Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun is riding a wave of renewed adoption, with its native PUMP token climbing to an all-time high.

According to CryptoSlate’s data, PUMP surged to $0.0086 on Sept. 14, setting a fresh peak before retreating by nearly 3% to trade around $0.008 at press time.

The latest move represents a sharp reversal for the asset, which had struggled for traction since its July debut and appeared to be losing ground to rival projects.

However, Pump.fun has shifted momentum, leveraging product upgrades to regain market attention.

Streaming growth

A key driver of this rebound has been the relaunch of Pump.fun’s livestreaming feature. The platform, once criticized for unsafe broadcasts including instances of self-harm, paused the function last year.

However, its reintroduction has triggered a surge in user activity, with livestreaming now contributing directly to engagement and platform revenue.

Alon Cohen, Pump.fun’s co-founder, said the platform has already overtaken Rumble in average concurrent streams. He added that Pump.fun now controls roughly 1% of Twitch’s market share and 10% of Kick’s.

Alon also signaled that the project no longer limits itself to crypto-native audiences but instead seeks a foothold in mainstream content streaming. He also outlined the several opportunities that streaming on the platform could provide users, by saying:

“When you stream on pump fun you get INSTANT Creator Fees (100x+ of what you earn elsewhere). INSTANT viewership with a community that’s incentivized to support you. Free clipping on X (other socials soon). And 24/7 support from the team.”

Despite ongoing criticism of its approach, Alon has brushed aside concerns, arguing that new entrants inevitably face scrutiny and that competitors will continue to emerge.

He stated:

“first they said that memecoin activity would never sustain then they said that no one would ever stream on pump fun now they’re saying that pump fun streaming is not sustainable I wonder what they’ll come up with next.”

Creator earnings rise

The renewed activity has translated into direct gains for creators on the Solana memecoin launchpad.

Data from Dune Analytics showed that creator earnings on Pump.fun soared to $20 million in the last seven days, which is a record weekly payout for the platform.

The data shows that the top 25 creators earned between $24,100 and $123,000 in the past 24 hours alone.

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.”

Hands up if you’ve heard of Luckycoin.

If it sounds familiar, you’re either an industry OG since the days of the Silk Road and Satoshi Dice, or a shiny new-wave crypto-curious with a penchant for collectors’ coins.

Why? Because Luckycoin dates all the way back to 2013, a veritable lifetime in the history of crypto, when Bitcoin was fun and the conversations took place on forums rather than shiny conference halls.

Think more Bitcoin scaling, BTC bubbles, nefarious actors, and software bugs; less Bitcoin ETFs, treasuries, presidential pumps, and strategic reserves.

But back to Lucky.

As a fork of Litecoin, one of the original altcoins in Bitcoin’s wake, Luckycoin was the 22nd coin created and listed on CoinMarketCap.

If you look at its price history today, it resembles a stalagmite. Even if it weren’t for Luckycoin’s anonymous creator and random winning tokenomics, this chart alone tells a story, and not the usual one you’ve come to expect.

So, take my hand and let me guide you through the twists and turns of Luckycoin’s journey. It’s a tale fraught with epic highs, crushing lows, and a decade-long slumber to rival Sleeping Beauty’s, and see the Bitcoin lineage memecoin emerge like a “phoenix from the ashes” to claim its rightful place as a revived piece of crypto history.

Let’s begin.

From anonymous beginnings to the Doge-father

Luckycoin was cut from the same cloth as Bitcoin, created by an anonymous developer known as “LuckyC.” Just as Satoshi Nakamoto did with Bitcoin, LuckyC embedded the financial headline of the day in its genesis block.

But Luckycoin was never intended to disrupt the corrosive financial system; it was an experiment meant to be “fun, fast, and fair.” Head of partnerships and BD in the Luckycoin community, Dan, explains:

“Fast, because of its quick epochs and speed, fair in the sense that no VCs were backing the coin, similar to Bitcoin. It’s completely decentralized, so it gave everyone the opportunity to buy at whatever price it was.

