What they do

Problem

Publishers lose revenue when users block ads and avoid traditional subscriptions, limiting monetization of digital content.

Solution

CoinTent provides a digital wallet and micropayment subscription platform that lets users pay small amounts to access individual pieces of content across participating websites.

Who it's for

Online publishers and content creators use it to monetize articles, videos, and other digital content, while end users pay per piece of content.
