Overview\nWatchit is a decentralized content distribution and monetization dApp built on Synapse, a blockchain-based protocol designed to empower creators by ensuring full ownership over intellectual property (IP) and direct monetization without intermediaries.  \nWatchit is developed by Velatrix, our DevCo, with the mission of reshaping digital content distribution through blockchain.  \nWith Watchit, creators retain full control over their IP, monetization strategies, and audience interactions, leveraging blockchain technology's scalability, security, and ecosystem to achieve high-speed, low-cost transactions for content licensing, micropayments, and decentralized governance.  \nUnlike traditional platforms (YouTube, Patreon), Watchit removes centralized control, ensuring:\n- Fair (i.e. creator-chosen) revenue models  \n- Decentralized audience access  \n- IP protection through smart contracts  \n- Decentralized content storage for censorship-resistant access  \n- On-chain revenue sharing, ensuring transparent creator earnings  \n- Blockchain-based frictionless transactions  \n\nThis grant will accelerate Watchit’s adoption, onboarding thousands of creators and millions of transactions onto the network.\n\n## 2. How we address the key challenges in content distribution with Watchit\nThe traditional content distribution industry is driven by centralized control, which is often used to take too much revenue from creators to the intermediaries, force creators to use rigid business models, or coexist with biased algorithms that decide what the trends are for the whole user base, favoring only a few.  \nWatchit solves these issues through:\n- Decentralized Content Hosting & Access: No reliance on centralized servers, censorship-resistant access.  \n- Flexible Monetization Models: Subscriptions, rentals, pay-per-view, community tipping, IP Liquidity, IP trade, are just some examples.  \n- Creator-Owned Revenue Streams: Payments are direct and non-extractive, with revenue managed transparently, and platform margins are minimized.  \n- IP Protection via Blockchain: Smart contract-enforced rights ensure fair content usage and monetisation.\n\n## 3. How Watchit Integrates with Synapse & Blockchain\nWatchit is not just another dApp, but part of a larger decentralized ecosystem built on blockchain technology, powered by Synapse, which is built to serve as backbone for the transformation we intend to drive in the media industry.  \nSynapse Protocol provides the underlying blockchain-powered content infrastructure, enabling secure access control, IP rights management, decentralized governance, and flexible monetization models.  \nThe blockchain layer provides low-cost, high-speed transactions for subscriptions, IP licensing, and creator payments. Blockchain interoperability enables multi-chain content licensing & royalties.  \nVelatrix is the development entity ensuring long-term innovation, security, and interoperability.  \nThis structure ensures Watchit delivers real utility to the blockchain ecosystem, making it a reference in the Web3 media industry.\n\n## 4. Unique Value Proposition: Why Watchit is Different\nUnlike other blockchain-based content projects, Watchit does not replicate Web2 models on-chain, improving existing Web3 content platforms. For that, it introduces:\n- Guardian Nodes for Content Access Control, ensuring only authorized users access content while maintaining decentralization. This blockchain-powered content validation method is key to ensure privacy, ownership control, and on-chain compliance in our ecosystem.  \n- Multidimensional Fee Model. Fees dynamically adjust based on content type, licensing terms, and usage. This approach maximizes creator profitability while ensuring affordable access.  \n- On-Chain Revenue Distribution. Creators define revenue-sharing terms enforced by smart contracts, eliminating high take-rates from centralized platforms.  \n- Integrated AI Tools. AI-driven content curation, hyper-personalized content recommendations for users, and predictive analytics to optimize creator earnings based on engagement patterns within the ecosystem.\n\n## 5. Contributions to Blockchain & Web3 Ecosystem\nWatchit aims at hosting millions of users interacting with the platform, which aligns with blockchain’s mission to enable scalable, efficient Web3 applications:\n\n**Contribution 1: Increased On-Chain Activity**.  \nDrives significant transaction volume across multiple use cases, increasing the activity and utility of the blockchain network.\n\n**Contribution 2: Scalable Monetization**.  \nEnables frictionless micropayments and efficient monetization of digital content through blockchain's low transaction costs, ensuring economically viable blockchain-based media.\n\n**Contribution 3: Enhanced Interoperability**.  \nConnects Web3 content models seamlessly to blockchain interoperability standards and decentralized storage solutions such as IPFS and Arweave, expanding cross-chain possibilities.\n\n**Contribution 4: IP-Centric Digital Asset Ecosystem**.  \nEstablishes a robust environment for digital IP asset management, licensing, and revenue sharing powered by smart contracts, facilitating IP liquidity and efficient monetization strategies for creators.\n\n## 6. Roadmap & Milestones\nTo ensure transparency and strategic execution, our roadmap aligns with blockchain ecosystem growth:\n- **MVP Launch (Q2-Q3 2025)**: Testnet deployment, core tool functionalities (content registration, licensing attestation, marketing campaigns for creators, financial analytics, contract attestation), early creator onboarding and first content publication, marketing campaigns for sustained community growth.  \n- **Mainnet Deployment (Q4 2025)**: Mainnet launch, Fully decentralized access control, IP liquidity and monetization. Guardian Nodes deployed for decentralized access control.  \n- **Scalability & Interoperability (Q1 2026)**: Multi-chain expansion, cross-chain content distribution. Establish partnerships with Web3-native media tools for content creation, events.  \n- **Community & Governance (Q2 2026)**: DAO-driven decision-making, staking, rewards system, creator-led funding pools for content production.\n\n## 7. Funding Request & Use of Grant\nThe blockchain grant will be strategically utilized to scale Watchit efficiently. The funds will directly contribute to blockchain growth by expanding dApp adoption and driving on-chain transactions.\n- Smart Contract Development & Security Audits: 30% of the budget.  \n- Guardian Node Deployment & Decentralized Storage Integration: 25% of the budget.  \n- User Acquisition & Community Growth: 20% of the budget.  \n- MVP & dApp UX/UI Enhancements: 15% of the budget.  \n- Operational & Infrastructure Costs: 10% of the budget.\n\n## 8. Measuring Impact\nWatchit’s success will be measured through tangible growth metrics aligned with blockchain’s objectives:\n- **User Growth**: Target: 500K+ active users within 24 months.  \n- **Transaction Volume**: Target: Over 5M content-based transactions annually.  \n- **Creator Monetization Success**: $50M+ in creator earnings within 3 years.  \n- **IP Licensing Expansion**: Enabling 100K+ IP licenses.\n\n## 9. Conclusion: A Long-Term Web3 Content Solution\nWatchit is not just a content platform—it’s the future of decentralized media monetization. By integrating Synapse’s blockchain infrastructure, we enable a creator-first digital economy that benefits both Web3 users and the blockchain ecosystem.  \nWith your support, Watchit will drive adoption, transactions, and value creation within blockchain, establishing a new paradigm for content distribution in the decentralized era.\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "WatchItDev", "projectTwitter": "watchit_app"}
