How Medialane works
Tokenization turns something you own into a digital record you can license, trade and verify on Starknet, secured by zero-knowledge validity proofs. It is the idea behind tokenizing real estate or bonds, applied to intellectual property.
Four ideas
What every Medialane product and partner app is built on.
The record
Kept where it cannot be rewritten
Authorship, date and license terms are stored in content-addressed, immutable metadata. The history of every asset, sale and license can be replayed from onchain events.
The contracts
Set once, in public
Contracts are immutable and permissionless. Once deployed they stay as they were set, including for Medialane itself.
The terms
License and AI policy, with the asset
Every asset carries its license type, commercial use, derivatives, attribution, territory and royalty, and an AI policy of Allowed, Training Only or Not Allowed.
The catalog
One record, many apps
Medialane's apps and partner apps read and write the same catalog through the SDK. Different views of one record, none of which can change what it says.
Two hubs
Everything Medialane does is issuing an asset or trading one.
Launchpad
Create and release something new: a catalog of registered work, a set of tickets, a batch of certificates, or any other protocol service.
Marketplace
Buy, sell and license what has been issued. A sale pays out the moment it completes, directly between buyer and seller, with no escrow holding funds in between.
You are in control
Medialane is not an intermediary. It sponsors transactions and runs the services, but it never holds your keys or your funds, and contracts settle payments directly.
Your wallet
Assets are minted to a wallet only you control, secured with a passkey, Face ID or Touch ID. There is no seed phrase to lose.
Your approval
You approve every batch of a run from your wallet before anything is issued.
On the roadmap: value you can verify
Starknet's proof system will let Medialane attest to real-world facts onchain, such as how many times a song streamed or an article was cited. As those proofs accumulate, the value of a licensed asset becomes something anyone can verify for themselves.
