Introduction

Every creator dreams of building the next Disney, Marvel, or Nintendo. But the path from idea to empire has always been locked behind institutional capital, exclusive distribution networks, and opaque royalty systems.

The result? Brilliant IPs die in obscurity while middlemen capture the value.

This changes now. Cooking City transforms IP creation from a closed, inefficient market into an open, programmable ecosystem. We're not just launching tokens, we're building the full-stack infrastructure for IP to evolve from spark to self-sustaining franchise.

Our vision aligns perfectly with Solana's Internet Capital Markets (ICM) thesis, the idea that every asset, product, and service will eventually trade on global, permissionless markets. Just as ICM envisions stocks, bonds, and commodities flowing freely on-chain, we're bringing that same transformation to intellectual property.

IP represents one of the largest untapped asset classes in the ICM ecosystem, and Cooking City provides the rails to unlock it. When culture becomes liquid and creative assets trade 24/7 with instant settlement, we complete another crucial piece of the ICM puzzle.

The platform enables what was previously impossible: fair launches where early believers become co-owners, transparent distribution maps that show where attention compounds, portable on-chain identity that reveals user behaviors, AI-powered content creation that scales culture, and financial rails that turn IP into collateralizable assets. Every module in our stack addresses a specific bottleneck in the IP lifecycle, and together they create a flywheel where each success compounds the next.

This convergence of IP and ICM isn't coincidental; it's inevitable. As markets become more efficient and accessible, every form of value seeks liquidity. Intellectual property, despite generating trillions in annual revenue, remains one of the most illiquid asset classes on Earth. By bringing IP fully on-chain with transparent price discovery, instant global access, and programmable ownership, we're not just building another platform; we're extending the Internet Capital Markets into the realm of human creativity itself.

This is the promise of the IP Capital Market, where creativity meets capital, fans become builders, and every IP has a shot at becoming the next global phenomenon. Welcome to Cooking City.
