IP Development: Ownership, Design, and Collaborative World-Building with Rebecca Barkin, Co-Founder and CEO of Lamina1

​For decades, independent creators have faced a difficult choice—maintain full ownership of their IP or sign deals that restrict their creative control and disconnect them from their fans. Web 3.0 poses a challenge to the status quo. By leveraging decentralized tools, creators can now develop, expand, and monetize their IP while retaining full rights. This shift isn’t just about technology—it’s about the power in creative freedom, fair compensation, and the collaborative and agile design methodologies that allow us to imagine and build new worlds in concert with our communities.
