[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Our proposed solution is to establish a set of licensing standards for NFTs on NMKR, encompassing various use cases such as limited use rights, 1099 contracts, and special purpose vehicles (SPVs). We will work closely with legal experts to develop legally enforceable contract templates that provide clarity and facilitate business transactions within the NMKR ecosystem. These licensing standards and contract templates will streamline the onboarding process for businesses, encourage adoption, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Our solution addresses the challenge by providing standardized licensing frameworks and contract templates tailored specifically for NFTs on NMKR. By offering clear guidelines and legal frameworks, businesses will have a reliable and efficient way to license their NFTs, establish contractual relationships, and engage in transactions. This will enhance legal clarity, reduce friction, and increase confidence among businesses and investors operating within the NMKR ecosystem. It will also attract a wider range of businesses to leverage NMKR for their NFT offerings, fostering ecosystem growth and sustainability.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?
