Shareio: A Revolutionary Decentralized Digital Rights and Revenue Management Tool with Integrated Content Marketplace, Incentives, and Creator Foundation
by Charles Bronstein & John Safa
Abstract
The Shareio project introduces a cutting-edge decentralized software solution for secure digital rights management (DRM) and asset monetization (AM). Shareio’s proprietary software empowers creators to securely promote and monetize digital content directly from cloud storage providers, offering robust tools to protect intellectual property and optimize revenue.
Designed with a creator-first approach, Shareio offers versatile DRM features alongside highly customizable monetization options, allowing creators to choose the most effective monetization strategies for their content. Whether through traditional Web2 methods or innovative Web3 solutions, creators can monetize individual pieces of digital files or bundle them as comprehensive assets via Shareio Magic Links (encrypted URLs) which are accessible to audiences anywhere URL’s can be shared, via the Shareio website and through the Shareio App (Apple/Android/AppleTV).
This white paper outlines the core functionalities of the Shareio platform, $SHAREIO token economy, and the incentives tailored for users. Shareio’s focus is to ensure creators maintain full ownership of their intellectual property rights while benefiting from secure, scalable, and incentivized monetization avenues. The $SHAREIO utility token will be used as a means of payment within the ecosystem, carrying reduced fees for both buyers and sellers versus traditional forms of payment and provide users access to promotional features and benefits within the Shareio ecosystem. Shareio intends to serve as a long-term provider of the token’s liquidity, deploying a percentage of its revenue from each Web2 transaction to purchase $SHAREIO tokens off the exchange. Those tokens will be deposited into a creator foundation to then be redistributed to future creators via a grant program.
Shareio’s Founding Team is composed of cyber security and corporate finance experts with over 30 granted patents and over 60 years of combined professional experience. The team has developed Shareio to provide a creator-first tool to protect intellectual property rights while providing a secure and customizable solution to monetize content on their own terms. We invite you to explore our vision for a new utility token and an ecosystem designed to support the diverse needs of the world’s 200+ million content creators, developers, and game designers. By moving beyond algorithmic content discovery, Shareio aims to alleviate the key issues facing the overwhelming majority of creators today: high fees, piracy, demonetization, censorship and artificial intelligence scrubbing.

Global Consumer Digital Goods Economy
The Global Consumer Digital Goods Economy has annual sales of over $1Trillion USD with annual growth forecast at 7.5%. The two major segments within this economy are the creator economy and the gaming economy, largely comprising the digital gaming and software applications markets.
The Creator Economy
The creator economy consists of over 200 Million creators with estimated annual revenue projected to be $480 billion USD by 2027 with 13% annual growth, according to a 2023 Goldman Sachs research report. This is the fastest-growing sub-category within digital media. Despite the size and growth of the market, fewer than 5% of digital creators earn over $100K/yr. This presents a significant opportunity to provide a tool for all creators, especially the 95% who struggle to generate meaningful income in today’s fragmented and complex monetization landscape.
Currently, creators monetize their content in three primary ways:
- Advertising Revenue: Primarily from ad-supported short-form videos
- Brand Direct Deals: Focused on influencer branded content and affiliate marketing
- Audience Direct Monetization: Including sales, subscriptions, tipping and similar methods.
Given that the vast majority of creators struggle to earn via advertising and brand direct deals, Audience Direct Monetization is a critical channel for increasing creator incomes. This presents a substantial opportunity for a more efficient, secure and accessible monetization tool that addresses the needs of the overwhelming majority of creators.
The Global Gaming Economy
The second major market within the digital goods economy is the gaming economy, valued at $350 Billion in 2024 and forecast to grow at 11.6% per year to $1,065 Billion by 2032, according to Inkwood Research. As of 2022, there were approximately 44,000 independent game developers on Steam, according to a study from VG Insights. One of the most popular gaming developer portals, Steam, charges fees as high as 30% to developers. There are an estimated 1.85 billion PC gamers worldwide, according to Statista.
Shareio’s Solution
Shareio addresses the challenges in both the creator and developer economies by offering a cost-effective, secure, and Web3-enhanced platform. By providing tools that unlock the earning potential of creators and developers, Shareio bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3 audiences. The $SHAREIO token is positioned to play a pivotal role in facilitating seamless transactions within the digital goods economy, driving value across both creator and developer ecosystems.
