Rally is a community-run network that enables creators, artists, celebrities, communities and brands to launch their own social tokens and NFTs. Rally leverages blockchain technology to offer creator communities a new form of support that removes the need for gatekeepers. We've been helping a variety of creators and brands launch their own social tokens, which are branded cryptocurrencies that work across all platforms. These tools are creator-controlled and owned (Rally takes no fees), and allow for new monetization opportunities and fan experiences. Many of our creators are already earning tens of thousands of dollars in monthly income.
