Problem:

Photo marketplaces take massive % of a photos sale:

• stock.adobe.com: 40-80%
• shutterstock.com: 70-80%
• alamy.com: 50%

Photographers should be earning the majority of the sale, not the other way around.

Our solution

Photographers upload an image and mint an “Asset NFT”. Media buyers mint a “License NFT” to define usage and enable payments.

Payments automatically stream to the Asset NFT creating cash flow for the photographer. 0xPhotos is streamed 2% of all payments through the system to fund the intended DAO and future development.

Asset NFTs become future cash flow positive assets that can be traded on NFT marketplaces.

The build:

• NFT 721 asset contract

• NFT 721 license contract

• Superfluid Tradeable Cashflow contract

• React-based NFT website + marketplace

Technologies

• Polygon: All contracts and NFTs (minting + marketplace) are on Polygon instead of L1.

• IPFS: We store all assets and licenses on IPFS.

• Moralis: Moralis is our API for interacting with the blockchain.

• Superfluid: Anyone who licenses content opens a SuperFluid stream paying the NFT's owner.

• Covalent: NFT indexing and metadata.

• Next.js for frontend

• Truffle and Remix for Solidity development
