Protocol Information
Founded in 2025, Aria is the first protocol to bring iconic real-world IP—starting with music—onchain as liquid, revenue-generating tradable tokens. Built on Story, Aria transforms cultural assets into IP Real-World Assets (IPRWAs). Retail investors access income-producing IP through Aria. Early offerings include partial rights to works performed by Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and BLACKPINK. Aria enables investors to access IP rights and earn real-world revenue from avenues such as streaming. Looking ahead, Aria will include programmable IP and power a permissioned remix economy, where smart contracts govern how IP is licensed, monetized, and remixed—laying the financial rails for the next era of the IP economy.
