What is your project, and what problem does it solve?

ViewFi is a Web3 platform that revolutionizes content monetization for creators by enabling them to directly sell and distribute their films, shows, and videos as NFTs. It solves the problem of restrictive streaming deals and lack of global reach, allowing content creators to retain ownership, receive fair revenue, and connect directly with global audiences without intermediaries.
