Blockchain platform for digital artists and creators to securely register, manage, and transfer digital intellectual property.
Based in Berlin, Germany, Ascribe provides a blockchain-based ownership layer that allows digital artists and content creators to securely register, manage, license, and transfer their intellectual property. The platform generates cryptographic certificates of authenticity to establish provenance, track ownership history, and protect digital media from unauthorized duplication across online marketplaces. Before winding down its primary operations, the company successfully registered over 30,000 digital artworks for more than 5,000 creators on its network. Ascribe raised $2 million in seed funding from a syndicate of institutional investors that included Earlybird Venture Capital, Digital Currency Group, and Target Partners. The core team eventually transitioned their focus away from the inactive registry to launch new blockchain infrastructure projects like BigchainDB and Ocean Protocol. The company was founded in 2014 by Bruce Pon, Trent McConaghy, and Masha McConaghy.
