Artizcoin by Artizyou

What Artizcoin by Artizyou does

Artizcoin by Artizyou is a Montreal-headquartered blockchain and AI company that operates the Artizyou platform for certifying, protecting, and tokenizing intellectual property. Its core technology combines a proprietary Non-Fungible Certificate (NFC) protocol — described as a refined version of ERC721C that embeds usage licenses directly into blockchain tokens — with a B-IP (Blockchain Intellectual Property) certificate standard, an AI-powered multi-modal plagiarism detection system (v1.0 through v1.3 and a beta IP AI bot), and smart-contract-based royalty and licensing engines. The platform is deployed across multiple chains (Solana SPL token, Polygon, Ethereum, Algorand, with planned ICP) and integrates with NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea and Recur, plus a proprietary Artizstore Beta marketplace.

The company sells its services primarily to individual creators and micro-businesses — painters, photographers, musicians, software developers, designers, scientists, and entrepreneurs — who need low-cost, internationally verifiable proof of authorship for works that traditional copyright and patent systems do not efficiently cover. B2B distribution flows through partner law firms (Paul Frank + Collins, CAG, OA Legal, HUB6) and direct sales led by VPs of Business Development in North America and an Artiz Europe administration manager.

Revenue mechanics combine a utility token ($ART, fixed 100M supply) used for IP certification fees, marketplace transactions, legal consultations, and licensing/royalty flows, with 10-20% of platform revenues committed to $ART buyback and liquidity support. The company has run a March 2022 seed token round (1M ART at $0.21), private and public sales, and an August 2025 fair launch via FlipFlop.plus (25M tokens distributed, excluding U.S. and Canada). No revenue figure is disclosed; the firm reports 7,000-8,000 monthly active creators and a 30+ person contributor base across Montreal, Geneva, San Jose, and Los Angeles. Recent strategic actions include the 2025 spin-off of the NFC protocol into a sister platform, the unveiling of the Financial Patent Indicator in March 2026, and an ongoing pipeline of masterclass, marketplace, and MetaVerse roadmap items extending to 2027.

Revenue model

1. Token Sale (Utility Token): Sale of ART utility tokens via Seed Round (1,000,000 tokens at $0.21/token with 15% discount), Private Sale (Whitelist), and Fair Launch (25M tokens via FlipFlop Dynamic Pricing). Not an investment vehicle, used to access platform services.
2. Platform Service Fees (IP Certification): Creators use ART tokens to certify, protect, and tokenize their IP through the Artizyou platform; access to IP masterclasses, legal consultations, plagiarism detection, and licensing tools is paid in ART.
3. Marketplace Transaction Fees & Royalties: IP marketplace for buying/selling copyrights, Music/Book IP listings, commercial licensing, and virtual/physical rights generates transaction fees and royalties on each trade. Project commits 10-20% of all platform revenues to buy back $ART and add to liquidity pools.
4. Professional Legal Services: Access to specialized IP lawyers for qualitative consultations and support in cases of fraud or litigation, compensated for using the Artizcoin (ART) token.
5. Licensing & Royalty Monetization: Creators license commercial and non-commercial rights to their IP through the platform, with royalties captured on each transaction for both virtual and physical exploitation (prints, limited series, derivative products).

Core offering

Artizyou provides a blockchain-based platform that certifies, tokenizes, and protects intellectual property through its proprietary NFC (Non-Fungible Certificate) Protocol and bIP (Blockchain Intellectual Property) Certificate, anchored to a distributed ledger across multiple blockchains. The platform combines AI-powered plagiarism detection, the Financial Patent Indicator, and embedded IP licensing rights into a single ecosystem that also includes the ART utility token, an NFT/IP marketplace, an IP Masterclass training platform, and a public API for third-party integration.

Product overview

Artizcoin by Artizyou operates as a single unified platform (the Artizyou Platform) augmented by a portfolio of modules and sub-products rather than separate standalone products. At the center is the Artizyou Platform, which bundles copyright registration, AI-powered plagiarism detection (the Plagiarism Detector and beta Plagiarism Detection IP AI bot), bIP (Blockchain Intellectual Property) certificates, and the NFC (Non-Fungible Certificate) protocol for tokenizing IP. The Artizcoin ($ART/NFC) utility token powers on-platform transactions, while the Artiz NFC Manager (Beta on Polygon, MetaVerse on roadmap) handles day-to-day certificate management. Distribution and monetization flow through the Artizstore Beta marketplace, the planned IP Marketplace, and the Artiz Cloud Blockchain infrastructure layer. Adjacent offerings include the IP Masterclass Platform for education, IP Legal Services delivered with partner law firms, the Financial Patent Indicator analytics module, the Artizyou Public API for law firms and legal departments, and the related BipQuantum sub-platform that extends IP tokenization beyond the core product.
