This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. The fintech upgrade streamers didn't know they needed. By nota, if you're a streamer, you probably know the feeling. Your audience is active, people want to support you, and then someone asks, how can I send you something? And suddenly you're linking to third-party apps, walking them through extra steps, waiting days, sometimes weeks, for the money to arrive, and silently watching as fees chip away at the final amount. For a space as fast-paced and creative as streaming, monetization is still surprisingly clunky.

The pain points are real. Payout delays. Most platforms hold funds or schedule batch withdrawals. Platform lock-in. Many donation tools are tied to specific ecosystems. High fees. Whether it's processing or platform cuts, creators lose a chunk. Poor UX. For both streamers and fans, the process is rarely seamless. Privacy concerns. Some tools expose personal info or require extra logins. All of this makes it

harder for smaller or mid-sized streamers, especially in gaming, to actually earn in real time, even if they've built a strong and loyal following. Creators deserve better tools. The creator economy has evolved. Viewers are more willing than ever to support directly, and audiences respond to transparency and immediacy. But the infrastructure hasn't quite caught up, especially for those operating outside of major partnerships or platforms. There's clearly room for donation tools that are faster, easier, and better aligned with how people stream today, and how they build communities. Let's be honest, most donation tools for streamers still feel like clunky afterthoughts. Delayed payouts, high fees, awkward user flows

Noda, an open banking fintech, decided to do something about it. Last week, they launched Noda Prime, a platform built specifically for streamers and content creators who want to make more from donations, without the delays, extra apps, or middlemen. If you stream on Twitch, YouTube, or anywhere else, this is worth a look. So, what exactly is Nota Prime?
