Decentralized Video
Creator-owned video infrastructure
Web3 video platforms use decentralized storage and delivery networks, enabling creators to own their content and earn 90%+ of revenue with instant settlement.
How It Works
The decentralized approach
Decentralized Upload
Videos are encoded and stored across a network of nodes, not central servers.
Node Economics
Transcoding and delivery nodes earn tokens for serving content.
NFT Memberships
Fans buy membership NFTs for exclusive content and community access.
Instant Revenue
Payments flow directly to creator wallets with every view or subscription.
The Web3 Experience
Upload once to a decentralized network. Set your own membership tiers with NFT access passes. Receive payments instantly to your wallet. If a frontend removes your content, it's still accessible from others.
Your Value as a User
Own permanent access to content via NFTs. Support creators directly and earn from secondary market royalties. Access content on any compatible platform.
Content ownership + creator support
Requires wallet management and understanding NFTs
