Project Description

Project Overview: conecto In today’s digital era, content creators enrich our lives by entertaining, educating, and inspiring us. Yet, they face significant challenges: platform dependency and monetization barriers. The Problem Platform Dependency: Creators often rely on centralized platforms that control their rules, visibility, and revenue streams. A ban, or policy change can wipe out years of effort, leaving creators without an audience. Monetization Barriers: Platforms take hefty fees, restrict monetization opportunities, and act as middlemen between creators and their communities. Our Web3 Solution Leveraging blockchain technology, our service empowers creators to own their content, community, and revenue streams. Here's how: Direct Subscriptions: Creators set up subscription plans on a decentralized Web3 platform. Fans subscribe and receive an NFT or token as proof of payment. Universal Access: These tokens act as access keys, allowing fans to unlock content across any platform chosen by the creator—or even on a custom platform. Fair Monetization: With no middlemen, creators retain full control of their income and direct engagement with their fans. New opportunities for the content creator space This approach transforms the content creation space by: Decentralizing control: Creators are no longer at the mercy of centralized platforms. Enhancing flexibility: Tokens provide a seamless way to access content across multiple platforms. Unlocking opportunities: Third-party developers and media agencies can build tailored platforms for creators, while fans enjoy simplified subscriptions without dealing with multiple payment systems. The Vision We envision a world where creators thrive independently, fans experience better value and access, and a vibrant ecosystem of decentralized platforms fosters innovation and collaboration. Join us in reshaping the future of content creation with the power of Web3!

How it's Made

How Our Web3 Service Works: A Step-by-Step Guide We make it simple for creators to build direct, decentralized connections with their fans. Here’s how the process works:

A) For the Creator

  1. Onboarding and Smart Contract Deployment
  • When a creator signs up and chooses a unique slug/handle (e.g., creatorname), a smart contract is automatically deployed on Base via our factory contract.
  • This smart contract is personalized and becomes the creator's hub for subscriptions and interactions with fans.
  1. Dashboard Customization
  • Once the slug is created, the creator accesses a dashboard hosted on Vercel, where they can: Add descriptions about themselves or their content. Customize their landing page to match their branding. Define subscription tiers and pricing.
  • All data, including subscription details, is stored on-chain for transparency and immutability.
  1. Sharing the Subscription Page
  • The creator’s subscription landing page is instantly accessible via a URL format like ourplatform.com/creatorname.
  • This page showcases the creator's offerings and invites fans to subscribe.

B) For the Fan

  1. Accessing the Creator’s Page
  • Fans visit the creator’s landing page via the shared URL.
  • To subscribe, fans connect their Web3 wallet on the page.
  1. Purchasing a Subscription
  • Fans choose a subscription plan and make a payment directly in cryptocurrency.
  • Upon successful payment, they receive a subscription key, an ERC-1155 NFT, directly in their wallet.
  1. Unlocking Exclusive Benefits
  • The NFT acts as both proof of subscription and a key to unlock benefits.
  • Using Push Protocol, fans with the NFT can join the creator's exclusive group chat for direct interaction.
  • The NFT enables seamless access to premium content across platforms specified by the creator.

Why Push Protocol? We use Push Protocol for group chats because it seamlessly integrates our need for secure, decentralized communication. Fans owning the creator’s NFT can easily join private groups, fostering closer connections between creators and their communities.

The Benefits For Creators: Full ownership of their revenue, audience, and content. They gain independence from centralized platforms while enjoying an easy-to-use interface for managing subscriptions. For Fans: Simple, transparent access to exclusive content. Fans can carry their subscription keys across platforms without repeatedly registering or entering payment details. This system ensures a direct, fair, and decentralized relationship between creators and their fans while leveraging the power of blockchain to redefine content monetization.
