Abstract: One example computer-implemented collaborative NFT method involves receiving and digitally storing a set of files, each file comprising digital content; programmatically associating the set of files with a corresponding unique project identifier; receiving digital input specifying a final digital composition comprising information from the set of files; digitally storing the final digital composition as a digital object in a database; receiving digital input specifying an allocation of authorship shares representing a distribution of ownership rights in the digital object; minting, on a blockchain, an NFT comprising a reference to the digital object; creating, on the blockchain, a smart contract specifying a fractional ownership of the digital object, the smart contract comprising a pointer to a metadata file associated with the NFT, the metadata file comprising one or more links to one or more corresponding digital assets associated with the NFT, each digital asset comprising a representation of the NFT.
