Would you trust a new video platform to pay creators fairly?
Digitalage, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of publicly traded Hop-on, Inc. (OTCID HPNN), has completed the core build of its live-streaming creator platform. The core platform is functional on iOS, Android and OBS, while payment and settlement validation remain in progress, so the platform is in launch validation rather than commercially available.
Why it matters
The platform bundles live broadcasting, paid access, replays and content libraries, and offers creators an 85% share, a model that competes with established streaming services. Digitalage has also identified AI-assisted text moderation as its first enterprise-licensing candidate, though no licensing agreement has been executed.
The 85% creator share is a company-stated figure, not an audited payout rate. The market projections of $1.35 trillion for the creator economy by 2033 and $416.8 billion for video streaming by 2030 are third-party estimates that describe the size of the markets the platform is entering, not its performance.
The players
Digitalage, Inc.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Hop-on, Inc. developing a live-streaming creator platform with paid replays and AI-assisted content moderation technology.
Hop-on, Inc.
A publicly traded technology company (OTCID HPNN) that is the parent of Digitalage, Inc.
The details
A creator goes live, a viewer purchases access to the broadcast, the stream becomes an available replay, and the creator's share is settled. AI-assisted text moderation, the company's first licensing candidate, works by scanning chat, comments and other user-generated text to flag harmful messages, including coded language and euphemisms that simple keyword filters tend to miss. Both functions are described by the company as technical capabilities rather than shipped commercial products at this stage.
Timeline
May 26, 2026: Digitalage filed a patent application.
October 21, 2026: Digitalage announced its launch timeline plans.
October 23, 2026: AI-assisted text moderation was announced as an enterprise-licensing candidate.
November 2, 2026: Digitalage announced completion of the core platform build.
November 2026: Expanded creator Alpha testing is targeted.
The Tech Race
Digitalage is entering a live-streaming and creator-monetization category that already has established platforms, and it is doing so on a small public-company parent rather than a large incumbent. Its positioning rests on a higher creator revenue share and on licensing its moderation technology to other businesses, a strategy that depends on the platform reaching commercial availability first.
Creators who use iOS, Android or OBS could be among the first to test the platform, with Alpha testing targeted for November 2026. Broader availability in the United States, Canada and Mexico is targeted before the end of 2026, but pricing and final payment settlement have not been announced.
The takeaway
Watch whether Digitalage completes payment and settlement validation and begins the November 2026 Alpha testing it has targeted, since those milestones will show whether the core build works in practice. Also watch for an executed enterprise licensing agreement for its AI moderation technology, which the company has not yet signed.
What happens next
Digitalage is targeting expanded creator Alpha testing in November 2026, broader Beta testing in early December 2026, and commercial availability in the United States, Canada and Mexico before December 31, 2026. These are company targets, not confirmed dates.
