Abstract
Blockchain Technology and Web3 solutions act as catalysts for innovation and creativity, providing artists with tools to experiment with new business models, services, and applications, free from the constraints of centralized entities. Digital innovation significantly impacts artists' ability to connect and create trusted communities, leveraging these technologies. Several platforms support the digitalization of creative arts, but Web3 platforms can revolutionize the sector by simplifying blockchain adoption, enabling the formation of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAOs), fostering innovative business models, enhancing legal transparency, nurturing communities, and driving creativity and competitiveness. This paper explores how Blockchain, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and related Web3 technologies can empower Creators by providing greater ownership and control over their creative works. A state-of-the-art analysis identifies the technical requirements for integrating blockchain and NFT-based services for user engagement and innovative business models. Additionally, a user-centred design approach was adopted to collect user requirements for managing creative works ownership, Intellectual Property Rights and revenue distribution through smart contracts. The results led to the implementation and validation of ChainPro for Artists (ChainPro4Artists), a Web3 innovative platform that supports advanced blockchain technologies, including Layer 2 infrastructures (e.g., Polygon) and DAOs tailored for artist communities.
