City Protocol has announced a strategic partnership with Cwallet, a global cryptocurrency wallet provider serving more than 37 million active users. The collaboration marks a significant step in City Protocol’s effort to build accessible Web3 markets for intellectual property by simplifying user onboarding and integrating familiar payment solutions. Through this alliance, the platform aims to reduce friction for creators and users seeking to participate in tokenized IP ecosystems.
City Protocol has been developing infrastructure for on-chain intellectual property capital markets since its early stages. Its long-term vision includes enabling creators to tokenize intellectual property, Digital Autonomous Tokens, and real-world assets. The project has attracted backing from well-known institutional investors such as Jump Trading, Dragonfly, and CMT Digital, signaling strong confidence in the potential of tokenized IP as an emerging asset class.
Addressing Web3 Onboarding Challenges
One of the biggest obstacles to broader Web3 adoption has been the complexity involved in onboarding new users. City Protocol has focused on building comprehensive tools for IP token creation, but widespread participation also depends on intuitive interfaces and straightforward payment methods. The partnership with Cwallet is intended to address this challenge by combining City Protocol’s tokenization framework with a wallet environment that users already recognize and trust.
Cwallet’s role in the collaboration centers on usability and accessibility. By integrating with a widely used wallet platform, City Protocol can lower the technical barriers that often discourage creators and consumers from engaging with Web3 products. This approach is expected to make IP tokenization more approachable for users without deep blockchain experience.
Cwallet’s Scale and Infrastructure
Cwallet has evolved from a small project into a major global wallet solution supporting more than 1,000 tokens across over 60 blockchains. Its platform is positioned as a Web2.5 financial system that blends blockchain technology with traditional finance in a seamless manner. Over seven years of operation, Cwallet has maintained a strong security record, with no major incidents reported, and holds certifications such as PCI DSS and MSB, reinforcing user confidence in its services.
The wallet’s extensive feature set further strengthens the partnership. Cwallet enables users to purchase more than 500 tokens using fiat currencies in over 100 countries, supported by more than 50 localized payment methods. This infrastructure is particularly valuable for creators who may not already hold crypto assets but want to participate in tokenized IP markets without facing steep entry barriers.

Simplifying IP Tokenization for Creators
City Protocol and Cwallet are also exploring gateway-based onboarding for Web3 IP. This model would allow authors and creators to tokenize their intellectual property without installing complex wallets or managing seed phrases, which are often cited as major pain points in Web3 adoption. By offering simplified interfaces, the partnership seeks to remove technical hurdles that have limited mainstream participation in decentralized ecosystems.
The collaboration aligns with broader industry trends toward improving usability. Similar initiatives have emerged elsewhere, including City Protocol’s recent work with OKX Wallet to support cross-chain access to real-world assets. Industry research has indicated that tokenization infrastructure is evolving rapidly, with simplified user experiences becoming critical for mass adoption.
Expanding Access to a New Asset Class
As a result of the partnership, Cwallet’s existing user base will gain access to a new category of digital assets. Users will be able to participate in IP capital markets, support creative projects from early stages, trade tokenized cultural assets, and potentially earn yields from IP-backed instruments, all within a familiar wallet interface.
For creators worldwide, the collaboration carries broader implications. Many have struggled to access traditional funding channels, limiting the monetization of creative work. By making IP tokenization more user-friendly and widely accessible, City Protocol and Cwallet aim to unlock significant untapped creative value, potentially bringing billions of dollars’ worth of intellectual property into the Web3 economy.
