Ecological Data Rights & IP

Subtype

Definition: Tokens governing access and use rights over ecological data.

Description

These crypto-assets define ownership and licensing conditions for biodiversity, carbon, or ecosystem datasets.

Example

SimplexDNA uses environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis to detect and catalog biodiversity in ecosystems by identifying organisms present through DNA traces collected from the environment. Samples are easily gathered, shipped, and analyzed in their lab to produce detailed ecological datasets covering species from microbes to mammals. SimplexDNA aims to eventually tokenize this rich ecological data as digital assets—Franklin tokens—enabling secure ownership, controlled access, and transparent sharing of biodiversity information.
