Storing and Distributing CapCut Video Templates Using Polygon Blockchain

1

Hi everyone,

I run a website that provides CapCut templates for video editing, and I’m exploring ways to leverage blockchain technology—specifically Polygon—for secure storage, distribution, and monetization of these templates. However, I’m facing a few challenges:

Problems I’m Facing:

  1. Decentralized Storage for CapCut Templates
  • CapCut templates are typically JSON-based files with associated media assets (videos, images, audio). What’s the best way to store these on-chain or in a decentralized manner using Polygon’s ecosystem (e.g., IPFS, Arweave)?
  1. Token-Gated Access to Premium Templates
  • I’d like to implement a system where users must hold a specific NFT or ERC-20 token to access premium CapCut templates. What’s the best approach to verify wallet ownership and grant access through a Polygon smart contract?
  1. On-Chain Licensing & Copyright Protection
  • Is there a Polygon-based solution that allows me to track ownership and prevent unauthorized distribution of premium CapCut templates? Since CapCut is widely used for creative video editing, ensuring that paid templates remain exclusive to legitimate buyers while keeping access seamless is crucial for content creators and sellers. Also, for those looking for an advanced editing experience, you might want to check out the capcut pro APK download for additional features. Any recommendations on implementing this securely?
  1. Gas Fees & Scalability Concerns
  • Since many users will be accessing and potentially uploading their own templates, how can I minimize gas fees when recording template ownership transactions on the Polygon blockchain? Woould Layer 2 solutions or batching transactions be a viable approach?

What I’ve Tried:

  • Experimented with NFT storage using IPFS, but retrieval times can be slow for larger template assets.
  • Looked into using smart contracts for access control, but not sure how best to implement token-gated access for non-crypto-savvy users.
  • Explored Polygon PoS for managing ownership records but want to ensure a smooth user experience.

Has anyone worked on something similar or have insights into the best tools/approaches within the Polygon ecosystem? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ben - some ideas:

  1. Decentralized Storage for CapCut Templates: You can use pinata.cloud to store CapCut template files (JSON and assets) so that heavy assets can remain off-chain while storing their content hashes on Polygon. Pinata is good because of the pinning, making retrieval much quicker.

  2. Token-Gated Access to Premium Templates: For token gate you can check out unlock-protocol.com - they are on Polygon. Unlock is a protocol for creating onchain memberships and subscriptions as NFTs

  3. On-Chain Licensing & Copyright Protection: Maybe for this one you can issue premium CapCut NFTs. With OpenZeppelin SC templates you can embed metadata easily, such as ownership records…

  4. Gas Fees & Scalability Concerns: Polygon is already quite low when it comes to gas fees, and batching TX is definitely a good approach. Also solutions like gelato.network are interesting because they improve the UX quite a bit.

Cheers
