Monetize Instantly. Own Your Content.
About
The problem it solves **BasePaywall solves the main problems of monetizing digital content:** - The difficulty of receiving direct payments without intermediary platforms (e.g., Substack and Gumroad), which charge high fees, and 2) lack of transparency and control for creators over their earnings. - It also addresses the lack of transparency and control that creators have over their earnings. - Slow and expensive payment processes that often require user accounts or identities. - The lack of flexible access models, such as one-time payments, time leases, or access NFTs. **With BasePaywall, creators can:** - Sell digital content directly on the Base L2 blockchain (very low gas fees and instant transactions). - Receive payments directly in their wallets with a 97.5% payout and a 2.5% platform fee. - BasePaywall offers a variety of access models, including permanent access, time leases, and tradable access NFTs.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into - Design flexible and secure smart contracts for various access models, such as permanent, time-limited, and NFT. - Maintain compatibility between contract versions (V1–V4) so existing users can access their content. - Integrating with Web3 wallets without compromising the user experience (no account or email required, just a wallet). - We provide a payment system that easily integrates with APIs (x402 protocol) and front-end applications. - We maintain low transaction fees and a seamless user experience on the Base L2 network.
