The Platform Tax
Creators lose billions every year to platform fees. Here's what they take.
Takes 20% of everything you earn
Keeps 40-50% through token markups
Retains 73% of gross revenue
Veil: Creators keep 85%. Broadcasters keep 55%. Infrastructure operators earn the rest. No middleman.
Architecture
A Protocol, Not a Platform
Wallet = Identity
No emails. No passwords. Your cryptographic wallet IS your account. Ed25519 keypair generated on your device, never leaves it.
End-to-End Encrypted
Every stream frame, every message, every profile field — encrypted with ChaCha20Poly1305 before it leaves your device. Relay nodes see only ciphertext.
Peer-to-Peer Everything
Streams relay through viewers, not servers. Content distributes across nodes. Dating profiles use blind search tokens. Zero centralized infrastructure costs.
Capabilities
Built for Creators, Not Corporations
Sub-Second Live Streaming
WebRTC with SFrame end-to-end encryption. Your stream is encrypted at the source — relay nodes forward opaque bytes. One-to-one private shows cost zero in server fees. Public broadcasts scale through a P2P mesh relay tree where viewers redistribute to other viewers.
Encrypted Content Distribution
Upload once, distribute everywhere. Content is encrypted with per-file keys, stored across the network using content-addressed BLAKE3 hashes on iroh distributed storage. Buyers receive decryption keys on-chain upon payment.
Dating Without Surveillance
Two-tier privacy architecture. Discovery tier: your PII is encrypted, searches use blind SHA-256 tokens — nobody sees your data. When you match, ECDH key exchange shares your full profile only with explicit consent.
Your Network, Your Rules
Earn reputation by contributing: relay bandwidth, storage, uptime, moderation. High-reputation members vote on community standards. Four citizenship tiers from Newcomer to Ambassador.
Revenue
Fair Economics by Design
Content Sales
85%
Goes directly to the creator
15% distributed to storage nodes and the platform — proportional to contribution
Live Broadcasting
55%
Goes directly to the broadcaster
45% distributed to relay nodes, storage nodes, and uptime contributors
Every node that relays a stream, stores content, or simply stays online earns revenue proportional to its measurable contribution. Infrastructure costs are distributed across participants who are compensated for their work.
| Cost | Traditional Platform | Veil |
|---|---|---|
| Payment Processing | 10-15% | < 1% |
| CDN / Streaming | 5-15% | Near-zero |
| Content Storage | 3-8% | Near-zero |
| Total Operating | 24-48% | 2-5% |
