Here is the full English translation of the proposal, keeping the structure and nuance:
✅ Goal
To combine smart contracts and image-generation AI so that revenue from derivative works automatically flows back to the original (primary) creators.
🎯 Key Points for Implementation
- A system where primary creators register their rights
- The AI can track which primary work a new image is based on
- That information is passed to a smart contract
- Revenue is automatically split when the derivative work is sold or used
🔧 Overall Architecture
[1] Rights Holder Registration Platform
↓ (Issues a “Work ID” as an NFT/token)
[2] Rights Metadata Registry (on-chain or hybrid)
↓ (AI can reference these rights)
[3] Image-Generation AI
↓ (Outputs which Work IDs were used + similarity scores)
[4] Smart Contract
- Primary creator address
- Secondary creator address
- Royalty share
- Referenced Work ID
Automatically distributes revenue
↓
[5] Marketplace
- Applies royalty split at sale time
🌱 1. Tokenizing Primary Works as “Work IDs”
Primary creators register like this:
▶ Mechanism
- Hash the original work (image → SHA-256)
- Mint an NFT (ERC-721 or ERC-1155) containing the hash as metadata
- NFT is linked to the creator’s wallet
▶ Benefits
- Ownership is publicly verifiable on-chain
- Disputes are reduced
- Derivative works can explicitly reference the original Work ID
🧠 2. AI Associates the Generated Image with a Primary Work
Method A: User specifies the primary Work ID
Example:
“Generate an image based on Work ID #123.”
The AI outputs: used_work_id = 123.
Method B: AI auto-detects similarity
- Extract features from the generated image
- Compare them to registered works
- If similarity > threshold (e.g., 0.80), auto-link the Work ID
This allows the AI to declare which primary work influenced the derivative.
💰 3. Revenue Sharing via Smart Contract
Required fields in the smart contract
struct RoyaltyInfo {
address primary_creator; // Primary creator
address secondary_creator; // Derivative creator
uint256 primary_share; // e.g., 30%
uint256 secondary_share; // e.g., 70%
uint256 referenced_work_id; // Original Work ID
}
Revenue flow
- Derivative work is sold as an NFT
- Payment goes into the smart contract
- Contract automatically sends the appropriate portion to the primary creator
- Remaining amount goes to the derivative creator
Royalties also apply to secondary sales (via ERC-2981 etc.)
🛒 4. Marketplace Integration
At sale time:
- Payment is sent to the contract
- Contract calculates royalties
- Funds are automatically distributed to primary & secondary creators
💡 Practical Issues & Solutions
① Legality of copyright
Minting NFTs of others’ works is illegal.
→ Use an official registration system where primary creators register their own works.
② Accuracy in detecting referenced works
→ Improve similarity models
→ Optionally let creators publish feature vectors of their works for better matching.
③ Gas fees
→ Use L2 chains like Polygon or Arbitrum for low-cost transactions.
🌟 Extensions & Advanced Ideas
1. Foundation for a new “creator economy”
Primary creator registers →
Fans create derivative works →
Each sale generates automatic royalties →
Sustainable creator ecosystem
2. Automatic “AI training license fees”
When the AI trains on a work with a registered Work ID:
→ Automatically send micro-payments to the rights holder.
3. Blockchain transparency of derivative creation
- Which primary work was referenced
- How much revenue was generated
- How much royalty was paid
All transparently recorded on-chain.
📌 Summary
Combining smart contracts + image-generation AI can realistically create a system where:
- Primary works have on-chain Work IDs
- AI indicates which Work ID it referenced
- Smart contracts automatically distribute royalties
- Marketplaces handle payments without manual intervention
This is technically feasible today.
🔧 If you want, I can also produce:
- A prototype Solidity smart contract
- Metadata schema (JSON)
- API design for the AI system
- Similarity detection pipeline
- Full architecture diagrams
