As blockchain technology advances, decentralized applications (DApps) are seeing increased adoption across a broad range of sectors. TCOM, recognized as the world’s first decentralized IP governance protocol, introduces this model to the intellectual property (IP) arena, innovating how content is created, licensed, and how revenue is shared. Launched with 65 iconic IPs from Osamu Tezuka—widely known as Japan’s “God of Manga”—TCOM delivers a next-generation IP creation and governance experience for users worldwide.
TCOM leverages blockchain to decentralize IP creation, authorization, and revenue allocation. Traditional IP ecosystems often struggle with information asymmetry and unequal revenue splits between creators and fans. TCOM overcomes these challenges, empowering users not only to experience and contribute to IP content but also to participate directly in revenue sharing—enabling authentic co-creation and mutual benefit.
The IPFi Staking protocol, a core innovation of TCOM, enables users to stake tokens on various IPs available on the platform. When an IP generates revenue, those who staked tokens earn corresponding staking points. At the conclusion of each reward cycle, stakers receive token airdrop rewards, allowing participants to share in the long-term value appreciation of quality IPs.
This incentive structure not only motivates users to support high-quality works, but also brings fans into the process of building the IP ecosystem—fostering dynamic engagement between creators and their audience. As additional IPs join the TCOM platform, the IPFi Staking protocol will become a key vehicle for fan involvement in both content creation and revenue distribution.
Another standout feature of TCOM is its Tezuka Universe Fan Creation Contest. The platform hosts competitions to inspire fans around the world to create new content, with top works eligible for staking after the IPFi Staking protocol launches. Users can stake tokens on their favorite entries based on personal preference and insight, earning rewards as those IPs generate revenue. This showcases the tangible value of fan contributions, while making the growth of IP assets more transparent and measurable.
As a decentralized IP ecosystem takes shape, TCOM aims to attract renowned IPs and prominent creators. By recording all creation and revenue data on-chain, TCOM ensures complete transparency and fairness. The IPFi Staking protocol additionally provides users with opportunities for long-term IP investment, establishing TCOM as both a creative platform and a new way to invest in digital assets.
Investors can monitor platform updates, stake tokens on high-potential IPs, and share in the growth. With further community governance mechanisms on the horizon, TCOM is set to cultivate a fully realized decentralized ecosystem, achieving collaborative success for creators, fans, and investors alike.
In summary, TCOM, through decentralized IP governance and its IPFi Staking protocol, provides creators, fans, and investors with an entirely new model of engagement. As the platform grows and more classic and new IPs are added, the decentralized IP ecosystem will become a cornerstone of the digital creative industry.
Gate will launch the first spot trading for TCOM (TCOM) on August 15, 2025, at 21:00 (UTC+8).
