DecryptPay is a decentralized application (dApp) that empowers digital creators by building a direct, trustless, and censorship-resistant bridge to their audience. We leverage the Filecoin Onchain Cloud stack—specifically Synapse SDK for permanent, verifiable storage and Filecoin Pay for seamless, low-fee payments—to create a marketplace where creators keep 100% of their earnings and buyers are guaranteed access to the content they purchase. DecryptPay eliminates intermediaries, reduces fees to near-zero, and ensures content permanence.
The current model for selling digital content (ebooks, courses, software, music, art) is fundamentally broken, favoring large platforms at the expense of creators and consumers.
| Problem Area | Impact on Creators | Impact on Buyers |
|---|---|---|
| Exorbitant Fees (10-30%) | Significant loss of revenue, making small-scale sales unsustainable. | Often leads to higher prices to offset platform cuts. |
| Censorship & Deplatforming | Content and income can be removed overnight based on opaque platform policies. | Loss of access to content and communities they paid for. |
| Delayed Payouts & Lock-in | Cash flow issues; difficult to migrate to other platforms without losing audience. | N/A |
| Single Point of Failure | If the platform goes down, their storefront and income disappear. | Purchased content can become inaccessible. |
| Lack of Transparency | No verifiable proof that files are stored securely and redundantly. | No guarantee that the content will be available long-term. |
