The Problem

Platform Rent-Seeking

Patreon takes 5-12%. OnlyFans takes 20%. YouTube takes 45%. Creators are the product — platforms are the profit centers.

Platform Lock-In & Deplatforming

Creators build audiences on rented land. A policy change or ban can wipe out years of work overnight.

Slow Payouts

Traditional platforms hold funds for 30-60 days. Creators wait while platforms earn interest on their float.

Opaque Censorship

Content moderation is arbitrary. One person's "violation" is another's art. No due process, no appeal.

The Pledgly Solution

97% Revenue to Creators

Smart contracts split every subscription instantly: 97% to creator, 3% to protocol treasury for governance.

Own Your Audience

Subscriber relationships live on-chain. Portable, permanent, permissionless. No one can take them away.

Instant Settlement

Revenue arrives the moment a subscriber pays. No waiting, no holds, no intermediaries.

Flexible Tiering + NFT Gates

Set monthly USDC tiers. Publish free, subscriber-only, or NFT-gated premium content on IPFS.

Collaborator Splits

Add collaborators with custom revenue percentages. Revenue auto-distributes to the whole team.

One-Tap Tips in USDC

Fans can send one-time tips and donations. No subscription required. Just appreciation.

Decentralized Dispute Resolution

3-person validator panels resolve disputes. Staked validators ensure fairness. No centralized moderation.

Auto-Renew + Grace Periods

Subscriptions auto-renew monthly. 7-day grace period if payment lapses. Cancel anytime, prorated refunds.
