[Aria Foundation Established to Promote On-Chain IP Economic Development] Aria announced the establishment of the Aria Foundation, responsible for governing its decentralized protocol and advancing the on-chain process of iconic IPs. The Aria Protocol has already supported the on-chain integration of song royalties for artists like Justin Bieber and BLACKPINK, and has issued IP asset tokens (APL). This September, the project completed a $15 million financing round, with investors including Polychain Capital. The foundation will focus on ecosystem resource management, IP asset issuance, and protocol governance, with its laboratory providing technical support.