The fun aspect is that every block mined has an opportunity to earn 2x, 5x, or 58x the normal block rewards. This adds to the unpredictability associated with Lucky, and that’s where that meme aspect comes in.”

Luckycoin introduced the concept of LuckyBlocks, with additional random rewards at a 5%, 1%, and 0.01% probability, respectively. As a coin that’s now merge-mined along with Litecoin, Dogecoin, and other Scrypt coins, miners can simultaneously earn LKY at no extra cost when mining any of these other coins. Dan enthuses:

“We’re merge-mined as part of the Binance merge mining pool, which increases the hash rate of the blockchain, which then shores up the blockchain and makes it more secure.”

As an OG Proof-of-Work coin, Lucky’s a direct descendant of Bitcoin and the chain from which Dogecoin was forked. Dan says:

“So it goes Bitcoin, then forked to Litecoin, which then forked to Lucky. Luckycoin itself was then forked to create Dogecoin, so it’s actually the father of Dogecoin.”

Who’s your daddy?

Those deep in the weeds of Dogecoin’s story may recall hearing about Billy Markus’ quest to create a joke crypto that would capture the imagination of its community.

He spent “a couple of hours” forking Luckycoin, changing its fonts, tokenomics, branding, and turning it into the chain every member of the Department of Government Efficiency has come to know and love.

Early versions of the Dogecoin wallet still contained references to Luckycoin, with a warning left over from the fork in Dogecoin’s client that said, “You will LOSE ALL OF YOUR LUCKYCOINS!” if you forget your passphrase.

Sadly, like many ungrateful offspring before it, Dogecoin’s success came to the detriment of Luckycoin. The Shiba Inu-themed memecoin went viral in 2014, becoming one of the most traded cryptos around and leaving Luckycoin in the dust.

All traces of LuckyC vanished, and there were no new updates onchain. Interest dwindled, and developers, miners, and Lucky enthusiasts dropped off a cliff, sending the chain into a 10-year dormancy.

The last block mined in the original run was block #81,743 on November 25, 2013. Luckycoin became a mere footnote in crypto history.

Luckycoin: gone but not forgotten

Between 2014 and 2024, no new blocks were mined. Luckycoin remained in a comatose state, its fate seemingly sealed among the echelons of failed cryptos, known only to a few as the forebear of Elon’s pet chain.

Yet, just like the ring of power, Luckycoin’s code base lay patiently in wait to be found years later by a new owner.

In August 2024, at the height of the meme coin craze, a group of unsuspecting developers came across an old backup of the Luckycoin blockchain from 2013. Destiny was ready to be rewritten.

Luckycoin was revived by a community takeover team (CTO). Instead of creating a new coin from scratch, the team elected to continue on the original chain, picking up where LuckyC left off and producing block #81,744 on August 25, 2024, to preserve the original genesis block and all historical transactions.

One of the first restorative tweaks the CTO team made was to adjust the Luckycoin code to run on modern systems by adding Auxiliary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW) support. This enabled merge mining along with Dogecoin, Litecoin, and other Scrypt coins. Dan says:

“With merge mining, as long as Litecoin and Dogecoin are going to be around, then we’ll be around because I don’t see either of those two going out of business any time soon.”

Scarcer than a snowball in the Sahara

One of the most appealing aspects of Luckycoin is the scarcity of its supply: of the 20 million or so coins that will ever be mined, at least 15% have been lost forever, with a further 11% permanently out of circulation. Dan explains:

“It is one of the most scarce coins out there. Roughly 20 million lucky coins will be created. We say roughly because of that unpredictability with the LKY mining, the 2x, 5x, and 58x I mentioned, so you can’t ever get 20 million coins created. You probably get 20,000,100.”

