Executive Summary
Introduction
EhanLabs represents the world's first fully on-chain, decentralized AI marketplace built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP). Our platform solves the critical challenges of ownership, trust, and fair compensation in the AI economy by combining groundbreaking blockchain technology with autonomous AI agents.
The Problem
The AI content economy is experiencing unprecedented growth, yet creators face systemic challenges:
Theft & Misappropriation: 76% increase in AI-generated content with plagiarism concerns, with major entertainment companies filing lawsuits against AI platforms
Trust Deficit: Legal ambiguity around AI-generated content ownership, with US courts ruling that AI works without human input cannot be copyrighted
Centralized Control: 84% of AI tools have experienced data breaches, with high platform fees (20-30%) and opaque rights management
The EhanLabs Solution
EhanLabs addresses these fundamental issues through four core innovations:
On-Chain Proof: Immutable blockchain records ensure originality and ownership of every AI asset
NFT-Style Licensing: Automated royalty distribution and secure, transparent transactions
Agentic AI Integration: Autonomous AI agents verify content originality, detect duplicates, and analyze marketplace data directly on-chain
DAO Governance: Progressive decentralization ensures community-driven decision-making
Market Opportunity
EhanLabs operates at the intersection of two of the world's fastest-growing industries:
Total Addressable Market (TAM): $400 billion by 2030
Web3 Creator Economy: $100 billion by 2028
AI-as-a-Service Market: $300 billion by 2030
Target Segment: Decentralized AI Ownership Layer
Worth $40 billion at just 10% market penetration
Growth Drivers:
Verified AI Ownership
Smart Licensing
Recurring Marketplace Revenue
The $EHAN Token
The EhanLabs ecosystem is powered by $EHAN, a native governance token built on ICP's ICRC-1 standard:
Governance Rights: Vote on protocol upgrades, fee structures, and treasury allocation
Staking for Fee Reduction: Stake $EHAN to reduce platform fees from 5% to as low as 1%
Creator Rewards: Additional compensation for high-quality, verified content
DAO Participation: Proposal submission and voting rights
Technical Foundation
EhanLabs leverages:
Internet Computer Protocol (ICP): Canister-based smart contracts enabling web-speed, low-cost, infinitely scalable operations
Fully On-Chain Architecture: No off-chain databases - all data, transactions, and verification occur on the blockchain
Mastra AI Framework: Agentic AI agents that autonomously interact with smart contracts to verify originality and manage marketplace intelligence
Roadmap Overview
Vision
EhanLabs envisions a future where AI creators are fairly compensated, ownership is provable and immutable, and the AI economy operates with complete transparency and trust — all powered by blockchain technology and autonomous AI agents.
