MEXC Research: Market Analysis of the NFT Content Incubation Platform, StartFi (STFI)
1. Project Introduction
StartFi is a multi-channel network platform for NFT creators that help content creators raise funds for their digital content. Creators can mint NFT through the StartFi network, create unique digital assets, empower communities and share rewards.
StartFi supports NFT creators in raising funds, voting for designs, promoting artists, holding or attending fan gatherings, and engaging in other creative activities. In exchange, fans will receive rewards and exclusive digital assets.
StartFi’s product logic functions include: the initial NFT products, digital rights management, capitalization, audience matching, cross-promotion, partner management, reward distribution, fan asset distribution, author royalties, etc.
Content creators will be able to raise funds for their upcoming projects, such as music albums, entertainment videos, digital art, documentaries, game collections, which require some funds to start the creative process.
In exchange, fans will be able to use NFTs to raise funds for these projects to earn money, resell them as unique products, and publish and republish the content through copyright management.
For example, a famous book author wants to raise funds for his new book. The NFT buyer will become the copyright owner. He will be able to redistribute, print, and sell on Amazon and other book platforms. This is a new way to invest in digital content at an early stage.
StartFi’s product logic in creating a fan economy is somewhat similar to Chiliz. However, how to attract excellent content creators and good collaborators is a test for StartFi otherwise, it might be just a publicity stunt.
