Define, verify, and enforce rights on-chain. Mediolano empowers creators with decentralized, immutable, and programmable licensing for the next generation of intellectual property.
When an IP asset is minted using the Mediolano IP Creator, the licensing terms are not stored on a centralized server. Instead, they are embedded directly into the asset's metadata, which is stored on decentralized storage networks like IPFS or Arweave.
A hash of the metadata (and license) is committed to the blockchain (Starknet) within the ERC721 token URI. This creates an immutable proof of the license terms at the time of creation.
Because the data is on IPFS/Arweave, the license terms remain accessible forever, independent of the Mediolano platform's existence. No vendor lock-in.
We adhere to established web3 and legal standards to ensure your IP is recognized globally.
Mediolano IP assets are designed to travel.
Intellectual Property should be tradable. When you sell a Mediolano IP Asset on a secondary market, the license travels with it (unless specified otherwise).
Mediolano implements the EIP-2981 royalty standard. Creators set their royalty percentage at minting. Marketplaces that respect this standard will automatically payout royalties to the original creator on every resale.
Intellectual Property is diverse. The metadata requirements for a musical composition differ vastly from those of a 3D model or a piece of open-source code. Mediolano solves this with a Modular Component System based on IP Types.
We provide pre-built templates that enforce specific metadata schemas. This ensures that all assets of a certain type (e.g., Music) have consistent, queryable attributes.
Developers can propose and deploy new IP Type Templates via the DAO. Once approved, these templates become available to all users in the IP Creator DApp.
Creativity is iterative. Mediolano natively supports the "Remix" workflow, allowing creators to build upon existing work while automatically respecting the original license terms. This creates a transparent and fair Remix Graph.
Every time an asset is remixed, a parent-child relationship is recorded on-chain. This provenance chain is immutable and public, meaning the history of an idea can always be traced back to its source.
The protocol checks the parent asset's license before allowing a remix.
This structure is particularly powerful for Generative AI. An AI agent can:
Mediolano's programmable licensing is designed for AI agents. By standardizing license terms in JSON metadata (e.g., 'commercial_use': true, 'modification_allowed': false) and ensuring on-chain verifiability, autonomous agents can query, negotiate, and utilize IP rights without human intervention.
