# $APL

$APL is the first IP RWA (Intellectual Property Real-World Asset) token launched on Aria Protocol. It is a fungible token backed by iconic music rights acquired by Aria Management Company (affiliated with Aria Protocol Labs Inc.).

The $APL token represents the Aria Premiere Launch catalog; a collection of partial rights to 48 iconic songs acquired to date from the $10.95 million USDC raised using StakeStone’s LiquidityPad.

Following the launch of remixable IP and the Aria Global Remix Contest featuring 3 songs from South Korean artist and actress NANA, the token will also be linked to any remixes of the 3 tracks released by a label. 

Holders are entitled to a share of potential real-world revenue generated by the underlying IP assets.

$APL brings a new kind of asset onchain: income-generating IP you can own, stake, and earn from.
