ICMT PLATFORM

Whilst the ICMT platform will act as a NFT market place in the backend, the front-end UI and UX is crucial for creators to successfully market and consumers to successfully locate, preview and purchase content.

The ICMT platform will leverage blockchain technology to provide proof of ownership via smart contracts. Content will be accompanied by a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) which corresponds to that specific piece of content. The NFT will provide proof of ownership which is validated by participants on the network so there can be no dispute over who owns the rights to said content. The functionality of NFT’s gives the content creator the control to either sell complete ownership rights, rights to one in a limited collection or single rights to one of many.

V1 of the platform there will be two key elements, the creator’s portal, and the marketplace. There will be one type of account which provides access to both creators portal and marketplace, giving users access to both upload content and purchase content allowing stock content to be purchased as an utility.

CREATORS PORTAL This page is where content creators will control their ICMT account and content. Once an account has been verified the creator is free to connect their MetaMask wallet and begin buying, selling and trading content. Anyone can create an account and attempt to upload content, however, unlike a conventional NFT marketplace’s, ICMT will include automated content vetting to ensure quality parameters are met. If content quality (frame rate, dimensions, pixel count, etc) does not meet criteria specified in the purpose- built filter it will be blocked. This is to ensure only high-quality stock content is listed on ICMT Media.

MARKETPLACE The marketplace is where content is searched for, displayed, previewed, selected and purchased/exchanged. The latest and most popular content will be displayed on the home page, as well as content owned by the highest ICMT holders and contributors on the platform. Consumers can also search for content using a range of filters including, content dimensions, tags, style etc. Once the consumer has located and selected the content they wish to purchase, their MetaMask wallet will be prompted for connection.
