What is Ink?
The vision of Ink is to provide Sovereign Consortium Blockchains to different use cases, to build a blockchain based infrastructure for the Creative Industry where various applications were possible and correlate to each other in one system. Based on public blockchain (Qtum), an Intellectual Property Assets Exchange is built as a trusted corridor for cash generation and token issuance, making it an integrated ecosystem. At the same time, the cross-chain protocol enables value and information to flow freely between public blockchain and consortium blockchains

The problems in the creative industry today :

• Unprotected ownership of intellectual property
• Limited distribution of content
• Insecure financial support

Ink’s solutions :

• Registering creative works on blockchain
• Facilitating effective distribution marketplace
• Tokenizing creative assets and digitizing value
