Introduction
OmniFlix Network serves as a peer-to-peer platform tailored for creators and communities. Its primary objective is to enable these groups to create, manage, and distribute their intellectual property, with an initial emphasis on media assets. The network leverages the web3 stack to distribute assets and foster community engagement, all underpinned by sovereign infrastructure.
