The pieces
EidoOS — the ecosystem's video platform: a publishing studio and a channel format (complete and tested), pay per megabyte watched with 70 % to the creator, pricing derived from measured serving cost. In internal testing on Google Play; backend not yet on a public domain.
pallet-video-nft — an episode as a native NFT: ownership, metadata, edition size. pallet-nft-royalties — a rule applied by the runtime on every resale, whichever marketplace. pallet-subscription — a season pass as a recurring on-chain payment. pallet-blob-storage — the video bytes committed on chain, stored in the market, availability verified.
A storyteller's flow, as designed
- Publish a channel in EidoOS; upload episodes through the studio, which encodes each per title to a target perceptual quality (VMAF) so viewers pay for bytes that are actually needed.
- Viewers pay per megabyte; 70 % accrues to the creator per view. A monthly spending cap protects heavy viewers (cheaper than a subscription if you watch little, never more expensive if you watch a lot).
- Optionally, mint an episode or a season as a video NFT with a royalty rule; sell editions through
pallet-marketplace; resales pay the creator automatically. - Optionally, offer a season pass via
pallet-subscription.
What is real today
The studio and channel format, tested (199 backend + 157 client tests). The pricing ladder and the economic fixes behind it. The pallets in runtime 220. Batch and lazy minting fees measured.
What is not
A public EidoOS backend. Any creator paid 70 % of a real viewer's payment. Any video NFT minted from EidoOS. The page this replaces described a pioneering onchain story on another platform; the ecosystem's first will be reported with its channel and its first payout.
Why it fits this chain
Because 70 % and a royalty are numbers the runtime can enforce. On a conventional platform the creator share is a policy the platform can change; here the royalty is a property of the asset and the payment split is code. A story that owns its economics is the point.
