Definition ∞ Tokenized Culture describes the practice of representing cultural artifacts, experiences, or communities as digital tokens on a blockchain. This concept extends beyond mere digital art NFTs to include tokenizing aspects of collective identity, historical records, social interactions, or even fan engagement for entertainment franchises. It allows for verifiable ownership, provenance, and new forms of participation or monetization within cultural spheres. The process aims to create new economic models and governance structures around shared cultural value.
Context ∞ Tokenized Culture is an expanding domain within the broader Web3 movement, offering new possibilities for creators, collectors, and communities. Key discussions involve intellectual property rights, the long-term value and preservation of digital cultural assets, and the ethical implications of commodifying cultural expressions. Future trends suggest deeper integration with metaverse environments and new models for community-driven cultural production.
