'Make Brand' Advances Community-Driven Brand Building with Blockchain
Make Brand, a decentralized crowdfunding platform operating on Solana, has introduced a blockchain-based model for communities to participate in early-stage brand creation and revenue sharing through transparent, on-chain agreements. The platform's structure provides brand creators and contributors with mechanisms for collaboration through token-based participation, smart contracts, and planned governance modules. This approach reflects the principles of blockchain transparency, fairness, and accessibility in enabling individuals to engage with emerging brands. Supporting Brands Through Decentralized Participation Make Brand allows users to contribute to brand projects using its native $BRAND token. Contributions are governed by Token DPA (Debt Payable by Assets) smart contracts, which automate participation terms and revenue-sharing structures. This model provides contributors with access to potential returns tied to a project's performance. The platform facilitates a direct connection between brand creators and supporters through on-chain processes, removing geographical and financial barriers typically found in traditional investment channels. 'Make Brand applies blockchain infrastructure to create clear, transparent structures for both creators and participants,' a spokesperson from Make Brand stated. 'Our platform is designed to align incentives through verifiable, on-chain mechanisms.' Strengthening Community Participation Make Brand is developing additional features to help creators and their communities engage more effectively. These include enhanced communication tools to support transparent feedback and regular updates, alongside opportunities for supporters to influence platform decisions through voting mechanisms. The platform also plans to introduce NFT-linked utilities tied to brand milestones and user engagement, and to create tools that facilitate the secondary trading of brand-related digital assets. Further developments will include governance functionalities that support decentralized participation within the ecosystem. Through these efforts, Make Brand encourages active involvement from its users, allowing supporters to contribute insights, feedback, and promotional efforts that help shape a brand's success. A Transparent Ecosystem for Shared Growth All participation on Make Brand is executed through smart contracts on the Solana blockchain, ensuring transparency in how contributions, revenue flows, and distributions are handled. Revenue distribution processes are automated, and contributors can receive returns in $BRAND tokens or USDC based on participation terms. Creators benefit from a built-in system that connects them with early supporters, while contributors gain structured opportunities to engage with brand growth from the outset.

Exclusive Beta 2.5 Launch Unites Limited-Edition Luxury, Philanthropy, and Community Empowerment, Pioneering a New Era of Heart-Centered Impact. 'At this unique and historic turning point in Earth and humanity's timeline, it is now more important than ever for ONE to remind and unite us all as one. We are one.' — President Reginald Trent, Co-Founder, ONE BRAND LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2025 / / -- ONE BRAND, a revolutionary force in luxury fashion and social impact, today announces an exciting fundraising campaign that invites supporters, donors, and investors to join a once-in-a-lifetime movement. Born from a decade-long vision of unity and impact, ONE BRAND is dedicated to reminding humanity of its deep connection to self, one another, and our planet—all while giving away 50% of every sales transaction to the charity of each customer's choice. A Journey Fueled by Destiny and Determination The story of ONE BRAND is as inspiring as it is transformative. In 2017, on the auspicious date of 11/11, the founders—esteemed designers and trailblazers behind the iconic family brands BRAGGS® and Cartilli® —met and forged a partnership that would forever change their lives. With vast experience in online business, financial management, and creative design, they brought together their passions and expertise to birth ONE BRAND—a labor of love built while juggling multiple 9-to-5 jobs, overcoming obstacles, and daring to dream big. '11/11 changed everything,' reflects Reginald Trent, Founder and CEO of ONE BRAND. 'Meeting my partner Ebru on November 11 was a pivotal turning point. It signaled the merging of creative forces and the alignment of our destinies to build something that goes beyond profit and self toward something more. We are here to raise humanity by raising awareness—reconnecting us to our true authentic selves, one another and our shared planet by reminding the world that we are one.' A Mission Beyond Fashion At its core, ONE BRAND is not just a clothing company; it is awareness with choice. ONE's mission is to unite, inspire, and empower. In a world where less than 2% of funding reaches minority and female-led investors, ONE BRAND boldly bypasses traditional venture capital.
