A Vancouver-based upstart this week launched a “Trust & Safety Operating System.”
British Columbia’s Beatdapp, which develops “integrity technology” for digital platforms, says that its new operating system is the first to integrate full scale identity verification, artificial intelligence powered music detection, anomaly detection, and account takeover detection, as well as a recommendation engine—all aimed at solving solve the ongoing challenge of trust in an online world.
“Behind every digital interaction is a human one,” says Morgan Hayduk, “but that connection is constantly threatened by fraud, bots, and bad actors.”
Hayduk, co-CEO alongside Andrew Batey, opines that a “fragmented approach is no longer enough.”
“We built the Trust & Safety OS to be the common denominator for integrity,” explains Batey, describing the software as “a system that protects platforms and their users—from onboarding and login to consumption and payment.”
“This is about engineering the trust that allows digital communities to thrive,” suggests Hayduk.
Beatdapp is partnering with UK-born due diligence services provider Arcarta as part of its capacity to build trustworthy communities.
“Our Due Diligence Network was purpose-built for high-touch industries where relationships are paramount,” say Arcarta cofounders Tom Noon and Matthew Whiteley. “By integrating our ‘Living Record’ technology into the Beatdapp Trust & Safety OS, we are creating a powerful, reusable identity layer for the entire digital economy.”
The partnership “allows platforms to stop bad actors at the front door while providing a seamless, respectful experience for the creators and customers they trust,” according to the entrepreneurs.
Beatdapp last year garnered significant capital.
“Our mission at Beatdapp is to protect the economic wellbeing of the global music streaming industry and put an end to streaming fraud,” Batey and Hayduk stated in 2024. “As a neutral third party, Beatdapp is the impartial provider of objective analysis that our growing roster of clients can count on to get fraud detection.”
Claiming a false positive rate below 0.001%, Beatdapp ensures legitimate artists are protected while fraud is eliminated.
Alongside new partnerships with SoundExchange, Napster, and Universal Music Group, the BC-born tech firm this month announced that it has secured US$17 million in financing.
In 2023, Beatdapp analyzed more than two trillion streams and twenty trillion data points.
The company was founded in 2018.
