Here's how it works:

Content: Mint IP on Story

• Able to then create children from this IP for royalty collection.

Audios: Watermark Embedding:

• Unique identifiers are extracted from your original audio using spectral analysis and feature compression.
• These identifiers are subtly embedded into your audio using a robust linear transformation, ensuring the watermark is imperceptible to human ears.

1. Blockchain Registration:

   • The generated watermark data is securely stored and registered on the blockchain, creating NFT on the Story Blockchain
   • This record provides verifiable proof of your audio's origin and authenticity.

2. Usage Tracking and Verification:

   • When your watermarked audio is used or distributed, our system can detect and analyze the embedded watermark.
   • This allows you to track how your audio is being used and identify any unauthorized usage or distribution.
