Dan and Jessica met in 2020 and quickly bonded over their frustrations with how content platforms treated their creators. Driven by a shared passion of bringing innovative solutions to a traditionally underserved sector, MintStars is built on the principles of inclusivity and care for creators.

Through NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), they discovered a technology that enables creators to create and track a limited number of copies of each piece of content. This has a powerful effect on content, extending its lifecycle indefinitely.

Our model encourages fans to actively promote the work of creators. This shifts the responsibility from creators alone and creates a dynamic where fans have a vested interest in supporting and amplifying creators’ content. Additionally, this model provides a strong financial incentive against piracy. Since fans become part owners of the content, pirating it would diminish the value of an asset they own, thus discouraging piracy.
