Ascribe

Ascribe is an open-source platform originally developed to empower creators by enabling ownership and monetization of digital intellectual property, especially digital art, using blockchain technology. Launched in 2015, it aimed to provide provenance, licensing, and control over digital content. While the project faced infrastructure scaling challenges, its protocols (such as COALA IP) have influenced the broader blockchain IP ecosystem. The codebase is fully open sourced, allowing artists and institutions to run their own service.
