# Welcome & Overview

## Welcome to Kubi <a href="#welcome-to-kubi" id="welcome-to-kubi"></a>

Kubi is a next-generation **Web3 livestream donation platform** built on the Mantle Ecosystem that revolutionizes how content creators receive financial support from their global audience.

### What is Kubi? <a href="#what-is-kubi" id="what-is-kubi"></a>

Kubi bridges the gap between the Creator Economy and Blockchain by combining a seamless **Web2 User Experience** with the technological advantages of **Web3**: transparency, cost efficiency, and full ownership. We enable instant, flexible, and productive cross-border donations through cutting-edge DeFi integrations.

### The Problem We Solve <a href="#the-problem-we-solve" id="the-problem-we-solve"></a>

Traditional donation platforms face critical limitations:

**Web2 Platforms (Saweria, Ko-fi, Trakteer)**

* Centralized fund custody with censorship risks
* High platform fees and slow withdrawal times
* Limited to fiat currencies and local payment methods

**Conventional Web3 Platforms**

* Complex user experience requiring specific tokens
* Donated funds remain idle without generating value
* Cross-chain liquidity barriers requiring manual bridging

### Our Solution: Web2 on the Front, Web3 on the Back <a href="#our-solution-web2-on-the-front-web3-on-the-back" id="our-solution-web2-on-the-front-web3-on-the-back"></a>

Kubi operates on a revolutionary principle: users enjoy the ease of a standard donation app, while it's powered by advanced smart contracts on the Mantle network.

### ✨ Key Features

**🔓 Non-Custodial & Trustless**\
Donation funds flow directly peer-to-peer from supporter to streamer. Kubi never holds your funds.

**🪙 Multi-Token Flexibility**\
Accept donations in any token ($MNT, $PEPE, $USDT) with automatic swapping via Uniswap integration to your preferred stable asset.

**📈 Auto-Yield Generation**\
Transform donations into passive income through automatic deposits to leading Mantle DeFi protocols (Methlab, Compound, Init Capital).

**🌉 Cross-Chain Support**\
Auto-Bridge technology enables seamless donations from outside the Mantle ecosystem without manual bridging.

**📺 Realtime OBS Integration**\
Display donation notifications instantly on your livestream with our OBS overlay plugin.

**📊 Dashboard Analytics**\
Track revenue, view on-chain transaction history, and analyze supporter engagement with transparent reports.

### How Kubi Works <a href="#how-kubi-works" id="how-kubi-works"></a>

1. **Supporter** initiates a donation through Kubi's interface
2. **Smart Contract** processes the transaction automatically:
   * Deducts transparent platform fee
   * Executes Auto-Bridge (if from another chain)
   * Executes Auto-Swap via Uniswap (to streamer's preferred token)
3. **Streamer** receives net funds directly in their wallet
4. **(Optional)** Funds auto-route to DeFi protocols for yield generation

### Built on Mantle Network <a href="#built-on-mantle-network" id="built-on-mantle-network"></a>

We chose Mantle for its exceptional scalability, low transaction costs, and thriving DeFi ecosystem that makes our Auto-Yield and Auto-Swap features possible at affordable rates.
