“OVERDARE, Inc. seeks to revolutionize IP and income management for creators by implementing Circle's Programmable Wallets for IP trading and USDC revenue payouts. This solution is designed to ease the transition of creators from traditional Web2 platforms into Web3,” the statement read.

As a further boost to the creator economy, the partnership will integrate USDC with Overdare as an alternate means for creators to generate revenue and settle transactions near-instantly.  

“This enables creators worldwide to benefit from reduced settlement fees and the convenience of near-instant 24/7 payment processing, empowering them to access earnings on demand,” Overdare wrote.

Circle CEO and co-founder Jeremy Allaire lauded the partnership, noting that it placed the company at the forefront of empowering the creator economy globally, “ultimately fostering an innovative Web3 environment for all.”

The Overdare platform is set to be launched in the second half of the year.
