π₯ MTUBE Project Roadmap
π **Vision:
MTUBE aims to be a decentralized alternative to YouTube β where content creators and viewers interact transparently using smart contracts, and all monetization flows in stablecoins (USDT/USDC) on the Base blockchain.
π Note: To ensure high performance and speed, MTUBE will use centralized video storage (e.g., cloud servers or CDN). However, ownership, payments, access rights, and view logs will all be handled on-chain using smart contracts deployed on Base Chain.
ποΈ Phased Roadmap
β Phase 0: Ideation & Planning
[x] Finalize platform concept and name (MTUBE)
[x] Select Base Chain for scalability & low fees
[x] Define monetization model (USDT/USDC via smart contracts)
[ ] Prepare whitepaper and GitHub documentation
π§ Phase 1: MVP Development (Month 1-2)
π― Goal: Deliver a working prototype with basic upload and payment flow
[ ] Wallet connect (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet)
[ ] Upload videos to centralized storage (e.g., S3 or Web2 video server)
[ ] Smart contract to register video ownership & view cost (e.g. $0.05/view)
[ ] Viewer pays USDT/USDC to unlock content
[ ] Frontend UI with video player, connect wallet, and simple layout
[ ] Public/private video visibility
[ ] Basic creator dashboard
π° Phase 2: Full Monetization Logic (Month 2-4)
π― Goal: Enable creator earnings, view tracking, and payouts
[ ] Set flexible pricing per video by creator
[ ] Smart contract handles all viewer payments and splits
[ ] Creator can claim funds anytime
[ ] Failed transactions refunded automatically
[ ] View tracking mechanism via on-chain logs
[ ] Anti-bot view protection (wallet + time + rate limit)
π§ Phase 3: Content Management & UX Upgrades (Month 4-6)
π― Goal: Improve user experience and trust
[ ] Creator profile pages (wallet-linked)
[ ] Video categories and tags
[ ] Top trending and newest videos
[ ] Flagging/reporting videos for abuse
[ ] Creator staking for premium features (optional)
[ ] Simple Terms of Use / Guidelines enforcement
π Phase 4: Web3 Social Layer (Month 6-9)
π― Goal: Add social features using on-chain primitives
[ ] Like/dislike stored on-chain or indexed
[ ] Comment system (using off-chain + hash on-chain)
[ ] Subscribe to creator (notifications via wallet)
[ ] Creator "series" or playlists
π Phase 5: Platform Security + Audits (Month 9-12)
π― Goal: Ensure all contracts and logic are safe & scalable
[ ] Full smart contract audit (third-party)
[ ] Frontend and backend security hardening
[ ] Terms of service & legal compliance research
[ ] Bug bounty program launch
π Future Plans (Post-Year 1)
[ ] Mobile-friendly version (PWA or native app)
[ ] On-chain ad system (optional)
[ ] Referral rewards system
[ ] NFT-based content access (optional)
[ ] DAO-based community curation (optional, long-term)
