How CopyrightChains Works
A technical deep dive into our blockchain-based infrastructure for copyright management and monetization
Blockchain Infrastructure
Our blockchain foundation provides immutable records, secure provenance, and transparent transactions.
Beyond Simple Timestamping
CopyrightChains goes far beyond basic blockchain timestamping. Each creative work receives a unique CopyrightID that links to a comprehensive set of metadata, including:
- Encrypted work samples for verification
- Detailed attribution information
- Commercial usage conditions
- Licensing parameters and royalty structures
- Historical provenance and rights transfers
Technical Implementation
Our blockchain infrastructure is built on a hybrid architecture that combines:
- Public blockchain for immutable timestamping and verification
- Layer-2 scaling solutions for high-throughput transactions
- Secure off-chain storage for large media files
- Cryptographic hashing for content verification
- Cross-chain interoperability for maximum flexibility
Smart Contract License Management
Automated licensing and royalty distribution through programmable smart contracts.
Diverse Licensing Models
Support for one-time payments, usage-based royalties, subscriptions, and custom hybrid models
Automated Execution
Self-executing contracts that automatically enforce licensing terms and distribute payments.
Real-time Settlement
Instant calculation and distribution of royalties to all rights holders without intermediaries.
Conditional Access
Secure content delivery based on license verification and payment confirmation.
Smart Contract Example (Simplified)
// Simplified example of a CopyrightChains licensing smart contract
contract CopyrightLicense {
address public creator;
uint public royaltyPercentage;
mapping(address => bool) public licensees;
event LicenseGranted(address licensee, uint amount);
event RoyaltyPaid(address creator, uint amount);
constructor(uint _royaltyPercentage) {
creator = msg.sender;
royaltyPercentage = _royaltyPercentage;
}
function purchaseLicense() public payable {
require(msg.value > 0, "Payment required");
// Calculate royalty
uint royaltyAmount = (msg.value * royaltyPercentage) / 100;
// Transfer royalty to creator
payable(creator).transfer(royaltyAmount);
// Grant license
licensees[msg.sender] = true;
emit LicenseGranted(msg.sender, msg.value);
emit RoyaltyPaid(creator, royaltyAmount);
}
function verifyLicense(address user) public view returns (bool) {
return licensees[user];
}
}
Power of Content (PoC) Staking Mechanism
A revolutionary approach that bridges creative value and economic rewards.
How PoC Staking Works
The Power of Content (PoC) staking mechanism allows stakeholders to acquire NIM Utility Tokens (NUT) and stake them on intellectual property they believe in. This creates a direct economic relationship between content value and token rewards.
Key benefits of staking include:
- Increased visibility for staked content
- Reduced transaction fees for high-stake content
- Redistribution of platform fees as passive income
- Governance rights in the CopyrightChains ecosystem
Technical Architecture
The PoC staking mechanism is built on a multi-layered architecture:
- Token Layer: NUT token management and staking contracts
- Content Layer: Copyright registration and verification
- Reward Layer: Fee calculation and distribution
- Governance Layer: Voting and protocol updates
- Integration Layer: APIs for third-party applications