Introducing Shareio: A Single Tool for Multi-Platform, Multi-Content Distribution
1. Overview
Shareio offers a comprehensive solution for creators, an easy-to-use tool for securely distributing content across multiple platforms, regardless of file type. By integrating with leading cloud storage providers such as Filebase, Pinata, Storj, Google, Amazon S3, Dropbox, Flickr, Vimeo, and Smugmug, Shareio facilitates seamless content distribution and monetization directly from these service providers. This approach not only simplifies the distribution process but also maximizes the potential for revenue generation. Shareio adds value to creators through customizable monetization practices, robust DRM (anti-piracy) features, algorithm-free content feeds, and a marketplace that rewards their unique perspectives and artistic abilities. The $SHAREIO token further enhances the platform by enabling creators to: 1) earn more with reduced fees 2) promote their work within the Shareio marketplace, 3) reward fellow creators and users when they distribute and purchase content or engage positively in the Shareio community 4) reward tomorrow’s creators with grants from our creator foundation funded with each web2 transaction.
2. Creator Challenges
In the creator economy, buying, tipping, and subscribing have become common ways for fans to support creators. However, most platforms fail to provide creators with the full value of their content, from withholding earnings to charging exorbitant fees that can be as high as 30%. This significantly diminishes the return on investment for creators. Furthermore, ever-changing policies can lead to sudden demonetization or deletion of content, erasing years of brand building and effort in an instant.
Content security and piracy are critical issues for creators. User generated content (UGC) is often stolen and remonetized on these platforms, added to compilation videos, brand campaigns, or even resold as a digital good under false accounts, all without a creator's permission, allowing pirates and platforms to generate revenue from content without creator consent.
The business model of being a creator involves navigating the nuanced and often vague distribution, recommendation, and monetization rules of each platform. Chasing algorithms on multiple platforms fatigues creators and, over time, rewards mindless, formulaic, trend-based content, creating a digital monoculture void of creative freedom and diverse, authentic perspectives.
Revenue scales have been disproportionately tipped in favor of corporate brands hiring creators and the platforms that host creator content. This imbalance has led to widespread creator burnout. A 2023 Tasty Edits creator survey of creators uncovered that 80% of creators are struggling to monetize their work. Shareio is dedicated to tipping the scales back in favor of creators by addressing these issues head on.
3. Tackling Content Piracy with Blockchain Technology
One of the most pressing issues for content creators is the rampant theft and misuse of their work. Brands and content farms frequently profit from stolen content, while educational intellectual property is resold without permission. Additionally, content strike systems are often manipulated to the detriment of creators. Blockchain technology offers promising solutions to these challenges.
Enhanced Attribution and Ownership
- Blockchain technology creates immutable records of ownership and provenance, ensuring that original creators are always credited. Content uploaded to a blockchain-based platform is time-stamped and linked to the creator’s digital identity, securing their claim and simplifying ownership disputes. This transparent attribution can significantly reduce content theft.
Preventing Unauthorized Reselling
- Blockchain’s transparent ledger system can track the lifecycle of digital assets, making unauthorized reselling more difficult. This functionality helps maintain the integrity of digital marketplaces and protects creators from losing revenue to unauthorized sales.
As the digital landscape evolves, these technologies present exciting opportunities for creators and Web3 enthusiasts alike. By embracing blockchain, creators can secure their intellectual property, maximize their earnings, and gain more control over their digital assets.
4. Data Ownership and Decentralized Storage: Protecting Creators' Content
At Shareio, protecting creators and their content is at the heart of our mission. Our team brings extensive experience in the digital rights space which has significantly influenced our innovation decisions. This expertise led to the development of Shareio's tool built around decentralized storage. Shareio ensures the security of creators' content by enabling decentralized storage and monetization, effectively preventing AI harvesters from accessing source files in the cloud.
Unlike traditional platforms, Shareio only collects data on the thumbnails used for each piece of content, not the source content itself. This approach allows us to provide creators with valuable insights, such as content purchase metrics and benchmarks, without compromising the security of their original work. These data-driven insights enable creators to refine their content strategies and better segment their fanbase, all while retaining full control over the viewing and usage of their source files.
Decentralized Storage: Empowering Creators
Decentralized file storage fundamentally shifts the power dynamics in data management by placing control back in the hands of creators. Enhanced privacy ensures that sensitive information remains secure and under the owner’s control. Customization allows creators to tailor their storage solutions to their unique needs, ensuring optimal performance and accessibility.
Monetization opportunities
Decentralized storage provides creators with direct financial benefits from their content, fostering a more equitable and profitable content economy. By leveraging decentralized storage, creators can enjoy a more private, customizable, and profitable approach to managing their content and its data, ultimately leading to greater autonomy and empowerment within the digital landscape.
5. Robust Feature Set Puts Creators First
Shareio provides a seamless, cross-device experience to users, accessible via mobile, TV, tablet, and PC through the Shareio App available in the Apple App Store, via Google Play for Android, and via AppleTV. In addition, Shareio provides a range of features tailored to creators, allowing them to focus on content creation while minimizing revenue loss due to piracy or platform abuse. By combining content monetization with advanced intellectual property protections and blockchain-powered distribution, Shareio offers a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for both Web2 and Web3 creators.