Of the capped supply, more than 3.1 million LKY lie in dormant wallets, likely lost, and over 2.2 million are blacklisted and unable to be used. Dan clarifies:

“There’s a whole bunch of large coin holders that can never access them because they were sitting on exchanges that went out of business and went bust. Back in the day, you couldn’t store your coins on a Ledger or a Trezor, and they were pretty much sitting on exchanges that went down the drain. We have the list of the dormant cold wallets that have been untouched, and we’re tracking them. None of them has actually popped up.”

LKY to the moon… and back

By late 2024, major mining pools like Binance and ViaBTC were merge-mining LKY, boosting the network’s security and power, and sending the hash rate from ~5 TH/s to over 50 TH/s within a week of the revival. The new team also implemented a faster halving schedule (every 100k blocks) to accelerate the distribution of the remaining supply.

With the wind at its back, the sky was the limit for the plucky little chain that could. Lucky blocks, a scarce supply, and merge-mined along with one of the industry’s most popular memecoins, a frenzy for LKY ensued.

It wasn’t only nostalgic miners and developers who returned. Luckycoin appealed to the next generation of crypto adopters who bought into its wild price action and historic lore. Luckycoin was a rare gem in a sea of pump.fun shills.

Drunk on its captivating story, LKY supporters continued to emerge and listings on exchanges like MEXC and Gate followed. Crypto influencers and KOLs like TheCryptoDog and Miles Deutscher began jumping on the bandwagon as well, dedicating a YouTube video to his Luckycoin thesis, wide-eyed, with the opening words:

“Oh boy, I think I’ve just found something absolutely huge.”

The boatload of momentum surrounding Lucky sent its price ripping into the stratosphere, from ~30 cents a coin all the way to an eyewatering all-time high of $16.83 on November 25, 2024.

It was all yacht parties, dancing girls, and champagne… until Lucky’s past came back to haunt it, and the price came crashing down like a piano from a tenth-floor window.

What goes up must come down

Over the 2024 Christmas and New Year’s holiday period, Luckycoin suffered a Replay Attack, and a vulnerability in its code was exploited by an unscrupulous villain, who was able to replay old transactions from the legacy chain and drain dormant wallets.

2,679,390.79 LKY were moved during the attack, involving 1,307 distinct input addresses (previously dormant) and 580 distinct output addresses, not just taking the wind out of Luckycoin’s sails, but stirring an almighty hurricane blasting it all the way back from whence it came. LKY lost ~95% of its value within a couple of weeks. Dan remarks:

“There was an old chain that was running concurrently, and they recalled a whole bunch of LKY to set a whole cascade of sell orders, so there was a flooding of LKY onto the market.”

The addresses in the replay attack were blacklisted, and the core vulnerability was fully patched at the cryptographic level, making legacy transactions invalid on the new chain, with “zero percent chance of it happening again.” Yet, the fallout was severe: LKY today trades at under 30 cents a coin.

While Lucky’s second demise was not malevolently executed in the pump-and-dump fashion of your average memecoin scam, a cursory glance at that price chart does little to instill faith in your average buyer. Dan laments:

“There was a massive price retrace, with people thinking that it was a scam, which it wasn’t because it’s completely decentralized.”

Third time’s a charm for Luckycoin?

Dan speaks about the strength of the community and how its CTO team members (the ones who didn’t flee) rallied around the OG memecoin and set about making amends.

“We’re a group of members that have come together who see the same vision in terms of restoring Lucky to its glory. Some of the old CTOs stepped down because of reputational damage, and a new CTO came on board.

It happened organically, and it happened during the mess of the replay attack. Out of that was a phoenix rising, where we all came together, with the same vision and mission.”

Since its painful retracement, the new CTO has worked tirelessly to bring Lucky back to life for a third time, patching the code, restoring trust, and building key partnerships and community.

Luckycoin recently joined forces with one of the longest-standing crypto wallets in the industry, Coinomi, enabling LKY holders to store their coins safely, non-custodially, and offchain. Dan regails:

“Coinomi was running a competition where they would partner with the largest engaging community, so that just goes to show you the community we have.”

