Product
Problem
For decades, creators have produced enormous value for platforms they do not own, while ownership, distribution, and monetization remain controlled by the centralized infrastructure those creators depend on. Digital objects lack property rights native to the internet, preventing creators from owning and transferring their work without permission from intermediaries.
Solution
Foundation Labs builds software that applies blockchain tokens to encode property rights into digital objects, making them property native to the internet and owned directly by individuals. The company creates products and experiments that allow creators to publish work they own, collectors to support creators directly, and communities to form around shared cultural artifacts. Through a series of products, Foundation Labs explores what happens when digital property rights become native to the internet, testing how creators can benefit from token-based ownership of their content and culture.
Target Audience
Primary users are digital creators—artists, musicians, and cultural producers—seeking direct ownership of their work, along with collectors and communities who want to support and trade in tokenized cultural artifacts.
