Web3 & Cross-Chain Content Rights Feasibility Study

The Problem This Solves

Most media companies exploring Web3 are asking the wrong question. “How do we put our content on a blockchain?” misses the point. The right question is: which specific problems in your rights and distribution chain does a blockchain actually solve better than a database?

This engagement starts with your business problem — content portability, royalty transparency, cross-platform licensing, creator compensation, or secondary market participation — and works backward to determine whether a blockchain solution is genuinely warranted, and if so, what it should look like.

1. Feasibility Assessment

   Honest evaluation of whether your use case is a good fit for blockchain-based rights management — including the cases where it isn’t, and what the alternative should be.

2. Architecture Roadmap

   If feasible: a concrete architecture design covering token models, chain selection (Polkadot, Ethereum, L2), smart contract scope, cross-chain transfer mechanisms, and integration points with your existing CMS and billing systems.

3. Implementation Path

   Phased delivery plan with effort estimates, team requirements, key risks, and a realistic timeline to MVP.

Background

This work builds directly on active research and production experience:

• MSc thesis at the University of Malta on Cross-Chain Content Rights Management Service — a Substrate parachain prototype with 17 extrinsics, Snowbridge integration, and a custom EVM precompile
• Production work on InkTix, a deployed Polkadot dApp with XCM cross-chain transfers and multi-currency support
• Technical due diligence on Axie Infinity, Immutable X, and Helium for Liberty Global Ventures

Engagement Details

• Duration: 2–3 weeks
• Format: Remote; structured discovery sessions followed by independent research and architecture design
• Deliverable: Written feasibility report with architecture design, risk assessment, implementation roadmap, and executive summary suitable for board or investor review
• Fee: $15,000–$25,000 depending on scope and system complexity
