Additional Monetization Layer
Content loses value after publication, and NFT collections often remain unused. ZarGates adds a gaming layer: it turns followers into active players, and adds new value to NFTs by allowing them to be used to create custom games and game characters. Farming and minting are optional layers on top of that — every game is designed to be playable and monetizable on its own, and our September commercial test is built to confirm that. We are targeting a market of 45M+ professional/semi-professional AI creators (see market assessment above) — a segment where game monetization does not yet exist.

Creator Market Size
207M people worldwide make up the global creator market. The creator economy is valued at $234B in 2026 and is projected to exceed $528B by 2030. Sources: Statista / Goldman Sachs / Grand View Research.
50M professional & semi-professional creators × 91% use generative AI ≈ 45M people. Sources: Goldman Sachs Research / SignalFire Market Map (via SQ Magazine, SaaS Ultra) / inBeat Agency (AI adoption rate).
Bottom-up model based on our own traction: under a conservative monthly growth scenario of 10–15% (following normalization of the current growth rate), the platform is expected to reach 15,000–40,000 active creators, representing 0.03–0.09% of SAM. The final estimate will be refined after analyzing the interest → activation → retention funnel.
