TAPP Streaming unveiled its revolutionary platform at the 78th Cannes Film Festival and Market, delivering a bold message: independent filmmakers are reclaiming their power in the $800 billion streaming industry. In a landscape dominated by subscription giants, ad-driven platforms, and transactional services, TAPP’s creator-first model is a beacon for storytellers seeking control and connection with their audiences.

TAPP Streaming is the first commercial use case built entirely on the ADOT Web. Created from 8 years of deeptech R&D, it is new addition to the World Wide Web that enables P2P verification and transfer of ledgerless, file based assets between software systems without intermediaries.

After a year of collaboration with filmmakers, studios, and technology innovators, TAPP Streaming crafted a direct-to-consumer solution that puts independent producers at the helm. Filmmakers can manage their content, pricing, revenue, viewer relationships, and data—slashing costs and delivery time by over 90%. With a single click, a video title transforms into an autonomous digital business, embeddable on any website or app, by simply uploading the video, metadata, pricing, and payout preferences. This streamlined process empowers creators to bypass traditional gatekeepers, making filmmaking more accessible and sustainable.

TAPP’s innovation extends past payments to micro-transactions of any asset. . Cast and crew—from lead actors to lighting technicians—receive instant, equitable payouts, eliminating intermediaries and delays that often plague the industry. For viewers, TAPP offers a frictionless pay-as-you-go experience, requiring no subscriptions or logins. A standout feature? The ability to instantly share or transfer purchased titles with friends and family, creating a community-driven viewing experience that feels personal and flexible.

The platform debuted on TrucePlus at Cannes Film Market, showcasing dozens of titles with a vision to scale to over 100 by June 2025 and 1,000 by fall 2025. Early adopters are already making waves, including Truce Studios with The Flamingo Effect and Malediction, Canadian Patriot Review with The Hidden Hand: Episode 4, and Adventure Sports TV with Lamprob. The lineup also features contributions from world-renowned biker and stuntman Robbie “Maddo” Maddison, known for jaw-dropping feats like surfing waves on a dirt bike in Tahiti, as well as MSHN Music and Equal Edge Entertainment.

CEO Hassan Khan celebrated these partners, stating, “We’re honoured to collaborate with visionary film makers whose stories redefine entertainment through TAPP’s creator-first model.”

Cannes 2025 proved to be a hotspot for innovative storytelling, with TAPP Streaming aligning with other groundbreaking projects. As reported by Variety on May 12, 2025, the Truce platform—closely related to TAPP’s TrucePlus—launched at Cannes with 100 titles, including Rez Comedy and Midnight Snack with Julie Chan, led by filmmaker Quentin Lee and featuring Mortal Kombat II star Ludi Lin as both actor and producer in the sci-fi thriller The Unlucky. This synergy underscores TAPP’s role in amplifying diverse voices in the creator economy.

TAPP Streaming’s launch comes at a pivotal moment for indie filmmaking. As streaming platforms consolidate power, creators are seeking alternatives that prioritize their vision and financial independence. TAPP’s use of cutting-edge micropayment technology ensures that every contributor, from directors to crew, benefits directly from their work’s success. The platform’s scalability and ease of use make it a game-changer for both emerging and established filmmakers.
