He further noted the potential for lifetime IP revenue through smart contracts, possibly in approval that royalty payments may be encoded into a smart contract NFTs on the blockchain, with payments being made to the creator in the event that a physical product and the corresponding digital token change ownership through secondary market sales.<\/p>\n<p>Pinault also noted that some disruption could occur if web3 becomes a reality at scale.
