Purchase fractional ownership in intellectual property and earn revenue share
IP tokens represent fractional ownership of intellectual property projects on IPX. When you purchase tokens for a film, music catalog, digital content project, or other IP asset, you're acquiring a stake in that project's future revenue streams.
Each IP project on IPX issues a fixed supply of tokens. As a token holder, you receive a proportional share of revenue generated by the underlying intellectual property — including streaming royalties, licensing fees, merchandise sales, and distribution deals. Tokens are ERC-20 compliant and live on the Base L2 blockchain.

Each project card shows a summary including the project name, category, current token price, total funding raised, number of investors, and a brief description. Click any card to view the full project details page.
Before investing, thoroughly review each project's detail page. Here's what to look for:
A bonding curve is a mathematical formula that determines the price of a token based on its current supply. As more tokens are purchased, the price automatically increases along the curve. Conversely, when tokens are sold back, the price decreases. This creates a transparent, algorithmic pricing mechanism.
Lower token price, higher potential upside. Early investors benefit from the lowest entry point.
Moderate price with demonstrated traction. The project has proven some market demand.
Higher price, less potential upside. Revenue generation may already be underway though.
From the marketplace, click on the project you'd like to invest in. This opens the project detail page where you can review all information and access the purchase interface.
On the project page, find the "Buy Tokens" button or the trading widget on the right side. This opens the purchase interface where you can enter the amount you want to invest.
You can enter either:
The interface will automatically calculate the other value based on the current bonding curve price.
Before confirming, review the order summary:
Click "Confirm Purchase" to execute the transaction. The blockchain transaction is processed on Base L2, so confirmation is nearly instant (1-2 seconds). You'll see a success confirmation with a link to view the transaction on the block explorer.
Your new tokens appear immediately in your IPX wallet under the "Holdings" tab. You can view them on your portfolio dashboard, trade them on the DEX, or hold them to earn revenue share distributions.
Your tokens are ERC-20 tokens on the Base L2 blockchain. You own them outright — they're stored in your embedded wallet and secured by your private key. No one, including IPX, can freeze or confiscate your tokens.
As a token holder, you're entitled to a proportional share of the project's revenue. Distributions are calculated based on your percentage of the total token supply and are paid out automatically to your wallet — typically on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on the project.
Monitor your investment on the portfolio dashboard. You'll see real-time token price, unrealized P&L, total revenue received, and project updates from the creator team.
Read the data room thoroughly. Understand the team, revenue model, and tokenomics before investing.
Spread your investments across multiple projects and IP categories to reduce risk.
IP revenue builds over time. Streaming royalties and licensing deals compound as content gains audience.
Make a small initial investment to learn the process before committing larger amounts.
Only invest what you can afford to lose. Never invest emergency funds or money you need short-term.
Check in regularly. Review project updates, revenue reports, and market conditions.
