Into:Bitcast
Brands meet creators, on-chain
As of · Jun 4, 10:37 UTC
Bitcast turns YouTube content creation into an on-chain market, where brands post briefs, creators publish videos, and verify engagement before any rewards flow. It's the first Bittensor built around creator monetization.
What is Bitcast
Bitcast (SN93) is a Bittensor subnet that connects brands with YouTube content creators. Brands publish content briefs specifying what they want promoted. (creators) publish videos that satisfy those briefs. Validators verify engagement through YouTube Analytics, then distribute rewards based on actual performance metrics.
The simple version: It's like a talent agency meets a . Brands post jobs, creators do the work, and an automated system pays based on what viewers actually watched.
Centralized equivalent: Grapevine, AspireIQ, or traditional influencer marketing platforms. No direct decentralized equivalent existed before Bitcast.
How it works:
- Miners operate YouTube channels (up to 5 accounts per miner for agency-style operations), publish videos targeting active briefs, and earn rewards based on verified engagement, specifically YouTube Premium revenue or an equivalent estimate from minutes watched
- Validators obtain temporary OAuth tokens to access YouTube Analytics, verify which videos satisfy brief requirements (transcript plus description checks), apply boost multipliers and reward caps, and disburse on-chain rewards
