About the Product
EarnLumens is a content marketplace built on Stellar where every purchase is a real on-chain transaction. Users connect a Stellar wallet, browse structured content (video, audio, articles, courses), and purchase premium materials by signing transactions directly in XLM ā payments go peer-to-peer from buyer to creator with no intermediary. The platform verifies each transaction on-chain via Horizon before unlocking access, enabling creators to monetize reliably while generating real, measurable activity across the Stellar network. Built from day one on a replicable, multi-tenant architecture, so the same infrastructure that powers the first content vertical today can launch any Stellar-native marketplace instance tomorrow.
Problem & Solutions
Problem
There is no native marketplace on Stellar where creators can publish and monetize content directly in XLM, forcing them onto Web2 platforms that take large cuts, exclude crypto payments, and disconnect creators from the ecosystem they're building for.
