VANCOUVER, Canada – Content creator trade group Pearl Industry Network (PiN) has announced the launch of “TrustLink,” described as “a free identity verification platform built specifically for adult content creators and sex workers.”
In the announcement, PiN said TrustLink “allows creators to verify once and selectively share credentials only with other verified users, helping reduce catfishing, impersonation, and unsafe bookings while keeping sensitive data locked down.”
“Designed with enterprise-grade cybersecurity, TrustLink prioritizes privacy and control so creators no longer have to send raw IDs and legal names to every platform, studio, or potential collab partner,” the announcement added.
“Our focus is building real infrastructure that creators can rely on,” said BullBossJosh, Chief Visionary Officer of PiN. “TrustLink is about authenticity, safety, and control.”
The announcement explained that TrustLink “launches alongside PiN’s broader safety and professionalization push at Taboo Vancouver, including a partnership with ProDX Health to offer Pro13 at-home STI testing kits to Canadians, a three-tier Canadian healthcare framework for industry workers, and access to accountants experienced with sex workers and content creators.”
Founded in 2025 in Edmonton by creators and advocates Edger9000, Yuri Gaponov, and BullBossJosh, PiN bills itself as “the first adult creator advocacy network to fuse integrity, safety, and professionalism into a shared community ecosystem.”
“Born from lived experience, we’re reshaping the way society, platforms, and policymakers treat creators,” the PiN website states, adding that PiN’s mission is to “advocate for adult content creators with respect, equity, and power” and “provide tools, community, and services that elevate creators beyond the digital gig economy into full-scale professionals.”
According to the announcement, PiN’s official US launch is slated for May in Miami, Florida.
