GigaStar Market is a funding portal that brings Creators and Fans together as partners. In more technical terms, GigaStar Market is an investment crowdfunding portal registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is a [member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)](https://www.finra.org/about/firms-we-regulate/funding-portals-we-regulate). GigaStar Market offers investments to everyone over 18 years of age under Title III Regulation Crowdfunding. GigaStar Market is not an investment advisor so we do not provide investment advice, make investment recommendations, endorse, or guarantee any offering on the funding portal in any way, shape, or form.  #### How does GigaStar deepen my connections with Fans? Fans can invest to join your journey, support your YouTube channel growth, unlock exclusive benefits, and share in your YouTube channel’s potential future revenue. Transformed into your army of promoters, Fans receive potential monthly revenue and enjoy special perks (assigned by you) that innovate engagement and deepen relationships. #### How does it work? Through the [GigaStar Market](https://gigastarmarket.io?hsLang=en) platform, Creators can offer the public a percentage of their YouTube channel's future revenue. During a drop, Fans can buy Channel Revenue Tokens (CRTs), which represent rights to a revenue share percentage. After the drop closes, the YouTube Creator receives the funds raised and GigaStar mints the CRTs for Fans. Fans have the rights to receive monthly YouTube revenue (distributed through smart contracts), along with special perks assigned by the YouTube Creator, such as access to exclusive virtual events, and more. After the anticipated 2024 launch of GigaStar's secondary market, whenever a Fan sells a CRT, the YouTube Creator will receive a royalty each time a CRT trades. #### What about my sponsorship revenue? You keep 100% of it! GigaStar doesn't touch it. #### How do I get immediate funds? After your drop successfully closes, funds raised are distributed to you, the issuer, to grow your channel and do what you love. Use the funds however you like: upgrade equipment, hire staff, travel to video shoot locations, launch products, run campaigns, and more!  #### How do I get potential long-term revenue? Long-term revenue is generated for you whenever a Fan sells a CRT. After the anticipated 2024 launch of GigaStar's secondary market\*, whenever a Fan sells a CRT, the YouTube Creator will receive a royalty each time a CRT trades. #### What is a Channel Revenue Token (CRT)? Channel Revenue Tokens (CRTs) represent rights to revenue share securities offered under [Regulation Crowdfunding as determined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission](https://www.sec.gov/education/smallbusiness/exemptofferings/regcrowdfunding).  Each CRT digitally represents rights to a percentage of a YouTube channel's potential future revenue. CRTs also unlock additional Creator perks for the Fans who hold them. #### How does GigaStar make it easy (and less work for me)?
