About Saintz! FAQ

1. What is Saintz?
Saintz is a platform designed for creators, akin to Patreon but built on the Tezos blockchain. It aims to leverage blockchain technology for enhanced creator support and engagement, introducing features like NFT drops and member-only events. Check out our Creator page to become a Saint for your favorite artist!

2. How Does Saintz Use Tezos?
Saintz utilizes the Tezos blockchain for transactions, including donations and memberships. This integration allows for secure, transparent, and decentralized financial interactions between creators and their supporters.

3. What Are the Benefits of Using Saintz Over Traditional Platforms?
- Decentralization: Transactions and content ownership are managed through blockchain, reducing reliance on a central authority.
- NFTs: Creators can offer unique digital assets or experiences as NFTs.
- Web 3.0 Integration: Enhanced privacy, security, and direct interaction with fans without intermediaries.

4. How Do Creators Get Paid on Saintz?
Creators receive payments in Tezos (XTZ) for memberships and donations. Creators can set different membership tiers with differing levels of rewards and duration. Saintz can then decide which tier they'd like to purchase. Please note that 9.5% of membership costs go to the platform for further development. If you have suggestions for new features please contact us! Creators receive 100% of any tips received through the platform.

5. What Features Does Saintz Offer for Supporters?
Supporters can engage with creators through memberships, attend exclusive events, or receive unique digital content, including NFTs. The platform also supports direct financial contributions.

6. Is There a Token Associated with Saintz?
No! Saintz is a transparent platform that allows people to support their favorite creators and receive monthly rewards. The Saintz Platform does not gamify this experience and we DO NOT have an associated token and DO NOT have any plans to release one. Treat any announcement of such as a scam and report it to us immediately so that we can let people know.

7. How Does Saintz Ensure Security for Transactions?
By leveraging the Tezos blockchain, Saintz benefits from its inherent security features, including smart contract functionality and consensus mechanisms that ensure transaction integrity and security. We have done an informal audit with multiple developers to fix potential security issues. If you have any information about potential security flaws or bugs, please inform us immediately and we will attempt to reward you appropriately.

8. Can Anyone Become a Creator on Saintz?
Yes, Saintz is designed to be accessible to all creators. Currently, every profile allows for people to be Saintz (signing up for monthly memberships) and/or Creators (creating membership tiers and offering rewards. In the future, we'll probably update this feature to include an application process for creators, but as of this moment anyone who has a current offering for a membership tier will be featured on our "creator" page.

9. As a creator, what rewards should I offer my Saintz?
That's up to you! We encourage you to think through what rewards make sense. Are you an NFT artist with a large following? Maybe offering a base tier of 3 months with one NFT airdrop per month makes sense for Saintz who like to collect your artwork but don't want to wait for the release date to try to buy it on OBJKT. Are you a developer who is creating a novel product that will benefit the Tezos community? Maybe you use the membership tiers as way for Saintz to support your work on a 1 month, 6 months, or yearly basis. Get creative! Think about what Saintz would appreciate for supporting your work and make sure to communicate clearly what people can expect to receive from you!

10. Are There Any Fees for Using Saintz?
We take a flat fee of 9.5% from all memberships to recoup some of our development costs and to build out new features if the platform becomes successful. We don't take any of your tips! Creators receive 100% of all tips from their Saintz. If you like the latest drop from your favorite artist, consider tipping! If you like the platform, consider tipping us too ;)

11. How can people engage with Saintz if they're new to this whole Blockchain thing?
Check out the creators page, see what people are offering and if you're excited about their work! Then create a Tezos wallet and fund it in order to become a Saint today!

12. What's the Future Outlook for Saintz?
We're just trying to break even at this point in development, and if that happens we'll plan a Version 2 Release in 2025 that looks and works even better! Follow us on X @Saintz_App to follow our latest developments!

13. How will I Receive my Rewards?
When you sign up as a Saint, you'll need to verify your Tezos address. Each creator profile contains a list of all their active Saintz, and creators are in charge of sending rewards directly to their Saintz every month. Whether it's an edition of their latest amazing art piece on the blockchain, an email on mailchain containing a link to a secret discord just for their Saintz, or something more... make sure you're checking your wallet for your exciting rewards!
