Abstract
Systems and methods for managing media, such as digital content, using blockchain technology are described. For example, the systems and methods provide rights-enabled tokens, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which include information identifying content represented by the tokens as well as information or data that identifies the rights assigned or associated with the content represented by the tokens.
