Smart contract products, Web3 tools, and a contributor economy under one platform.
Website · Project Whitepaper · License
CFT.live is a Web3 platform for hosting smart contract products and related tools through a single public-facing service layer.
Instead of treating smart contracts as isolated deployments, CFT.live wraps them in a broader product system: frontend access, operational services, contributor workflows, and transparent reward distribution. The project is built around a simple idea: platform usage creates value, and contributors who help build the platform should be able to share in that value through CFT rewards and USDC redemption.

| Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| client/ | Public web application and contributor-facing product experience |
| backend/ | Operational APIs and data workflows for platform management |
| workers/ | Supporting services for automation, scheduling, and live platform utilities |
| smartcontracts/ | On-chain protocol and token systems, plus contract-specific documentation |
Users interact with CFT.live through the website and app surfaces that make the platform's smart contract tools accessible.
Supporting backend services and workers handle the platform logic around coordination, background tasks, and product usability.
Smart contracts handle on-chain execution, contributor token distribution, and redemption flows on Arbitrum.
Work is organized into Features, Tasks, and Contributions. Approved work earns CFT rewards, and the broader platform model is designed so contributors can later convert earned CFT into USDC.
The project is built around a contribution economy rather than a closed development model.
- contributors help ship platform improvements
- approved work earns CFT rewards
- platform revenue is intended to strengthen the backing behind CFT redemption
- contributors can redeem CFT for USDC through the broader token system
This is the core platform loop described in the project whitepaper: users create platform activity, activity creates value, and contributors share in that upside.
If you are new to the repository, these are the best starting points:
- Read the high-level platform story in WHITEPAPER.md
- Open the frontend in client/
- Review contributor workflow concepts in client/app/features/contribute/v1/README.md
- Review the token and redemption model in smartcontracts/cft-token/WHITEPAPER.md
- Browse the contract-specific whitepapers in smartcontracts/
This is a monorepo with separate app, backend, worker, and contract packages. Most work starts by moving into the relevant directory and running its local install and dev commands.
For the web app:
cd client
pnpm install
pnpm devEnvironment values are loaded from the root .env file. Use .env.example as the starting point, and do not commit secret material.
