We're building the world's first transparent entertainment studio — a new model where audiences participate in production, creators own their platforms, and every transaction is verifiable. We're replacing Hollywood's century-old playbook of secrecy with radical transparency, interactive live experiences, and a creator-first economy. Our proprietary Studio OS consolidates 13+ fragmented tools into one integrated platform: project management, marketplace, community forums, financial ledger, creator dashboards, and an opportunity hub — all powered by smart contracts and automation. Subscribers don't just watch content; they influence creative decisions, submit proposals for greenlighting, apply for cast/crew roles, and experience production in real-time through influencer-hosted live reality shows. We're raising a $1.5M pre-seed round to fund our prototype production and scale our subscriber acquisition engine. This is entertainment infrastructure for the next century.

CTX is building infrastructure for moving and accessing digital assets. Crypto is fragmented across thousands of wallets, blockchains, exchanges, protocols, and liquidity sources. Moving between these systems is still complicated, and businesses that want to support crypto often have to integrate with multiple platforms and pieces of infrastructure. We’re building CTX to make this simpler, giving users and businesses a way to access and move value across the crypto ecosystem without having to deal with all of the underlying complexity. Our first product is a non-custodial trading platform that lets users trade directly from their wallets, without depositing their assets into an exchange. The trading platform is the beginning. The larger goal is to build the infrastructure that makes interacting with crypto as simple as possible.
