The path for bringing real-world assets (RWA) on-chain is becoming increasingly clear: from stablecoins, to U.S. Treasuries, and now to real estate and private credit. Today, Minicoin is betting on the next major asset class poised for on-chain tokenization—intellectual property (IP).
Built on the Creditcoin blockchain, IP RWA Network Minicoin has announced that its native token, $MINI, will be the first project to launch on PenguinSwap Launchpad, officially kicking off its Public Sale.
This token sale employs a fair and transparent mechanism with no insider discount, using the open market for price discovery to achieve a broader and more distributed token ownership structure.
Notably, Mini Labs (the developer of Minicoin) has been officially authorized by IPX to legally use the minini IP.
IPX holds the LINE FRIENDS intellectual property series, which reaches over 210 million LINE users worldwide and has more than 31 million official LINE FRIENDS followers, exerting widespread influence across Asia and globally. Minicoin is a project developed under the official authorization of IPX.
Why will intellectual property become the next generation of RWA?
Intellectual property has always been an asset, but it has long lacked liquidity.
Ownership of traditional IP is typically registered with official agencies or private contracts in various countries, and the authorization process relies on lawyers and intermediaries, often leaving creators to wait months for payment, with fees deducted at every stage.
The emergence of generative AI has completely disrupted this traditional model.
AI is generating vast amounts of new intellectual property at an unprecedented rate, and the existing copyright system, which relies on manual management—including copyright enforcement, manual licensing, and copyright administration—can no longer handle such a massive volume of content.
Today, the number of new IPs created each year far exceeds the number that can be registered, licensed, and have revenue distributed, and this gap continues to widen.
Minicoin hopes to change this situation.
The platform treats each intellectual property right as a redeemable claim, similar to how a stablecoin corresponds to fiat currency.
Each IP will be minted as an IP NFT, representing a complete and unique piece of intellectual property.
NFT holders own full ownership of the associated intellectual property. They can hold long-term, trade freely, or destroy the NFT to restore the corresponding intellectual property as full off-chain ownership, allowing continued use entirely outside the platform.
More importantly, creators can truly achieve ownership, circulation, and commercial monetization of their original IP.
How does Minicoin implement IP on-chain?
The entire Minicoin system is primarily composed of four core components:
On-chain IP Registry
All intellectual property rights and their ownership can be publicly, transparently, and verifiably recorded on-chain.
Smart Contract Settlement
When an IP generates revenue, the income will be automatically settled in $MINI via smart contract and directly distributed to the IP holder, without any involvement from copyright management agencies.
Creator & Fan Rewards
Through on-chain micro-transactions, automatic payments can be made even for extremely small royalty fees, which is nearly impossible in traditional licensing systems.
AI Creator Tools
The platform will provide AI creation tools, enabling ordinary creators to quickly produce and release their own original IPs without relying on large studios.
For creators, this means:
• Create original characters;
• Tokenize the work;
• Fully owned intellectual property;
• Automatically earn rewards when the market uses this IP.
The entire process can be completed without requiring approval from publishers, licensing agencies, or any third parties.
Meanwhile, Minicoin also upholds a core principle:
One token always corresponds to one complete IP.
The platform will not implement fractional ownership or offer IP tokenization products.
Minicoin's IP development roadmap
Minicoin plans to build a comprehensive IP marketplace centered around three creative domains, enabling ordinary users to easily create original content and generate income.
Phase One: Sticker
Stickers are among the simplest and most clearly copyrightable visual works, making them the ideal first scenario for tokenization.
At the same time, this is also one of the areas most affected by AI-generated content overload.
The market size for stickers and emoticons on major Asian instant messaging platforms has reached hundreds of millions of dollars:
• LINE generates over $170 million annually from Sticker sales;
• As of 2024, KakaoTalk's cumulative emoticon sales reached approximately $870 million.
Stage Two: Music IP
According to industry data:
• Global songwriter and publishing revenue in 2024 was approximately $13.6 billion;
• The global recorded music market size is approximately $29.6 billion.
Due to music copyright involving more rights holders, Minicoin initially supports on-chain settlement for only a portion of the copyright revenues.
Stage Three: Virtual Influencer
The global virtual influencer market size surpassed $6 billion in 2024, maintaining an annual growth rate of approximately 38%.
Whether it's a Virtual Model or a VTuber, both are fundamentally forms of digital intellectual property, thus naturally requiring on-chain rights verification, source authentication of characters, and recording of creator contributions.