8. Future Features & Enhancements
$SHAREIO token will play a key role in funding the continued development of features that protect creators' intellectual property (IP) and maximize their earnings. Two critical areas of focus for future development include addressing licensing issues and preventing the abuse of content strike systems.
Community-Driven Moderation
In the creator economy, bad actors—such as brands attempting to remove negative reviews or competitors falsely reporting content to trigger demonetization—pose significant challenges. To combat this, Shareio plans to implement a blockchain-based community-driven moderation system. By transparently tracking who reports content and the reasons behind these reports, the platform will incentivize community members to verify the legitimacy of flagged content. Successful reviews will be rewarded with Shareio Points, fostering a self-regulating ecosystem that protects creators and maintains a healthy community.
Smart Contracts for Automated Royalties and Licensing
Smart contracts, which are self-executing agreements with terms embedded in code, will be used to automate royalty payments and licensing. Whenever content is viewed, shared, or sold, the smart contract will automatically distribute payments to the creator and any other relevant parties. This system ensures that creators are fairly compensated while eliminating intermediaries who might otherwise take a share of the revenue. Additionally, creators can specify how their content can be used, providing greater control and safeguarding their IP from misuse.
Decentralized Content Strike Systems
Traditional content strike systems are often opaque and prone to abuse, leading to unjust penalties for creators. Shareio aims to introduce a decentralized content strike system using blockchain technology. This system will maintain clear and immutable records of all claims and strikes, making it easier to verify the validity of each case.
Strategic Partnerships
Shareio will seek to develop multiple partnerships with enterprises that can assist Shareio’s strategic roadmap, including forming key partnerships with media and entertainment companies to enhance the platform’s reach, functionality, and value proposition for creators and consumers alike. These partnerships will focus on integrating with major content distribution networks, streaming services, and rights management organizations to streamline content licensing and broaden monetization opportunities for creators. Additionally, Shareio will seek collaborations with digital publishers, music labels, film studios, and gaming enterprises to facilitate exclusive content releases and co-branded experiences. By aligning with influential players in the media and entertainment sectors, Shareio aims to create a robust ecosystem that leverages industry expertise, drives innovation, and ensures a diverse, secure, and profitable environment for digital asset creators.

Token Classification
The $SHAREIO token is specifically designed as a utility token, with its primary purpose being to facilitate transactions and unlock features within the Shareio platform. Unlike security or governance tokens, which grant holders ownership stakes or voting rights, utility tokens like Shareio are intended to enhance user engagement and platform functionality. Utility tokens are commonly used in DeFi applications, Web3 games, and other blockchain-based services to incentivize participation. While a token can serve multiple roles in a protocol, the $SHAREIO token is focused on providing direct value to users by enabling them to interact seamlessly with the platform.
Token Economy
The $SHAREIO economy is designed as a deflationary one. This means the circulating quantity of tokens will remain fixed or decline over time, this may result in a positive impact on their value over time as the demand will likely continue to grow. Deflationary cryptocurrencies are thought to benefit users by increasing their purchasing power over longer periods of time.
Shareio tokens are burned when they are exchanged for Reward Points, actively reducing the circulating supply of tokens. Additionally, new tokens can not be minted, meaning the supply will never exceed the predetermined amount and can only keep decreasing after the vesting schedule has finished.
Token Supply & Allocations
The total supply of $SHAREIO will be 1.000.000.000 tokens. With this capped supply, the allocation of tokens across various stakeholders and the gradual release through vesting schedules will play a key role in determining the token's inflation over time, as demand grows and the available supply becomes more limited.
Token allocations were carefully designed with the long-term sustainability of the $SHAREIO token economy in mind. A significant portion of the tokens is allocated for rewards, ensuring that these tokens will eventually be distributed to the user base community, which is crucial for driving the platform's growth and fostering user engagement. Another large allocation is designated for the core team, rewarding them for their efforts in building the platform and incentivizing their continued commitment to its future development.
Funds will be raised and a liquidity pool set up through the IDO. No additional tokens are set aside for further (pre-)sale rounds. An extra 10% of tokens is also set aside for the liquidity provision and market making. Having a sufficiently deep liquidity pool helps reduce token price volatility. To deepen the liquidity pool even further, tokens are allocated for liquidity mining. These tokens will be used to reward token holders for providing liquidity on the DEX. Based on the depth of the liquidity pool and monthly released tokens the users receive a variable APR for staking in the liquidity pool.
This approach helps to avoid excessive dilution and ensures that the token supply remains aligned with the platform’s growth objectives. By balancing these allocations, the platform aims to create a healthy and sustainable ecosystem that supports both immediate and long-term goals.
Token Vesting Schedule
The graph below illustrates the overall vesting schedule of $SHAREIO, with tokens being released gradually over a 3-year period. This gradual release is designed to prevent sudden surges in token supply. By responsibly managing the release of tokens, the platform aims to maintain market stability, ensuring a balanced flow of tokens into the market while supporting sustainable growth.
