In addition, the rules set for the secondary distribution and use of works are inherited across services, enabling long-term management of works. Due to the nature of blockchain, this information cannot be deleted, falsified, or duplicated. In addition to physical works such as paintings and sculptures, we also support digital works based on data such as images, videos, and sounds, as well as installations and other forms of works.
