Project Description

This project is a next-generation digital service provider (DSP) designed to offer a fully transparent and artist-centric streaming experience. It empowers creators with an honest, direct-to-consumer model where they’re paid automatically as their content is streamed, ensuring fair compensation in real time. By removing traditional intermediaries, the platform enables a clear, trustworthy relationship between creators and their audiences.

How it's Made

Behind the scenes, the system uses innovative techniques powered by x402 to enable minute-by-minute micropayments. Content is securely uploaded and stored on Filecoin with end-to-end encryption to maintain privacy. Through the Coinbase Developer Platform, users are seamlessly onboarded with embedded wallets and on-ramped into Base USDC, which is then used to pay creators via x402 for the exact amount of content consumed—no more, no less.
