Others

• Alchemy Pay: Crypto payments and Web3 infrastructure provider supporting token/fiat rails. Comparable as enabling infrastructure for tokenized fan monetization and crypto-native commerce.

• Theta Network: Decentralized video and esports streaming infrastructure with token-based creator/fan incentives. Comparable to Fando's on-chain approach to creator monetization and audience engagement, particularly in esports.
• Livepeer: Decentralized video transcoding and streaming network with token-based creator compensation. Adjacent to Fando in providing Web3 infrastructure for video/creator monetization flows.