Beyond its partnerships with MEXC and Gate, an initiative with Scrypt Wallet to bridge LKY to the Solana ecosystem is now in its final stages. Dan enthuses:

“A Lucky to Solana bridge will be great because it opens up LKY to all of the Solana people.”

The team is also looking to implement a hard wallet integration and is in the early stages of partnerships with Trezor, with plans to extend support to Ledger.

They are also busily working on a “marketing push” to raise the LKY price to a dollar and produce enough volume to be listed by a larger exchange, such as Binance or OKX. Dan shares:

“We need to grow the community first and use the current exchanges that we have to go to the bigger players.”

Will the coin’s scarcity, Bitcoin lineage, Lucky Blocks, and great lore be enough to see Luckycoin shine for a third time? Dan certainly thinks so:

“It’s a long-term cycle coin, and it has such a unique place in crypto history that we’re trying to maintain.”

Projects tied to Pepe meme creator Matt Furie and the NFT studio ChainSaw lost roughly $1 million to contract takeover exploits last week, according to on-chain investigator ZachXBT.

On June 27, ZachXBT reported transaction records showing that the attacker seized control of the “Replicandy” contract at 4:25 a.m. UTC on June 18 by transferring ownership to the externally owned address 0x9Fca. 

Two hours later, the new owner withdrew mint proceeds and, at 5:11 a.m. the next day, reopened the mint, issued fresh NFTs, and dumped them into open bids, pushing the floor price to zero.

On June 23, the same address took over three additional ChainSaw contracts: Peplicator, Hedz, and Zogz. The bad actor then repeated the mint-and-dump cycle. 

ZachXBT estimated the combined theft at more than $310,000 and linked the funds to three collector addresses: 0xf6a9, 0x7e58, and 0x58f4. He traced a 2.05 ETH payment from 0x9Fca to an exchange deposit that converted to 5,007.91 USDT and was then moved to MEXC. 

He subsequently mapped many smaller monthly deposits from unrelated projects into the same exchange wallet.

Two GitHub accounts, “devmad119” and “sujitb2114,” list wallets that intersect the stolen fund trail. 

Both accounts share indicators that ZachXBT associated with North Korean IT workers, including Korean language system settings, Astral VPN sessions, and Asia-Russia time zones, despite résumés that claim US residency.

Favrr exploit follows the same payroll path

A second incident surfaced on June 25, when the freelance services token project Favrr lost more than $680,000 following its listing on a DEX. On-chain analysis linked the exploit to the consolidation wallet 0x477, which received recurring payments from Favrr payroll addresses 0x1708 and 0x6412. 

Gate.io deposit address 0xab7 received part of the stolen Favrr tokens, and was previously funded by the suspected developer behind “sujitb2114”.

Favrr announced that it would refund all initial decentralized offering participants, cancel its MEXC listing, and initiate a thorough audit of its codebase. The project added that it will publish a new launch timeline “in the coming weeks” and advised users to avoid trading impostor tokens in the interim.

ZachXBT reported that Favrr’s chief technology officer, listed as Alex Hong, deleted his LinkedIn profile after the exploit. Attempts to verify his work history with previous employers were unsuccessful.

The investigator plans to release aggregate data on payroll flows to wallets tied to the same North Korean cluster, contending that basic due diligence checks would have flagged the hires.

The stolen funds from the ChainSaw collections remain idle, while most Favrr proceeds have already passed through Gate.io and several nested services. 

ZachXBT said he has not reached the teams because their direct message channels are closed, and official Telegram or Discord rooms do not provide contact options.

The incidents bring renewed attention to the risks of “shadow hiring” in crypto projects that outsource development through gig-work platforms. 

Investigators continue to follow the on-chain trails, and affected communities await formal statements from Furie, ChainSaw, and Favrr.

A decentralized platform, Lukso offers an alternative to creators depending on centralized platforms such as Google, Meta, and Spotify.

The company recently appointed Cell as new CEO and is committed to shifting the power dynamics of current centralized systems through the LUKSO Standard Proposal (LSP) smart contract system, which gives Creaters complete control over their identity and content.

