How It Works

The decentralized approach

1

Content Minting

Articles are minted as NFTs or protocol entries with on-chain provenance.

2

Stablecoin Payments

Subscribers pay directly in stablecoins — no payment processor middlemen.

3

Smart Contract Splits

Revenue automatically splits to collaborators, editors, and the writer.

4

Crowdfunded Stories

Communities can pool funds to commission specific content.

The Web3 Experience

Publish content that becomes an asset you own. Subscribers pay you directly in stablecoins. Collaborators get automatic revenue splits. Fans can resell access passes, and you earn royalties on every trade.

Your Value as a User

Own tradable access passes to exclusive content. Support creators directly with instant payments. Earn royalties when reselling access.
