Secret Admirers

Project Description

Secret Admirers is a decentralized adult content platform on Secret. The exponential rise of user-generated content in Web2 -- including, but not limited to OnlyFans, has continued to highlight loopholes in privacy for both audiences and the original creators. Web2 fundamentals exploit user data, where it is bought, sold, exchanged, or worse -- stolen. Secret Network, the first blockchain with customizable privacy, encrypts private metadata end to end. On Secret Admirers, users get to choose what they share, who they share it with, and how long they share information for. Sensitive adult content should ensure this by default -- and this is now possible on Web3 on Secret. Truly peer-to-peer, not even the nodes operating on Secret can access the information being decrypted and processed on Secret Admirers.

Problem / Solution

User-generated content websites like OnlyFans have a massive privacy bottleneck. Subscription spend and engagement with the OnlyFans Web2 platform is not private. Lack of trust and transparency discourages hundreds of thousands of potential users due to privacy concerns and lack of anonymity. This opens the opportunity to develop a decentralized solution serving creators and audiences alike looking for privacy, security, and anonymity. Without privacy, Web3 can turn into a dangerous diversion of Web2 architecture, where data and consumer behavior are public and available for big corporations to exploit them, or worse— ruin relationships between those closest to you. Secret Admirers solves information privacy for the OnlyFans user case, protecting personal data when streaming user-generated content.

Detailed product description

Instantiating private SCRT smart contracts on Secret, Secret Admirers is Web3's encrypted, private OnlyFans derivative. To access user-generated content and subscriptions, users pay with native tokens on Secret Network to access exclusive private content and subscriptions for creators on the network. This way, transactions, subscriptions, and activity remain private and safeguarded by the SCRT network. Secret Admirers is a decentralized Webapp with an IBC-enabled private tech stack on SCRT network. Secret Admirers compiles custom Rust contracts for privacy where the creator has the option to safeguard exclusive content for VIPs only accessible if you own an NFT from or subscribe to that creator, with a password in the private metadata of the NFT authenticating a user to access. This protects the creator’s original content while also promoting fair revenue streams. This platform is built with data protection and encryption at its core, with the privacy of all users a top priority. We use OBS to stream content. Before giving streaming content to the end user we are encrypt that content. We take small video chunks of data and encrypt it.

Go-to-Market plan

-Targeting content creators in the Onlyfans niche looking for privacy alternatives while simultaneously extracting less from them (SA takes 10%, Onlyfans is not private and takes 20% of all platform transactions) -Metamask wallet compatibility aka Ethereum compatibility allows us the opportunity to onboard external communities to use our Secret native Webapp / dApp -Onlyfans grossed $5.55bn annual revenue in 2022, there is a market opportunity for us launching at privacy enabled alternative to Onlyfans on Secret, capturing significant marketshare. -SA is an opportunity to onboard Web2 native creators to use permissionless, blockchain based products, particularly Secret Native. -Cross-Promotion with Existing Web2 Audience: Utilizing the existing Web2 product audience to promote new Secret native features. This existing user base provides a ready market for initial growth and adoption. -Marketing Campaigns on Social Media and Content Platforms: Utilizing social media and content platforms to run targeted advertising campaigns. -Educational Content and Workshops: Creating educational content and workshops to familiarize new users with the platform's features and the broader blockchain ecosystem. This helps in reducing the entry barrier for new users who may be interested but are not familiar with blockchain technology.

Value capture for Secret Network ecosystem

The main KPIs for Secret Network are TVL (privacy value add to other blockchain ecosystems), the number of transactions, and the number of users (for applications). This Grant is designed to attract additional users to the ecosystem to both consume and create content on Secret Admirers. By doing so, Secret Admirers aims to bridge the gap between seasoned users of blockchain technology and non-crypto native users who frequent platforms like Twitch, Onlyfans, Kik, and other live-streaming websites.

Expanding the user base in this way brings immense value to the Secret Network. Firstly, it diversifies the network's audience, making it a more inclusive and versatile platform. This inclusivity is crucial for the long-term sustainability and growth of the network. Secondly, by introducing a new segment of users to the privacy features of the Secret Network, Secret Admirers helps to underscore the network's unique selling proposition in a crowded blockchain market. Finally, the influx of a varied user base, ranging from crypto-savvy individuals to those new to blockchain technology, will likely lead to a surge in innovative use cases and interactions within the network, further solidifying the Secret Network's position as a leader in privacy based blockchain protocols.
