The Fanbase Solution

Fanbase solves creator economy problems through blockchain payments, zero fees for stakers, and community governance via the $FAN token.

Blockchain-Powered Creator Economy

Fanbase rebuilds the creator economy on blockchain—eliminating rent-seeking middlemen and enabling features impossible on legacy infrastructure.

Core Innovation: Token economics replace fee extraction. Value flows TO participants, not FROM them.

  • Content separate from legal identity

  • Doxxing risk eliminated

Decentralized Architecture:

  • Wallet-based identity (you own it)

  • Community voting (token holder governance)

  • Transparent rules (smart contracts)
