  • Web3 Content IP ‘Arkstar’ Wins Grand Prize at the 4th ICT Business Model Idea Competition

    Web3 Content IP ‘Arkstar’ Wins Grand Prize at the 4th ICT Business Model Idea Competition

    [BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA, September 11, 2025] – The Arkstar(working title) project, a next-generation Web3 content IP, announced today that it has won the Grand Prize in the General Division at the ‘4th ICT Business Model Idea Competition,’ hosted by the Korea Association for ICT Promotion (KAIT).

    The competition, sponsored by the Ministry of Science and ICT, was established to discover and support the commercialization of innovative ICT-based business models. The ‘Arkstar’ project received high acclaim from the judges for its originality in integrating Web3 technology with the content IP industry and for its clear vision of building a sustainable, community-driven economic system.

    The 4th ICT Business Model Idea Competition

    ‘Arkstar’ proposes a groundbreaking business model where the community takes ownership of the IP, funding content creation and sharing in the profits. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of the traditional, centralized content industry by creating a decentralized ecosystem where fans and creators grow the IP together.

    The project was especially recognized for its potential as a pioneering model in the Web3 content space, presenting a concrete and feasible roadmap that includes considerations for a Security Token Offering (STO) in alignment with future government policies.

    “We are thrilled and honored that the vision and growth potential of the new content ecosystem proposed by Arkstar have been publicly recognized through this award,” said Naru, founder of the Arkstar project. “We will use this momentum to create the first successful case of a Web3 content IP that grows hand-in-hand with its community.”

    About the Arkstar Project
    Arkstar is a Web3 content IP project led by seasoned professionals from the film industry. The project is dedicated to building a transparent and sustainable content ecosystem co-created by artists and fans through Web3 technology and is being developed as the team’s first transmedia IP.
