Ideas are important to people. People like to have ideas. But it is easy to lose a sense of ownership of them. This is why many companies have non-disclosure agreements; they don’t want to lose ownership of their ideas.

You have a great idea. As long as it stays in your head you have total ownership and control of it. Sometimes that is just fine, but in many cases you want to do something with your idea or share your idea with other people. So you tell 5 people your idea and now they have it too. Now whose idea is it? Who owns and controls the idea? How can you prove it? How can everybody agree that someone has greater ownership and control of an idea? How do you transfer ownership of an idea?

mokens.io enables you to get an idea out of your head and into a digital form that you own and control. A moken is an idea that you specifically have, but can share with everyone. And you can use, transfer or sell your moken, your idea, to someone else if you want to.

The image, description and tags of your moken are like clothes for your idea. They show your idea, provide more understanding of it and make it prettier or more interesting.

People make mokens because it is fun and they like having them. They are collectibles.

I am continuing to add more functionality and uses for mokens so you can do more with them too.
