Until Now.
Griot Chain is the world's first dual-platform digital ecosystem built to return economic power and cultural sovereignty to African people and the diaspora. Photographers earn 60–70% royalties. Communities preserve their stories as permanent blockchain records — owned by the people who lived them.
Upload your images to AfroPics and earn 60–70% royalties on every license sold. No gatekeepers. No exploitation. Your lens. Your income.
Record oral histories, family stories, cultural ceremonies on Heritage Chain. Mint them as NFTs — permanently preserved, community-owned, earning royalties forever.
License authentic, ethically-sourced African content from AfroPics while supporting creators directly. Access heritage records for documentaries, museums, and curricula.
Join the waitlist and be among the founding community when we launch.
"The griots were the memory of the people. They were the living libraries of their communities — carrying forward every story, every name, every lineage. We are building what they would have built if they had the internet."
— The Griot Chain Manifesto
