The problem Creator Nation solves

Problem #1: High barrier to entry in the current NFT space. Lots of wallets, multiple fund transfers and gas fees just to buy an NFT. The average person(90%+ of the population) has too much of a learning curve to participate.

Solution: A simple Web+Mobile experience for the average person. The Creator Nation mobile app acts as a wallet without requiring the user to know what a wallet is. Additionally, we support Stripe payments to provide a seamless experience to Web2 users. (Crypto enthusiasts can use the standard Web3-Metamask interface.)

Problem #2: Transactional relationship between NFT owner and buyer. Most NFTs are just Images/GIFs with no benefits. Our view is that the future of NFTs lies in its ability to provide value to holders beyond a quick profit.

Solution: We enable fans to invest in Creators through Creator Tokens. Holders of the token get exclusive benefits for holding and make an ROI on sale. Creators can further reward their communities by offering token based rewards and dividends.

Problem #3: Limited monetisation options all across the internet.

Solution:

Creator Tokens - Creators can launch a Creator Token that enables their supporters to invest in their growth. Holders of the token get exclusive benefits for holding and make an ROI on sale. Creators can further reward their communities by offering token based rewards and dividends.

Memberships - Allow supporters to fund their favourite Creator's work. Various tiers of memberships to help Creators and Businesses alike. Tier based benefits for every subscriber.

Collectibles & Licensing - Creators and Businesses can license their content in just a few clicks and earn a lifetime of royalties! Perfect for studios looking to license famous scenes from their movies or a musician looking to cut out the middleman.

Connect - Allows Creators to connect with their supporters over a 30 minute session or invite them to be a part of their next video. Endless possibilities.

Challenges we ran into

• WalletConnect SDK implementation in web to make our Creator Nation Mobile App act as the wallet to the website.
• Chainlink Pricefeeds to provide USD-MATIC conversion.
