Koop

Koop is a community collaboration protocol deployed on Ethereum. Creators, collectors and communities organize around membership passes issued as NFTs; mint proceeds flow into a shared treasury that members allocate through on-chain proposals and votes. It addresses the Web2 pattern where audiences interact with creators only through likes and follows, with no share in revenue or decisions, reframing the relationship as co-ownership and joint work.

The protocol ships three tool sets: treasury management, bounty tasks and NFT-gated access. Holding the relevant NFT is required to enter a community space or claim a task, completion and payout are recorded by contracts, and voting weight is bound to the NFTs a member holds. At its public launch in August 2022 the protocol reported roughly 50 active communities, with about 850 million dollars of membership volume accumulated during the beta period. It is discussed as an on-chain collaboration protocol for the creator economy, emphasizing community self-governance and shared ownership.
