Elastos Introduces Elacity DRM, Web3’s First Digital Rights Management Tool
Elastos has announced the launch of Elacity DRM, a new digital rights management (DRM) tool designed specifically for Web3, focusing on video content creators.
Elacity DRM introduces an Access Economy Protocol (AEP) that combines non-fungible token (NFT) technology with decentralized DRM. This integration allows creators to share, monetize, and resell their content with defined scarcity, providing them direct control over their digital rights.
