Why I built a Web3 alternative to Gumroad on Base Chain (Say goodbye to 10% fees)

Let’s be real: selling digital products as a Web2 dev is broken.

Stripe can shut you down overnight.
PayPal freezes your money for weeks.
Platforms like Gumroad take 10% on every sale.

You do the work… they take the cut.

And even worse?
You don’t control your own business.

High fees, delayed payouts (up to 7 days), and the constant risk of getting banned for no reason.

So I stopped complaining—and built a fix.

Crypto-Fi.co is a non-custodial checkout layer on Base (L2) that lets you sell digital products in 1 click.

→ 5% fees
→ Instant payouts to your wallet
→ No code needed
→ No middlemen

The moment someone clicks “Buy”… you get paid. Instantly.

Under the hood, everything runs on optimized smart contracts on Base: low fees, high speed.

From “Buy” to “Success” takes less than 5 seconds.

No friction. No waiting. No BS.

Just a clean, fast, Web3-native checkout.

If you’re tired of giving away 10% of your revenue, this is for you:
