In today's Web2 ecosystem, donations to content creators are often hampered by centralized platforms that limit freedom and transparency. Creators can only rely on third-party services that hold funds temporarily, limit currency options, and lack transparency in transaction flows. Meanwhile, supporters face friction when they want to show their support. The main issues include: 1️⃣ Centralized & Non-Transparent Web2 donation platforms such as Ko-fi or local services (Trakteer, Saweria) are centralized – donations are held by intermediaries. This flow is less transparent and prone to delays; creators have to wait for disbursement, and supporters do not see the flow of funds behind the scenes. Full reliance on the platform, even though the platform can take cuts or hold funds without public oversight. 2️⃣ Limited Donation Options Many conventional platforms do not support crypto at all (only fiat such as USD transfers). Even if they do, the options are very limited – for example, only accepting 1-2 tokens such as USDC/USDT. As a result, donors are forced to exchange their assets for the limited options provided. This creates additional friction; supporters must go through the hassle of adapting instead of using the assets they already own. 3️⃣ Lack of Global Access Because they rely on fiat currencies or local payment methods, Web2 platforms limit their support reach. International fans face cross-border payment obstacles, conversion fees, or are even unable to donate at all if their country is not supported. This prevents creators from fully embracing their global community. 4️⃣ Limited Donation Monetization In traditional schemes, after creators receive donations, the funds are passively stored in their accounts or wallets. There is no automatic mechanism to grow the value of these donations. This means that opportunities to increase creators' income from accumulated funds are wasted. Kubi solves this problem with its innovative Auto-Yield feature, which automatically channels donation tokens into the DeFi lending protocol on the Base network to generate passive income for creators. Thus, each donation not only has value when it is given, but can continue to grow over time. Our Solutions Kubi is present on the Base network to address this problem with a trustless and open donation solution. With Kubi, the donation process is non-custodial and permissionless—meaning funds flow directly to the creator's wallet without being held by intermediaries, eliminating the need for middlemen to control funds or require special permissions. Additionally, Kubi offers full flexibility: supporters can freely donate using any ERC-20 tokens they hold, the system automatically converts those tokens into the creator's preferred currency, and smart maximizes financial benefits by generating yield automatically. Everything happens on-chain on Base, making it transparent and publicly traceable. In essence, Kubi simplifies life for creators and supporters with unlimited, intermediary-free, and hassle-free donations, blending the convenience of Web2 with the trust of Web3 within the Base Network ecosystem.
