You get a permanent verification URL as legal evidence
✅ STORED ON BLOCKCHAIN:
- SHA-256 hash of your content (fingerprint)
- Creation timestamp
- Creator identifier (optional)
- License type (Liberation License v1)
❌ NEVER STORED:
- Your actual content text
- Personal information
- Platform passwords
- Private content details
Privacy First: DAON only stores a mathematical fingerprint, never your actual creative work.
🔒 Understanding the Liberation License
The Liberation License blocks exploitative AI training while preserving fair use:
✅ ALLOWED:
- Personal reading and enjoyment
- Educational use and study
- Criticism and commentary
- Humanitarian purposes
- Non-commercial research
❌ BLOCKED:
- Commercial AI model training
- Scraping for profit without compensation
- Unauthorized commercial use
- Resale or redistribution
Result: AI companies must get permission and compensate creators fairly.

🛡️ How Protection Works Legally
Before DAON:
- “I wrote this first!” ← Hard to prove
- No timestamped evidence
- Expensive legal battles
- Creators often lose
With DAON:
- Blockchain timestamp proves creation date
- Cryptographic hash proves content ownership
- Liberation License sets clear usage terms
- Legal standing for enforcement
Real Example: “My SHA-256 hash 7f8b9c2d… was registered on DAON blockchain at 2024-03-15 14:32:17 UTC, proving I created this content before your AI training dataset.”
Success Stories
There are none yet. This section previously carried testimonials from creators
who do not exist – several asserting legal or financial outcomes – and they
have been removed rather than rewritten.
If DAON is useful to you and you are willing to be named, open an issue. One real
account is worth more than the invented ones were.
