Creaton emerged in 2021 as a decentralized content-sharing platform, founded by Sascha Epp and Alexander Klus. Positioned as a Web3 alternative to established creator platforms like Patreon and OnlyFans, the company aims to forge a more direct and transparent relationship between content creators and their audiences. The platform is built on a foundation of technologies including Ethereum, IPFS, and Superfluid, designed to eliminate intermediaries and resist censorship.
The core of Creaton's business model is to empower creators by enabling them to monetize their content through subscription-based models paid in real-time with stablecoins. This approach seeks to provide artists and influencers with a continuous income stream, free from the rules and fees imposed by centralized services. A key feature is the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to establish content ownership, with permanent storage solutions intended to keep content available indefinitely. The platform utilizes peer-to-peer encryption to ensure that content is delivered exclusively to paying subscribers.
After a beta testing period, Creaton officially launched in November 2021. The company secured early-stage funding to accelerate its development, raising $1.1 million in October 2021 and attracting further strategic investments from firms like NuCypher, ZBS Capital, and ExNetwork in subsequent months. These funds were earmarked for expanding the team and covering operational costs for the new Polygon-based platform. The project also planned to introduce a native token, $CREATE, to power the platform's economy and anchor a future Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). However, by early 2025, some industry data platforms listed the company as out of business.
