Content Tokenization

Definition ∞ Content Tokenization is the process of converting digital content into a blockchain-based token, often a non-fungible token. This process assigns verifiable ownership and provable scarcity to digital creations like art, music, or articles. Tokenized content can then be traded, licensed, or utilized within decentralized platforms. It grants creators new monetization avenues and users immutable proof of ownership.
Context ∞ Content Tokenization is reshaping creator economies and intellectual property rights in the digital realm. It offers a new model for artists and producers to control their work and receive direct compensation, bypassing traditional intermediaries. Debates persist regarding copyright enforcement, the environmental impact of certain blockchain technologies, and the long-term value proposition of tokenized content.
