Abstract

In an age where AI technology simplifies the creation (eg. stories, videos, images, sounds, or 3D models), it also challenges challenges creator’s ownership of their output. Consequently, there's a growing need for a system that can clearly define and quantify content ownership, merging innovation with the rightful claim over one's work.

Blockchain, and Bitcoin built on distributed ledger and blockchain architecture, provide an ideal solution for certifying and securing creative ownership. With over 15 years of technological maturation, Bitcoin's distributed consensus system ensures that all nodes maintain the same ledger, guarantees transparency and security. This creates an immutable record of creators' copyrights, effectively safeguarding their intellectual property. The blockchain's structure prevents the alteration of historical data, safeguarding copyright information. Also, by using Blockchain's tokenomics to enable fairer rewards to copyright owners, quantifying copyright value and completing a decentralized circle for rights confirmation and transactions.

While Bitcoin is ideal for rights confirmation on-chain, its high transaction costs and slow speeds, along with a lack of specific functionalities for creative copyright records, pose challenges. To address these without compromising security, we propose a layer 2 solution on Bitcoin blockchain——to enhance Bitcoin's transaction speed, reduce costs, and create a fairer, ethical HAI network and extend its capability to empower creators in building their own applications/projects.
