Trust and provenance
Marketplace trust comes from verified workspaces, provenance trails, and watermarked clones.
Public identity
Marketplace cards use public-safe creator and workspace identity. The creator preview shows the account profile and Canopy Card stats. The workspace preview shows the publishing workspace, its handle, logo, and verification status. These are intentionally separate, so a personal author hover does not masquerade as a workspace hover.
Email addresses are not exposed in gallery data. Avatars come from the selected Canopy avatar or a public-safe avatar hash.
Workspace verification
A verified workspace earns a blue seal across Canopy - on your public profile, templates, and original listings. Verified originals show the Verified original badge so buyers can tell the authentic source from a re-listed copy.
Request verification from Dashboard → Settings → Workspace → Workspace verification. The card shows your current status: not verified, pending review, or verified. Once you submit, you cannot send another request until we have reviewed it.

Owner-only
Only the workspace owner can request verification. Verification, billing, Stripe payouts, and listing a map for sale are all owner-only.
Before submitting, make sure you have:
- A complete public profile - workspace handle, logo, and a short bio.
- Proof you own the brand - a GitHub org, company domain, or official socials.
- Original maps or templates you created, not clones of others.
- A reachable contact email.
- An account in good standing.
We review by hand and email you the decision.
Anti-forgery
Every clone Canopy makes, free or paid, is stamped with provenance: the original handle and name, the cloning account, and a unique watermark. That means leaked or repackaged copies are traceable back to the buyer.
- Verified workspaces show Verified original on their originals.
- Bought or cloned maps show Licensed from @origin.
- The durable value - live spend tracking, drift, and
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.mdexports - stays tied to the Canopy entitlement, so a raw repackaged diagram loses what people actually pay for.
No platform can make copying physically impossible. Watermarking, verified-seller trust, and takedowns make the original the only copy worth buying.
