Video, mobile first, open APIs, an existing two-sided market, and a userbase already transacting digitally. The YouNow live video platform is an ideal candidate for a monetary network-based business. YouNow’s Props project aims to achieve just this.

Decentralized economies will reshape digital media.
Decentralized monetary networks work well when applied to existing producer-consumer networks.

Two-sided marketplaces
Established digital economies
Network-based businesses
