LYKSTAGE, the creator-first video platform live across the UAE, US, UK, Canada, and India, has been granted U.S. Patent No. 12,684,189 for a watch-time model that rewards both creators and viewers from the value their attention creates.

For most of the last decade, the conversation about online video was dominated by a handful of giants. Upload, hope the algorithm notices you, repeat. But as creators mature, the questions they ask have changed.

New York-based media entrepreneur Adris Chakraborty is shaping the next frontier of digital content with his latest venture, Lykstage – a platform designed to reward both creators and viewers while transforming how content is shared and monetised. As co-founder of Mediamorphosis Advertising & Technology Inc. and a board member of TiE New York, Chakraborty brings over two decades of experience in advertising, media, and entrepreneurship.

LYKSTAGE has officially launched its patented video-sharing platform, introducing a first-of-its-kind watch-time monetization model that allows both creators and viewers to earn from content engagement.
