In an age where anyone can snap a photo and post it online, photographers are increasingly at risk of having their work stolen and used without permission. This is where blockchain comes in. By embedding digital watermarks or other identifying information into photos using blockchain technology, photographers can better protect their copyrighted images. If someone tries to steal a photo, the embedded information will help to prove that the photographer is the rightful owner. In addition, blockchain-based copyright protection systems could be used to automatically enforce copyright law, meaning photographers would no longer have to spend time and money manually enforcing their rights. As blockchain technology continues to grow, it may offer new opportunities for photographers to safeguard their work from theft.

In the age of digital technology, it has become easier than ever to copy and distribute photographs. As a result, many photographers have found it difficult to protect their copyright. However, recent advances in blockchain technology may offer a solution. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique digital artworks that can be stored on a blockchain. This makes them tamper-proof and easy to track. As a result, NFTs could certify a photograph's ownership and prevent unlawful copying. All submitted photos are required to have the Title of Ownership generated by trusted platform seed.photo. SEED is based on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) NFT marketplace.
