Next.js and TypeScript client web app for the CreatorPesa network. Houses the creator dashboard with video analytics, public tipping web surfaces supporting local African payment options, and live OBS browser source stream overlay alerts driven by instant on-chain settlement triggers # CreatorPesa Next.js and TypeScript client for the CreatorPesa network — direct income rails (tips, subscriptions, sponsorship escrow) for African video creators, replacing their dependence on AdSense as the only payout path. ## Overview ### Problem & Goal For African video creators, Google AdSense is often the _only_ income path — and it is a broken one: address/PIN verification can take months, the $100 payout threshold locks up earnings, USD wires are rejected or heavily fee'd by local banks, and payouts arrive weeks after the work.

Sponsors fund deals through an escrow contract that only releases payment once a deliverable is attested and a dispute window passes, and fans can subscribe to a creator's membership tiers for recurring support. Stellar is the settlement backbone: sub-cent fees mean a $0.50 tip is still worth sending, built-in anchors handle th …
