Testnet beta — now open to testers

Publish. Own. Earn.

Ara is a decentralized content marketplace. Creators sell directly to their audience, buyers truly own what they buy, and anyone can earn by helping distribute content — think BitTorrent meets an app store, with Ethereum payments and cryptographic proof of delivery.

90%of every sale goes to the creator

P2Pcontent delivery, no central servers

Opensource, on-chain, verifiable

One marketplace, three ways to take part

Creators, collectors, and seeders all earn — the protocol splits every purchase between the people who make the network work.

⬆

Publish & earn

Upload anything — games, music, video, docs, software. Set your price in ETH (or free), and keep 90% of every sale. Schedule releases, tag content, and organize it into collections, all in a single transaction.

⇄

Peer-to-peer delivery

Content moves directly between peers over an encrypted P2P network — no central file servers, no takedown choke points. Every download is verified against its cryptographic hash before it reaches your library.

⛏

Seed to earn

Keep content available and get paid for the bytes you serve. Buyers sign cryptographic delivery receipts, and seeders redeem them on-chain for a share of every purchase — fraud-resistant by construction.

◈

True ownership

Purchases are on-chain editions you actually own. Resell on the secondary market with automatic creator royalties, or hold — your library doesn't disappear when a server does.

🛡

Community moderation

Stake-weighted community voting handles flags and disputes with an emergency track for the worst content — moderation with real teeth and no single gatekeeper.

Built on Ethereum

Payments, staking, editions, and rewards all live in audited smart contracts. Connect the wallet you already use — the app talks to MetaMask and WalletConnect out of the box.

Inside the app

One desktop app for buying, publishing, seeding, and getting paid.

Every purchase pays the whole network

The split is enforced by the marketplace contract — nobody can quietly change it out from under you.

90% creator

7.5% seeders

…and 2.5% to ARA stakers. Resales pay the creator a royalty plus the same seeder and staker shares.

Powered by the ARA token

Stake ARA and you earn a share of every sale on the network passively, just for staking — publish content or seed it to other buyers and you earn more.
