How It Works

The decentralized approach

1

Decentralized Upload

Videos are encoded and stored across a network of nodes, not central servers.

2

Node Economics

Transcoding and delivery nodes earn tokens for serving content.

3

NFT Memberships

Fans buy membership NFTs for exclusive content and community access.

4

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.

Key Benefit

Content ownership + creator support

Warning

Requires wallet management and understanding NFTs
