Blockchain After Finance: Programmable IP in the Age of AI
summary
Argues that blockchains can turn internet content into IP Legoland by registering assets on-chain with a programmable IP license that maps each legal term to smart contracts, enabling API-level licensing, revenue splits (example: singer sets 50% for voice use), and realtime royalty streaming. Shows working demos: an AI fashion app licensing Balenciaga designs and an ecosystem where Magma’s characters (used by 2.5 million web2 users) move across apps and automatically pay creators and remixers. Claims this prevents a “tragedy of the commons” for AI training data.
