Dev Protocol is creator-funding middleware running on Ethereum since 2018 that mints creative assets such as open-source repositories and video channels into Property tokens. Supporters stake DEV, the protocol mints new tokens at the current annual rate, and creators and stakers split the issuance, producing recurring funding that does not consume principal, with claim rules fixed in contracts rather than left to platform discretion.
Stakers receive sTokens as ERC-721 records of amount and lock period that can be transferred, while the Khaos oracle verifies off-chain ownership through GitHub commit history or social accounts without persisting access credentials. The Stakes Social application provides project registration, staking and reward withdrawal, and Clubs lets creators assemble community spaces with voting, token gating and payments through composable plugins.
