Code, an innovative global payments platform revolutionizing microtransactions for online creators, has secured $6.5 million in seed funding to propel its growth and democratize digital monetization.
In a significant milestone for digital payments, Code has garnered $6.5 million in seed funding, led by prominent venture capital firms M13 and Union Square Ventures. Notable investors such as Balaji Srinivasan and Solana Co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko have also shown their support for Code’s vision to reshape how online creators earn revenue.
Founded by Ted Livingston, the mastermind behind the widely-used chat app Kik, Code addresses a significant hurdle in the digital economy: the challenge of monetizing small-value content. By enabling microtransactions starting from as low as $0.05, Code unlocks fresh revenue avenues for creators across various fields, including bloggers and artists, empowering them to earn from audiences worldwide.
Leveraging state-of-the-art blockchain technology, Code offers a seamless and cost-effective payment solution that empowers online creators like never before. Originating as a not-for-profit initiative, Code has transitioned into a for-profit venture while staying true to its commitment to the open-source community. With the infusion of new funding, Code is poised to accelerate its expansion and advance its mission of fostering global financial inclusion.
By facilitating micro-payments for digital content, Code transcends being just a payment platform; it becomes a catalyst for economic empowerment and opportunities for creators on a global scale.
