Last updated: October 11, 2026
The Nouns TV platform is operated and owned by BASCODE DESENVOLVIMENTO DE APLICATIVOS LTDA, CNPJ nº 42.377.335/0001-73, headquartered at Rua Maria Curupaiti, 19, Vila Ester, São Paulo/SP, CEP 02452-000, Brazil ("BASCODE").
By accessing or using Nouns TV, the user declares that they have read, understood, and fully agree with these Terms of Use.
1. DEFINITIONS
- Platform: Nouns TV, including website, mobile, TV and virtual reality (VR) apps, APIs, smart contracts, and technical infrastructure.
- User: any person who uses the platform.
- Streamer / Creator: user who publishes and monetizes content.
- Wallet: Web3 wallet used as digital identity.
- DAO: decentralized autonomous organization associated with the Nouns ecosystem.
- Smart Contract: code executed on blockchain that automates rules and transactions.
2. PLATFORM SCOPE
Nouns TV is a Web3 platform for distribution, monetization, and protection of audiovisual content, based on blockchain technology, smart contracts, and wallet authentication.
BASCODE acts exclusively as a provider of technological infrastructure, not exercising prior editorial curation nor participating in the legal relationship between creators and the public.
3. REGISTRATION AND DIGITAL IDENTITY
3.1 Creator registration and wallet
Creators may register with an email address, including through invitation campaigns, and create a channel and publish content without a wallet. Connecting a Web3 wallet, which works as the creator's digital identity on the blockchain, is required only for:
- Receiving payments through the decentralized rail (smart contracts);
- NFT-based benefits (section 5.1).
Payouts in fiat currency (Pix or credit card) follow the rails described in section 4.4.
3.2 Ownership and non-custody
The user declares to be the legitimate controller of the wallet used. Nouns TV does not have custody of digital assets and does not store private keys or seed phrases.
4. FINANCIAL MODEL, INTERMEDIATION AND PAYMENT RAILS
4.1 Nature of Intermediation and Billing Mandate
Nouns TV operates strictly as a technological platform and business intermediary between the Creator and the End User. When monetizing any content or interaction on the platform (including recurring subscriptions, live stream tickets, temporary rentals, permanent access purchases, and donations/tips), the Creator expressly grants BASCODE the powers of an agent and exclusive billing representative to enable the collection of funds through integrated payment processors (including Stripe and Asaas) or via smart contracts.
4.2 Revenue Split
The gross amount paid by the end user in any transaction will be split and settled as follows:
- 80% (eighty percent) allocated to the Creator / Streamer;
- 20% (twenty percent) retained by BASCODE as a service intermediation fee (take rate / platform fee).
Sole paragraph: Operating fees charged by payment gateways, network fees (gas fees), or bank transfer and advance payout charges will be deducted according to the specific rules of each financial rail prior to or at the time of settlement.
4.3 Independent Rails (1:1)
Nouns TV operates with multiple independent settlement rails (Web2 and Web3). The transfer of the 80% to the Creator occurs strictly in the same currency, network, or gateway used in the original payment by the user (1:1 relationship). The platform does not provide foreign exchange, fiat-to-crypto conversion, or token swap services.
4.4 Fiat Flow (Web2) and Transitory Custody
Transactions in fiat currency (Pix or Credit Card) are processed by authorized acquirers and partners (such as Stripe and Asaas). Funds credited to the Creator represent transitory resources of their exclusive ownership awaiting payout/withdrawal, with no transfer of equity ownership of these funds to BASCODE. Withdrawals will take place exclusively in fiat currency through the respective rails registered by the Creator.
4.5 Decentralized Flow (Web3)
Transactions carried out in a decentralized environment (Ethereum, Base, Linea, or related networks) are governed and split natively via smart contracts. The Creator's net balance is made available or transferred directly on-chain to the respective wallet, in the exact same tokens of the original transaction.
4.6 Tax Responsibility and Fiscal Invoicing
The Creator acknowledges and agrees that they are the sole and exclusive provider/supplier of digital content services to the end user, remaining personally and entirely responsible for determining their taxes and issuing the corresponding fiscal document/invoice (NFS-e, NF-e, or personal income tax declaration / self-employment tax) covering the total amount paid by the user.
BASCODE is solely responsible for tax compliance and invoice issuance regarding its own intermediation fee (the retained 20% commission), and shall not be held liable for tax liabilities, withholdings, or obligations of Creators in any jurisdiction.
5. PLANS AND NFT-BASED BENEFITS
- Free: channel creation and VOD upload.
- Plus: includes live streams.
- Premium: includes advanced security features and DRM.
5.1 Automatic benefits
- Lil Nouns NFT → automatic access to Plus Plan.
- Nouns NFT → automatic access to Premium Plan.
Benefits remain active as long as the NFT is present in the wallet.
