> where creators earn more.

MintStars enables content creators to monetize their work through subscriptions and NFT-based collectibles with zero fees and crypto payments to prevent financial discrimination.

MintStars is a subscription and content platform for creators that uses blockchain technology to provide 0% creator fees, chargeback protection, and immediate payouts. The platform allows creators to turn content into limited edition collectibles that fans can buy and resell, with creators earning royalties from secondary sales. Built on Polygon, it addresses financial discrimination against adult content creators.
