Zero One turns every art post into a sale by hiding blockchain complexity and guaranteeing royalties on Avalanche.

Instagram made artists famous, not solvent. Zero One wants the second part fixed. The cultural distribution engine started on Avalanche’s (AVAX) C-Chain and now lives on its own subnet, letting 55 thousand creators sell art the same moment they share it. 

Posting mints a collectible, collecting requires posting, and perpetual royalties route back to wallets no matter how many resales occur. Visibility finally links to income.

Founders Ludovica Rosi and Colborn Bell built UX that hides blockchain. Users sign up with email, mint for free, and never touch gas because the platform eats fees. That choice matters in regions where exchanges block crypto on-ramp. 

Artists in Iran and schoolkids anywhere can list work without KYC hoop-jumping. One teenager earned one-hundred-eighty dollars from eighty collectors in a month, proof that micro-patronage scales when hurdles vanish.

Moving to an Avalanche Layer 1 solved December 2023 gas spikes that shut the site for two weeks. Running their own chain through Ava Cloud gives Zero One fee control and enforces royalty logic at the protocol level.

Resales stay inside the subnet, so royalties cannot be dodged by swapping marketplaces. It is a quiet but radical shift from optional tips to guaranteed income. The create-to-collect rule blurs lines between consumer and patron. 

Every collector has felt the vulnerability of posting their own work, fostering empathy and community stickiness. No token bribes, no airdrop farmers, just a feedback loop where culture travels with payments.

Next up is AI-driven curation that surfaces niche styles to buyers who care, plus social features that nudge chat and collaboration. Each addition passes a simple test: does it help artists earn a living from fans, not speculation. If the answer is yes, it ships.

Zero One does not market blockchain; it markets sustainability. By making ownership effortless and royalties unavoidable, the platform shows how Web3 can solve problems social media created. Avalanche supplies the throughput, but the hook is human: create, share, get paid.