Token Value Mechanics
$SHAREIO, as a utility token, derives its value from its various use cases within the platform. The value of the token is directly tied to the ways it can be utilized by holders, like making purchases on the platform. This section explores the mechanics that contribute to the token’s value and support the growth of the platform. By understanding these underlying mechanisms, we can see how $SHAREIO's utility helps sustain platform growth.
Cashflow
Value flows back into the Shareio ecosystem in two ways. Firstly, through the transaction fees coming into the projects's treasury. Secondly, through creators buying advertising space on the platform or boosting their content.
Value Mechanics
The token’s utility is a key driver of token adoption on the Shareio platform.
The token can be used to purchase content and benefit economically from reduced transaction fees on both sides of the transaction. Additional utilities of the token include sponsoring content, promoting content, and as a reward for audiences.
This cost-saving benefit encourages consumers to use the token for their purchases versus traditional card payments.
$SHAREIO has a deflationary economy, meaning the number of tokens in the circulating supply will reduce over time after reaching a peak. Tokens being burned when users buy Reward Points will actively reduce the amount of available tokens. Additionally, Shareio will actively be buying back tokens from the (decentralized) exchange using a portion of the FIAT fees earned from transactions, creating a constant demand for tokens on the exchange and providing an additional inflow of liquidity. This fundamental integration of the $SHAREIO token into the Shareio ecosystem represents a significant benefit that is a major deflationary enhancement to token holders.
Incentives
The Shareio platform is designed to empower content creators by offering a range of incentives that reward participation, sales, and overall performance. These incentives are structured to encourage early adoption, drive sustained engagement, and recognize top-performing creators. Below is a detailed breakdown of the incentive mechanisms that will be implemented on the Shareio platform.
Reward: Additional Shareio Reward Points for Selling Content
To encourage content creators to sell their work through the Shareio platform, we will allocate a fixed amount of Shareio Reward Points specifically for rewarding a percentage of the total sale amount. For every sale made during the initial phase of launch, sellers will receive an additional bonus in Shareio Reward Points, on top of their earnings from the sale. This initiative is particularly aimed at incentivizing early adopters, providing them with additional value, and encouraging them to list and sell their content on the platform from the outset.
Reward: Additional Shareio Reward Points for Advancing Creators
To further motivate content creators, Shareio will offer additional rewards for reaching sales milestones. For example, creators who achieve a certain number of sales within a defined period will be eligible for bonus Shareio Reward Points. This structure incentivizes not just the act of selling, but the consistency and volume of sales, pushing creators to actively engage with the platform and grow their presence.
Ranking Creators and Rewarding Top Performers
In line with practices on other freelance and content platforms, Shareio will implement a ranking system that identifies and rewards top-performing creators with Shareio Reward Points based on their sales over various periods (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, 1 year). Creators will be awarded Levels based on their performance during these periods.
Achieving a higher Level or Tier will not only serve as a mark of distinction but will also unlock additional benefits. Creators who reach higher levels will be eligible for enhanced Shareio Reward Points rewards tied to their revenue. This tiered structure creates a competitive environment that encourages creators to continuously improve their content offerings and sales performance.
Creator Foundation: Empowering Innovation Through Community Support
At Shareio, we believe in the power of creativity and collaboration. That's why we’re excited to introduce the Shareio Creator Foundation—an initiative designed to support the next wave of innovation within our community.
The creator foundation is to be fueled by a percentage of Shareio’s fees from credit card transactions, ensuring that every transaction helps drive creativity and growth. Shareio will use a percentage of it’s revenue to purchase tokens off the exchange (providing additional liquidity to the token ecosystem) and deposit those into the foundation. These tokens will then be distributed to future creators via grants, which offer support to projects and creators that align with Shareio's core values and long-term goals.
The fund will be overseen by a diverse and experienced group consisting of high-profile Shareio creator foundation members and esteemed creator advisors. This group will be responsible for evaluating project submissions, selecting the most promising ideas, and assigning grants to those who will make a significant and positive impact to the Shareio ecosystem.
Whether an artist, developer, or innovator with a groundbreaking concept, the Shareio creator foundation will seek to help turn creators’ visions into reality.
Liquidity Mining
Liquidity mining is a process where Shareio token holders provide liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) by listing their Shareio tokens paired with another more liquid token. In return, Shareio token holders receive LP tokens, which can be staked to earn additional Shareio tokens. The size of these rewards will depend on the tokens allocated by Shareio and the depth of the liquidity pool. These liquidity mining rewards incentivize users to contribute to the liquidity of the exchange, which helps facilitate smoother trading and reduce price volatility. Especially during the initial phase we seek to incentivize early token holders to provide liquidity to the liquidity pool.
