REBEL is an easy-to-use minting and peer-to-peer creator payments system. Artists earn directly from their fans via crypto without needing any disbursement from social media or streaming institutions. Gone are the days of giant corporations taking billions and leaving their creators with fractions. Take control of your content. Own what's yours as a Rebel Artist!
See a video tutorial of the dApp here
- Art uploads automatically converted to ERC721 tokens (dead-simple minting)
- 1st class audio, image, video file support (universal media support)
- Fully functional on web and mobile
- For mobile, navigate to https://rebelartists.github.io/ in Metamask's mobile browser, see how here
- All media/metadata pinned to IPFS for permanent storage (censorship-resistant)
- Near-zero gas fees for all actions in dApp (Polygon network)
- Artists paid per "like" of their content (instant payouts)
- Direct fan-to-creator donations also possible
- Unlock valuable ERC20 tokens as "like milestones" reached (top creator rewards)
- Creators take 98% of all profits (transparent)