The platform promotes the universal identity of creators and AI that are resistant to censorship, completely chained, easily exposed, and allows creator content to be accessible and interactive to everyone, including apps and protocols.

Big movements with luxo.
Former CEO of Coinbase Germany, @JanosellI just participated @universal_every As a COO that will help make Web3 mainstream.
With universal profiles, creator-owned content and AI-driven identity, Lukso is more than just a blockchain. pic.twitter.com/2l68ihvczc

– ninjafromqueens.base.eth (@ninjafromqueens) May 15, 2025

Shadow, which prohibits profiles and content that are prevalent in centralized systems, is part of a space where content is not permitted to share, as published thanks to the platform’s LSP smart contracts.

As a result, creators can experiment with content without fear of exhaustion.

Lukso Universal Profile – Progress for AI Transparency and Web3 Adoption

Web3 platforms (transparency, ownership, user agents, etc.) have many advantages, but so far they have been rarely popular in the creator community due to usability factors such as unfamiliar tools, confused interfaces, and security concerns.

Cell said, “It’s not the tools or Dapps that carry Web3 on your back, but the lack of foundations, pure private key account systems, and a proper standardized smart contract-based account system.”

According to the sale, Lukso’s Universal Profile addresses these issues by integrating the identity of a smart, recoverable, user-friendly blockchain into the blockchain through LSP smart contracts.

Furthermore, as AI continues to evolve, universal profiles become increasingly important. With growing concerns about authors, attribution and accountability, AI agents can establish a verifiable on-chain presence through Lukso’s universal profile, ensuring transparency and trust.

Additionally, universal profiles are modular and programmable, allowing developers and creators to manage AI profiles through Lukso’s LSP6 Key Manager Standard, enabling secure, collaborative governance for AI agents.

Like human creators, AI agents can develop their own reputation, gain follow-up, and evolve socially, due to their universal profile.

A distributed system can match intensive convenience with appropriate criteria

“Distributed systems often face hurdles of scalability, speed and user experience,” explains the sales, relying on centralized systems.

However, by having the right standards and leveraging universal profiles, Web3 offers smart, recoverable, scalable accounts, providing a better user experience when compared to Web2.

A key advantage of Web3 is its complexity. Unlike the siloed approach of the Web 2 platform, Lukso’s ecosystem allows users to embed protocols directly into profiles.

Therefore, mini apps can serve multiple purposes. For example, an artist’s profile could be a ticket store or a project’s profile could be a launch pad. This level of modularity does not exist in Web2, so the possibilities are endless.

With the right standards, a decentralized Web3 platform can outweigh the intensive convenience by increasing flexibility, ownership and creative potential.

The post, the former Coinbase German CEO joins Lukso, aims to break Big Tech’s grip against Creator Autonomy, which first appeared in 99bitcoins.

Since launching its token presale last month, SUBBD has raised nearly $400,000 in early investor funding. That momentum stems from solving the very issues that have pushed creators to look beyond Web2: burnout, fragmented monetization, and limited fan engagement.

Powered by AI and crypto, SUBBD isn’t just automating the grind – it’s giving creators a streamlined, on-chain way to earn, scale, and fully own their audience.

By merging two of the most disruptive technologies into one cohesive platform, SUBBD positions itself as more than a play on crypto or AI – it’s a bet on the future of the $85 billion creator economy.

Early adopters can still lock in the current presale price of $0.0554 – but with just two days left before the next price hike, the window is closing fast.

Stokely’s ‘Subs’ Brings the Same Old Model – SUBBD Delivers a Creator-Led Revolution

Stokely is launching a new creator platform called Subs – a web-based service for both adult and non-adult content creators.

According to Stokely, the goal is to help creators grow their audiences and convert casual viewers into paying subscribers. Subs is expected to feature an Instagram-style “explore” feed and a YouTube-like “shows” section – both ad-free and designed to drive users toward subscriptions, private messages, and one-on-one video calls.

