We're excited to announce that ATProtoFans is now live and open for everyone to try.

What Is ATProtoFans?

ATProtoFans is a simple way to support creators and have the proof you did it.

Here's how it works: you find a creator you want to back, make a one-time payment, and both of you get a permanent record of that support. That's it.

Why We Built This

When you support someone online, that relationship often exists only in a platform's database. If that platform shuts down, there's no trace you ever backed them.

We wanted something different where your support actually means something and lasts.

With ATProtoFans, when you support a creator, you both get a record that proves it happened. Think of it like a digital badge that says "I backed this person" except it's yours forever, not locked away under someone else's control.

What Makes It Different

Your support belongs to you. The record of who you've supported lives in your own account, not ours. If ATProtoFans ever goes away, your supporter history doesn't disappear with it.

Creators own their audience. When someone supports a creator on ATProtoFans, that creator sees exactly who backed them—by name, not as an anonymous transaction. And that list of supporters belongs to them, not us.

It's simple. Pick an amount, support someone, and you're done.

For Supporters

When you support a creator on ATProtoFans, you get real proof. It's something you can point to and say, "I was there. I backed them." And because the record lives in your account, it travels with you wherever you go online.

For Creators

Setting up is straightforward. Log in, fill out your profile, complete a few setup steps, and you're ready to receive support. You'll see exactly who your supporters are, real people with real profiles, not just dollar amounts in a dashboard.

Your supporter list is yours. Export it, use it however you want, take it to another service. We're not the gatekeeper, you are.

ATProtoFans is currently in technical preview, which means everything works, but we're still refining the experience and listening to feedback.
