Why It Matters
- 01The Web2 creator economy extracted the majority of value at the platform layer. Onchain primitives reroute that value to creators and communities.
- 02Subscription tokens, ownership certificates, and direct revenue sharing are demonstrating early product-market fit across music, writing, and art.
- 03Creator tools built onchain have lower switching costs than platform-native tools, creating structural advantages for early infrastructure builders.
- 04The next wave of creators will grow up native to onchain monetization — making today's experimental tools tomorrow's standard.