Stokely, best known as the founder of OnlyFans, sold 75% of the company in 2018 to Fenix International, owned by Leonid Radvinsky. The sale reportedly earned him a substantial return as the platform went on to generate billions.

But while Subs slaps on a fresh UI, it ultimately mirrors the same Web2 structure – including the 20% platform fee. Creators still lose a hefty cut of their earnings and often end up paying additional fees to managers handling planning, posting, and fan engagement.

SUBBD, by contrast, reimagines the entire model. Rather than tweak the formula, it embraces a fully Web3 approach – one built around ownership, automation, and creator freedom.

With AI-powered infrastructure and crypto-native monetization, SUBBD shifts the balance of power from platform to creator. It’s not just a new app – it’s a new system designed for a new era.

SUBBD Automates the Grind – So Creators Can Focus on What Actually Matters

OnlyFans may work for top-tier earners, but for most creators, it’s a constant grind. Visibility requires volume – and that means nonstop editing, livestreaming, answering DMs, writing captions, and optimizing content around the clock.

And with Subs? It’s largely a repackaged version of the same system, aside from the addition of one-on-one video calls. The pressure to produce, promote, and stay relevant remains unchanged.

SUBBD flips that script. Instead of creators working for the platform, the platform works for them. Its AI handles the repetitive backend, giving users back their time, focus, and creative flow.

From auto-messaging to smart scheduling and audience filters, SUBBD eliminates the daily hustle of managing fans manually.

And when it comes to discoverability, SUBBD isn’t powered by engagement algorithms that favor top performers. While Subs offers an “explore” feed and “shows” section, it still relies on centralized curation.

SUBBD takes a smarter approach. AI models like Florence-2 and Tag2Text automatically generate rich, context-aware tags and descriptions. Fans can filter content by mood, setting, or style – whether it’s a “sunset rooftop session” or a “low-light indoor shoot.” No manual tagging required.

Instead of disappearing in a feed, content on SUBBD is searchable, personalized, and matched to fan intent, not just virality.

SUBBD also integrates OpenAI’s Whisper to transcribe voice memos, audio drops, and roleplays. These transcripts can be auto-tagged, summarized, or repurposed, letting creators maximize their spoken content without doing extra work.

The $SUBBD Token Powers a Fully Tokenized Creator Economy

At the core of SUBBD’s Web3 model is the $SUBBD token, which redefines how creators get paid and how fans support them.

No more waiting for payout cycles. With $SUBBD, tipping is direct, instant, and trustless – fans can support creators in real time, and creators receive the full amount immediately.

And that “innovative” one-on-one call feature on Subs? SUBBD already includes video calls and livestreams, with real-time tipping baked in.

The $SUBBD token also unlocks access to pay-per-view content, exclusive drops, and creator subscriptions, creating a fully tokenized monetization loop.

But the bigger shift is ownership. As former OnlyFans CEO Amrapali Gan once said, “Creators are entrepreneurs.” SUBBD takes that seriously, offering not just a platform, but a crypto-native business model creators can control.

Yes, SUBBD charges a flat 20% fee – but unlike traditional platforms, that cut covers the entire ecosystem: infrastructure, AI tools, maintenance, and R&D. No additional fees, no platform-imposed limitations, and no need for third-party managers.

Compared to the 50–70% cut creators often give up on Web2 platforms and agency deals, it’s a different game entirely.

Earn 20% APY and Help Build the AI-Powered Future of Web3 Creators With SUBBD

Whether you’re a content creator or a fan, there’s real utility behind the $SUBBD token. And if you’re an investor, every $SUBBD you hold gives you exposure to the evolution of the creator economy – one that’s being rebuilt with AI and crypto at its core.

The $85 billion creator economy is overdue for a shift toward Web3 and intelligent automation – and $SUBBD is positioned right at that intersection. For those getting in early, the upside could be massive.

