NFT Value Proposition & IP Rights

- License their ROKI to third parties
- Build businesses around their specific character
- Profit from derivative work (100% of revenue)
#16.4 License Scope
License applies to the specific NFT the holder owns. Cannot commercialize other holders' NFTs without permission. Can reference the broader ROKI universe in derivative work. Cannot claim official endorsement unless partnered. License transfers with the NFT on secondary sale.
#16.5 Content Restrictions
No hate speech, illegal content, or content that violates platform terms. No content that damages the ROKI brand. Violations may result in license revocation for the specific NFT.
#16.6 Airdrop & Benefit Policy
Airdrops and benefits flow to CURRENT NFT HOLDERS at the time of distribution, not to original minters. Preserves secondary market value.
#16.7 Long-Term Implication
The ‘NFT holders are center of ecosystem’ framing is a binding implicit contract. All future products must either include NFT holders or justify why they don't.
