How the
exchange works.
EIPX is three things wired together: a structured listing marketplace, an option-agreement framework borrowed from Hollywood, and a trust layer that makes moving IP between strangers actually safe.
Originate & Timestamp
Upload the plan, blueprint, or dossier. EIPX hashes and timestamps the document, generating a provenance record that establishes first conception on the exchange.
Tier & List
Choose Idea, Blueprint, or Investor Ready. Set ask price and — optionally — an option fee. Public preview is NDA-gated with a redacted teaser.
Diligence Preview
Verified buyers sign a standardized NDA and unlock the full dossier for review. Every open is logged.
Option
Buyer pays the option fee. Listing locks to that buyer for the exclusivity window (typ. 30-90 days). EIPX takes a percentage.
Exercise & Settle
Buyer exercises. Full purchase price flows into EIPX escrow. IP assignment executes on-platform. Funds release, IP transfers, deal is done.
Package & Uplift
The new owner adds value — attaches talent, capital, LOIs, pilot markets, franchise operators, brand, or additional dossier artifacts — turning raw IP into an investor-ready package.
Relist & Flip
The packaged asset is relisted at a higher tier and ask. The uplift is the packager's spread. Originator receives residual credit; EIPX earns fees on the second leg.
Small fee.
Big optionality.
Every EIPX option agreement follows a standardized shape: fee, exclusivity window, exercise price, and IP assignment on exercise. Standard contracts keep the cost of a deal low enough that a market can actually clear.
The Smart Laundry deal, from list to launch.
Listed
Wash Cycle Labs uploads the Smart Laundry Pickup dossier and 90-day pilot data. Tier 2 · Blueprint. Ask $9,800.
Optioned
A regional laundromat operator options the plan for $900. 60-day exclusivity window opens. Full dossier unlocks.
Exercised
Buyer exercises. $9,800 clears escrow. IP assignment executes. Wash Cycle Labs is credited on-platform as originator.
Option. Package. Exercise. Relist. Repeat.
The Hollywood option isn't just a shelter — it's a workbench. Packagers use the exclusivity window to add value to an asset, then exercise to own it, then relist it at a higher tier. That is a repeatable business on top of EIPX: an operator layer of packagers, agents, and syndicates who earn from turning raw IP into investor-ready IP.
Lock the shelter
Pay a small fee for 30–90 days of exclusivity. No competing bids while you work.
Add value
Attach a franchise operator, LOI'd pilot cities, capital commitments, talent, brand, or supplementary dossier artifacts.
Take ownership
Convert the option to a full purchase. IP assigns through escrow. You now hold the upgraded asset.
Flip at a premium
Bring the packaged dossier back to the exchange at a higher tier. Spread = your profit.

For originators
You get paid twice: once at first sale, and again through residual creator credit and lineage on every relist.
For packagers
Earn the arbitrage between raw IP and investor-ready IP by attaching talent, capital, and pilots — no need to operate the business.
For EIPX
Fees on every leg — option, exercise, relist — compound as assets change hands. Each flip thickens the tape.