The way we manage intellectual property hasn’t changed much in decades—and creators have paid the price. Murky licensing, unclear rights, and lost royalties have long been the norm. However, Web3 and smart contracts are rewriting the rules. Story Protocol offers a new model: a blockchain-native system where IP is transparent, traceable, and remixable by design—and where your creative work is protected, programmable, and profitable from day one.

Key Takeaways

• Story Protocol allows rights and licensing terms to be embedded directly into blockchain-based assets, eliminating the need for manual rights management.

• ERC-6551 token-bound accounts give each IP asset its own dynamic smart account capable of enforcing rules and executing transactions.

• An open IP repository records the full lifecycle of creative works, from creation and remixing to monetization.

• Smart contracts automate licensing and royalty splits, reducing legal friction and eliminating intermediaries.

• Story Protocol’s mainnet launched in February 2025, following strong adoption during its testnet phase and over $134 million in venture backing from firms like a16z and Hashed.

What is Story Protocol?

Story Protocol is a purpose-built blockchain network developed by Seung Yoon Lee, Jason Zhao, and Jason Levy in 2022 to transform how intellectual property is handled in the digital age. It addresses licensing, rights disputes, and opaque royalty flows inefficiencies by introducing a programmable, decentralized IP layer.

At its core, Story Protocol turns any creative asset—text, video, music, code, or even AI models—into a composable and traceable on-chain entity. Ownership, usage permissions, and revenue sharing are all enforced via smart contracts.

Source Story Protocol

Key Features

Story Protocol includes several foundational components that work together to support decentralized, flexible, and automated IP management.

Smart Licensing Automation

Instead of relying on legal paperwork, creators define usage rules through embedded smart contracts—this streamlines licensing, monetization, and collaborative reuse—especially for derivative or community-generated content.

ERC-6551 Token-Bound Accounts

Each IP asset is minted as an NFT tied to a token-bound smart account. These ERC-6551 accounts—an Ethereum standard—enable assets to own other tokens, execute logic, and interact with decentralized applications.

Open IP Repository

Much like Git tracks software changes, Story Protocol logs every contribution to an IP asset—enhancing provenance and attribution. Users can track the full lifecycle of works, from creation to monetized remixing.

Modular Architecture

With modular plug-ins for licensing, remixing, or royalty enforcement, creators can customize their IP stack without relying on centralized gatekeepers.

Story Protocol’s Programmable IP License (PIL) bridges blockchain rules with real-world enforceability, giving creators and enterprises legal certainty in both digital and traditional jurisdictions.

Benefits for Creators, Developers, and Enterprises

• Creators can publish work, define licensing, and earn automatic royalties on derivative creations.

• Developers can build apps that tap into the IP registry for storytelling tools, NFT games, or generative AI.

• Enterprises gain access to legally licensed, verifiable IP data for training models or launching branded content, using a decentralized IP system that integrates digital rights management with smart contracts.

Use Cases in Action

• Artists register characters or settings and allow spin-offs, while preserving credit and earnings.

• AI developers can train models on IP-safe datasets, avoiding copyright violations.

• Gaming platforms can track layered contributions and reward UGC creators dynamically.

During its testnet phase, Story Protocol recorded approximately 5 million daily transactions and gathered over 19 million active wallets. Since its February 2025 mainnet launch, its native IP token ($IP) has been listed on major exchanges and is used for governance, transaction fees, and creator rewards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Story Protocol differ from traditional IP systems?

Traditional IP systems require centralized oversight and legal contracts. Story Protocol automates licensing, enforcement, and attribution using smart contracts.

Can I remix or build on someone else’s work?

Yes—if the original creator allows it. Remix permissions and royalty splits are encoded on-chain, ensuring contributors are credited and compensated.

Is it legally binding?

Yes. Through the PIL framework, on-chain licensing terms are linked to real-world legal standards, ensuring enforceability across jurisdictions.

What types of assets can be registered?

Story Protocol supports text, video, music, images, software, and AI models—any form of digital content.
