How We Built②

※I am interested in continuing this project after the hackathon.

Inspiration

1.After coming from Japan to Europe and Paris, I was very impressed by many artistic works and architecture and such history by artists.
2.Having heard that the creators of Patreon are really incurring a lot of fees to receive money from fans.

Platform Margin is Expensive (8%)
Payment processing fee (5% + $0.10 per transaction)
Payout fees (1% per 1 transaction)
Currency Conversion Fee (2.5% per 1 transaction)
Cash-out takes a long time.
No payments way for unbanked.

3.The knowledge of Ceramic and Orbis, a decentralized storage and social mechanism that does not belong to any other blockchain.

What it does

Creator can literally own contents.
Steady Revenue by low transaction fee and cost.

Innovation

It is the encryption of content submitted by creators. To do this, we use Orbis and Lit Protocol technologies; existing similar services such as Unlock.Protocol only lock content, not encrypt it. If it is not encrypted, it is more centralized.
Improved STEADY ECONOMY for creators through subscription NFT. Traditionally, using NFTs for membership was a "yes or no" proposition. A person who owned an NFT for a project had access to the benefits and community of that project for as long as he or she owned the NFT. From a creator's standpoint, this was OK, but not great: each NFT sold effectively gave the NFT holder "lifetime access." Web3Patreon innovates a membership NFT with an expiration date that takes into account the concept of time. Creators can issue NFTs that grant membership for any period of time.

Use Case Sustainability

The market is certain to continue to grow significantly in the future.
Even without the value of the token economy, Crypto Payment and smart contract alone have value to customers, so there is reason to continue using blockchain-based Web3 products.
It is a business model that is easy to monetize. We are very alining with our user very well.

How we built it（Technical）

Subscription NFT = Smart contract creation
The app consists in 2 smart contracts, one is an implementation of ERC1155 from Openzeppelin, with the Ownable library to manage permissions, the other is a simple ERC1155 factory, called "CreatorFactory" to deploy instances for each new registered creator, those instances keep track of patron subscriptions, expiry times, and tiers edition (tiers are not available in the frontend, but the contract has the feature)

Low transaction fees = Usage L2 Chains (Polygon Mumbai, Celo, Cronos, Gnosis)
Gated community to discuss with your best creators & connect with your followers = Orbis with Ceramic data network
Attestation of creator = Using Sismo tech

When a fan becomes a fan of a creator or decides to pay for a subscription, they are always concerned about the creator's track record. However, in the traditional world, creators could lie; in the Web3 world, it is easier to prove track record because data can be put on the on-chain, but the problem at this time was that creators had to expose their own Wallet Address. Sismo solved this problem by allowing creators to prove their achievements in the form of badges without exposing their wallet addresses.

Upload images format for creators = IPFS Tech

Notification system via email without privacy risk = Using Privy tech

Challenges we ran into

Implementation of a Token Gateway feature that will allow fans to view closed content from creators when they actually purchase NFTs with cryptopayments.
