About the Book
Part 4 of the Catalyst On-Chain Impact Series
When Cardano sought to bridge mainstream intellectual property (IP) with on-chain innovation, the JPG Store × JPNFT Integration Project delivered. Funded under Catalyst Fund 10, this initiative introduced Cardano’s first verified IP certification framework for NFTs — linking JPNFT’s Ethereum-based IP registry, used by major Japanese content holders, with JPG Store, Cardano’s largest NFT marketplace.
The project established a secure, cross-chain verification system that authenticates and certifies licensed NFTs in real time, enabling legal compliance and enterprise participation. Through a metadata-driven model, NFT issuers can now embed verifiable IP ownership and licensing information directly into Cardano transactions — a major step toward transparency, authenticity, and regulatory readiness across global markets.
Technically, the project achieved full interoperability between Ethereum and Cardano via metadata and API integrations, introduced the “JPNFT Certified” badge on JPG Store for visible proof of authenticity, and defined open metadata standards (JPNFT_IP_ID, ETH_TX_HASH, Verification_URL) to support universal verification. All milestones were completed on time and within budget, verified through Catalyst’s Proof-of-Achievement framework.
The impact extended across the ecosystem: new developers and IP holders joined the network, NFT marketplaces strengthened user trust, and Catalyst-funded platforms like NMKR and Socious adopted the certification model. Legal partner IP Forward confirmed compliance with Japanese IP law, while participating developers validated Cardano’s scalability for the issuance of regulated digital assets.
As part 4 of the 12-part Catalyst On-Chain Impact Series funded under Project Catalyst grant #1300150, this case study illustrates how cross-chain collaboration and open metadata standards can unlock institutional adoption, enhance trust, and position Cardano as a blockchain capable of supporting enterprise-grade digital assets in global markets.
