Hop-on

What Hop-on does

Hop-on, Inc. is a Nevada public technology company (OTCID: HPNN) founded in 1993 that operates a 30-year intellectual-property heritage around standards-based patent licensing, currently anchored by an active Nokia H.264/AVC decoding patent license. The company references a historical licensing track record exceeding $100 million with Nokia, Microsoft, Samsung, Qualcomm, and Motorola under prior cellular standards-based licenses that ran 2008-2022, and reports on OTC Markets under the Alternative Reporting Standard. Its current operating focus is wholly-owned subsidiary Digitalage, Inc., a Nevada operating company building stateful, live-first media infrastructure.

Digitalage runs a live-first media platform that converts broadcast and uploaded content into permanent, verifiable, searchable, and monetizable assets at the moment of capture. Its patent-pending architecture uses SHA-256 hash verification, an append-only licensing ledger as the exclusive trigger for license generation, and atomic commitment of license and compensation records as a single write set. The platform supports live streaming, video-on-demand, and FAST distribution, with real-time AI transcription delivered through OOVE AI and multi-host collaboration workflows. Distribution is global, served through the digitalage.com web platform with iOS and Android applications submitted to the respective app stores.

The business model combines three revenue streams: a creator revenue share (the company retains 15-30% of gross subscription revenue and 50% of net ad revenue under the Genesis Creator Pilot Program), creator acquisition through pilot sign-up bonuses, and B2B infrastructure licensing of the conditional digital license engine to platforms, rights holders, libraries, newsrooms, and enterprise or public-sector integrators. Go-to-market blends product-led creator acquisition with enterprise licensing intake across six operating tracks, while maintaining an external licensing relationship with OOVE, a separate legal entity functioning as an independent rights layer. No current revenue figure is disclosed across the source material.

Revenue model

1. Subscription Revenue Share: Digitalage generates revenue through subscription-based content on its live streaming, VOD, and FAST platform. Creators receive 85% of gross subscription revenue under the Genesis Creator Pilot Program, with Digitalage retaining the remainder. Revenue is generated when subscribers access creator content.
2. Advertising Revenue Share: The platform monetizes through advertising, with creators receiving 50% of net advertising revenue. The system measures and monetizes attention at the moment it occurs, replacing traditional models driven by advertising yield and algorithmic distribution.
3. Infrastructure Licensing: Digitalage intends to license its patent-pending conditional digital licensing architecture to platforms, media companies, infrastructure operators, and enterprise or public-sector integrators seeking verified delivery and rights-controlled access capabilities. This represents a B2B technology licensing revenue stream.
