I was inspired by the frustration of seeing creators lose control of their own revenue. Too many platforms act as middlemen—holding funds, charging high fees, or owning the customer relationship.

The problem I wanted to solve was financial sovereignty. I wanted to build a tool where the creator owns the data and the money hits their account instantly. No holding periods, no 'platform risk.'

The biggest evolution was in our approach to flexibility. We started with just credit cards (Stripe). But during development, we realized the Telegram market is global and diverse. We had to pivot our architecture to support a 'universal wallet' approach—integrating everything from Telegram Stars to Crypto and even manual Access Codes. We realized we couldn't just build a payment tool; we had to build an ecosystem that works in New York, Colombo, and everywhere in between. And many more integrations and support for payment gateways are in the works.

And Telegram is just our start. Many more platform integrations are in our roadmap including, WhatsApp, Messenger and Discord.
