Once your agent is built visually or through prompts, Botify turns it into a blockchain-based token, making it ownable and tradable.

Here’s how tokenization works:

* **Automatic Minting**: When you finalize your agent, Botify mints it as an **SPL NFT** (or semi-fungible token, depending on use case) on the Solana blockchain. This creates a digital certificate of ownership tied to your wallet.
* **Embedded Metadata**: Your token isn’t just a shell, it contains everything buyers need to know:
  * Agent name and category
  * Version number
  * Creator ID
  * Capabilities and licensing terms
* **Ownership You Can Prove**: As the creator, your wallet address is permanently linked to that agent. Even if someone buys, rents, or lists it elsewhere, the record of origin is always verifiable.
* **Licensing via Smart Contracts**: Tokens carry embedded rules for usage. Want to offer reusable bots, time-limited trials, or single-access licensing? Smart contracts write all of that into the token’s logic.
* **Upgradeable and Versioned**: Need to roll out an update? No problem. Botify lets you push new versions while maintaining a transparent history of past builds, giving users trust and giving you flexibility.

Tokenization turns your bots into digital products with **real-world value**, protected by blockchain and ready to sell, scale, and grow.
