IOWNME is a platform developed by IPrivata, a company focused on data privacy and digital rights. Its designed to provide individuals with a way to assert ownership and control over their personal data, particularly in the context of name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights for athletes.
The core of the IOWNME service is the platform’s Declaration Certificate, a legally-grounded digital certificate that establishes a root proof of authenticity for an individual's data. This certificate links the rights embedded in a patent to an individual's personal information, effectively transforming the enforcement of data privacy from a matter of privacy policy to one of property rights, intellectual property, and contract law. This provides a more robust and proactive framework for individuals to protect and monetize their personal brand and content.
The IOWNME platform is built on the Hedera network. IPrivata is working directly with the Hedera Foundation and Acoer, a DLT developer, to integrate the Declaration Certificate into the Hedera ecosystem.
Tune.FM is a decentralized music streaming platform and NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network. It’s designed to upend and modernize the music industry's traditional compensation model. Its core mission is to enable transparent, secure, and instant artist payments while fostering direct connections with fan communities.
The Tune.FM platform is built on the Hedera blockchain network and utilizes the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for its native JAM token ($JAM), which relies on embedded Hedera features to facilitate real-time micropayments for artists, who are compensated for every second their music is streamed.
Tune.FM’s "play-to-earn" model features high speed processing with comparatively low fees, thus potentially allowing artists to retain a significantly greater portion of their earnings when compared to traditional streaming platforms.
Beyond streaming, Tune.FM features an integrated NFT marketplace where artists can mint and sell digital music collectibles including songs, albums, artwork, and exclusive fan experiences such as backstage passes via JAM tokens. For listeners, Tune.FM offers a platform for new music discovery, direct artist interactions and support, and a way to earn JAM tokens through fan engagement.
The Liechtenstein Protocol is a decentralized compliance protocol developed by LCX, a regulated fintech company based in Liechtenstein. It’s designed to standardize the way security tokens and other tokenized assets are issued and traded on blockchains, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance.
The core of the Liechtenstein Protocol is a set of on-chain and on-token-level rules that can be embedded directly into a digital asset. These rules can automate compliance with a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements, such as those related to KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). Key services enabled by the protocol include on-chain asset management, which allows for the issuance, timelocking, and burning of tokens, as well as real-time tracking of a token's ownership through a "Token Holder Registry."
The Liechtenstein Protocol is blockchain-agnostic, but it has a key integration with the Hedera network leveraging the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to provide a secure, transparent, and compliant infrastructure for digital securities.
