In June 2024 alone, over 8 million videos were removed from YouTube, according to Google’s Transparency Report. Each deletion represents a lost revenue opportunity and a risk to creators’ content security. CreatorHub provides a solution by bringing content on-chain, ensuring creators can preserve their work while protecting it from platform restrictions. With CreatorHub, creators gain the independence and control they need to build lasting careers by minting their channels and videos as NFTs, allowing them to fully own, manage, and monetize their content.
CreatorHub will implement subscriber tiers based on the YouTube Play Button system. These tiers will allow creators to unlock unique NFT images that correspond to their subscriber count:
a. Basic NFT (Under 10K Subscribers): A foundational NFT to mark a creator’s entry into the Web3 ecosystem.
b. Silver Play Button NFT (100K Subscribers): A silver NFT, symbolizing the creator’s achievement of building a substantial fanbase.
c. Gold Play Button NFT (1 Million Subscribers): A unique gold NFT, representing a significant milestone and fan engagement.
d. Diamond Play Button NFT (10 Million Subscribers): A coveted diamond NFT for top-tier creators, signifying exceptional success and brand value.
These tiered NFTs will serve as both a badge of honor and a way to visually differentiate creators based on their subscriber count, enhancing their branding within the Web3 ecosystem.
One of the major challenges we faced was the limited documentation available for ZKFetch, which led to a trial-and-error process during deployment, especially when integrating with the YouTube API. This made the development process more complex and time-consuming.
Additionally, creating a smooth onboarding experience for YouTube creators unfamiliar with Web3 was no easy task. Many creators find the technical aspects of blockchain and NFTs overwhelming. To address this, which allows users to create or register a new wallet simply through their email. This seamless technology eliminates the complexity often associated with setting up a crypto wallet, making it easier for creators to transition into Web3.
Another significant challenge was designing a secure and transparent royalty-sharing system. Our goal was to ensure that NFT holders could receive daily or monthly payouts in a fair and reliable way.
