To securely manage access rights to private research data and IP, Molecule uses Lit Protocol's SDK. Lit is a leading technology provider for creating and managing access to encryption keys for different use-cases. In our case, Lit Protocol hosts the access control condition to an encrypted descyption key for the documents or data connected to an IP-NFT
