Moxie founder Neonwight outlined the platform’s strategy for combining artificial intelligence (AI) with crypto to create “Sex Capital Markets.”

He said the controversial concept was fundamentally about financial inclusivity and unlocking productivity for marginalized creators. 

He stated in an interview with CryptoSlate:

“Adult creators are one of the most marginalized professions in society. Banks refuse to serve them, and Visa and Mastercard charge north of 10% to 15% processing fees because they view adult content as legal and reputational risk.”

Neonwight detailed personal experiences with banking discrimination, citing instances where his bank blocked OnlyFans payments after two transactions. The bank told him it does not “serve payments in those kinds of industries.”

Neonwight provided specific data on creator earnings, noting that he reached out to adult content creators who generate between $50,000 and $100,000 monthly revenue, translating to $600,000 to $1.2 million annual recurring revenue. 

Despite these successful business metrics, creators cannot access traditional banking services, business loans, or investment opportunities available to other entrepreneurs. Having a revenue stream fully powered via crypto rails could address the debanking issues faced by adult content creators.

Shifting metas

Moxie was born as an AI agent deployed through the Virtuals Protocol. Users could access Moxie’s services through the Agent Commerce Protocol and commission AI-generated adult content, paying $10 worth of VIRTUAL tokens.

Since then, Moxie has experienced some changes. First, it left the Virtuals platform due to policy issues. Then, the same model of commissioned content was applied to a proprietary platform, but using a pre-set model called Jenny.

As of Aug. 12, Moxie offers a chat that emulates a real conversation, where Jenny sends AI-generated content, and users can pay 400 MOXIE tokens to see it.

According to Neonwight, Moxie targets OnlyFans’ core revenue driver. Over 80% of the platform’s $7 billion annual revenue derives from customized one-on-one content. 

He explained:

“It becomes an issue for very famous content creators because they don’t have time to split among their huge fan base. There’s also an issue where, as they get older, it gets more taxing to do particular scenes.”

Moxie’s AI solution enables creators to serve larger audiences while maintaining personal connections through personality-trained chatbots. 

The platform uses a custom-trained video model developed by an AI researcher formerly at Alibaba. The proprietary large language model creates content that allows creators to fulfill requests they might not personally perform while preserving their authentic personality traits.

Strategic partnerships

The platform’s partnership structure maintains human contact while expanding creative possibilities. 

Moxie partnered with model Tori Sweetie to curate AI-generated content and participate through live streaming. The goal is to ensure authentic personality representation while enabling content categories that they might not personally create.

Neonwight said:

“The one-to-one human connection is what sells right now. The AI chatbot is trained based on her personality, and she will stream on our platform to give fans another level of personality interaction.”

Martina Oliveira is a top creator on Privacy, Brazil’s leading adult content platform. She provided a perspective on AI’s impact on the adult content industry. 

When asked about AI-generated adult content potentially harming content creators’ revenue, Oliveira said: 

“I think it hurts real models because some content creators who didn’t record videos, claiming they recorded them just by being pretty, are already doing this. I believe that to get attention now, you have to have more originality, you have to talk, you have to expose yourself more because there are already AIs doing the basics, you have to do more than that.”

However, she noted AI-generated content currently has limitations in video quality, particularly for explicit content.

Furthermore, there is the possibility to partner with platforms that generate AI content, such as Moxie, to increase productivity and test new content.

Oliveira previously worked with a platform offering voice synthesis services where users paid per minute for AI-generated conversations. 

According to her:

“I would definitely close this type of partnership, especially if it generated images, I think that’s what was missing in what I did before.”

Regarding crypto integration with platforms like Privacy and OnlyFans, Oliveira acknowledged potential benefits but noted platform resistance to change. 

She believes crypto will be used on these sites over the years because it makes transactions safer. However, Oliveira concluded:

“But it might take a long time because platforms are kind of reluctant to spend on adding services to the site because they don’t know if it will work.”

Why it matters: A Kansas woman is suing several porn sites after her 14-year-old son found an old laptop and used it to browse adult content. The suits claim that the sites violated the state’s age-verification laws by allowing the minor access.

Kansas is one of the 20+ states that have current or upcoming laws requiring porn sites to verify users’ ages.

The Kansas law requires any site with over 25% of its content deemed “harmful to minors,” which covers nudity and sexual content, to verify the age of visitors using a commercially available database or another commercially reasonable method of age and identity verification.

As reported by 404 Media, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) and a Kansas law firm filed four lawsuits on behalf of a minor child, the child’s mother, and a friend of the family against Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Titan Websites, and Techpump Solutions, also known as Superporn.com.

According to a statement from NCOSE, the mother had been diligent in monitoring her 14-year-old son’s devices to prevent his exposure to harmful material during “this important developmental stage of his life.”

In August 2024, the boy found an old laptop belonging to a friend of his mother that had been stored and forgotten about in a closet. It was still in working order, and the son used it to access the internet and search for hardcore pornography.

The suits allege that the sites should have had age-verification measures in place to comply with a Kansas law implemented in July 2024, which allows individuals – including parents or guardians – to take legal action against commercial entities, such as websites, that permit access without verifying users’ ages.

Chaturbate has an age-verification mechanism, but it can be easily manipulated and that does not satisfy Kansas’ law, according to the suit. Its parent company, Multi Media LLC, called the suit “completely baseless,” something it told the plaintiff when the company was contacted last November.

The complaint claims that as a result of accessing the sites, the boy has suffered “pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and mental anguish; psychological injury; past and future loss of enjoyment and pleasure of living; and past and future expenses of necessary medical care and treatment.”

The NCOSE says these are the first lawsuits in the US that challenge alleged violators of age verification laws. The organization has previously helped with lawsuits against porn site Xvideos. It also aided with a case against Twitter over allegations it violated the federal sex trafficking statute.
