Hop-on, Inc. reports developments centered on Digitalage, its live media infrastructure initiative for creators, newsrooms, and media organizations. Company updates describe stateful media architecture intended to convert livestreams into permanent, searchable and monetizable assets at creation, along with identity-verified publishing, content provenance, real-time audience engagement measurement, and creator monetization systems.
Recurring news also covers Digitalage production deployment, creator cohort activation, live broadcasting, video-on-demand and FAST distribution capabilities, newsroom tools, mobile application progress, and the company's use of owned infrastructure and patent-pending media technology in its creator-economy strategy.
Hop-on (HPNN) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Digitalage has developed a working pilot console for AI-assisted news-video production. The pilot connects source intake, editorial review, video production, quality control, cataloging and delivery. It demonstrates user-directed production, rule-based automation and a workflow requiring human approval before rendering.
The newsroom pilot runs on a local development stack, with production components still under review, testing and development. Digitalage's next phase focuses on production hardening, performance testing, production-cost assessment, customer-specific workflows, pricing and billing architecture. The company intends to demonstrate the system to prospective enterprise customers as development progresses. It is not announcing commercial revenue or a completed customer deployment from the newsroom pilot.
Hop-on (HPNN) announced DTC FAST/DWAC eligibility, adding electronic securities processing as its wholly owned subsidiary Digitalage prepares for commercial execution. Transfer agent VStock Transfer confirmed the approval on October 7, 2026. FAST/DWAC enables electronic share transfers, deposits and withdrawals through participating institutions.
Digitalage received Apple App Store approval for its iOS application, announced July 1. Its redesigned iOS build is in internal testing, while Android remains in Google Play closed testing. Genesis Creator Pilot terms give eligible creators 85% of gross subscription revenue and retain a 15% infrastructure fee for Digitalage; participants may also receive 50% of net advertising revenue, subject to program terms. Digitalage plans to complete mobile testing, advance its creator pilot and Live Pass, expand demonstrations and pursue commercial partnerships.

Hop-on (HPNN), through subsidiary Digitalage, has completed a redesigned iOS user experience and made the new build available for internal testing via Apple TestFlight following design completion on September 10, 2026.
Longtime team member Neeraj Baipureddy, who led the effort since August 11, 2026, has been appointed Lead Product Engineer and Head of iOS Design. The redesign focuses on easier content discovery and access, featuring Live Discovery with a ranked Top 10, Recently Live replays, and clear feed labels distinguishing free, pass and subscriber-only content. Additional workflows cover discovery and personalization feeds, stream previews, live creation and viewing, replay and library, creator profiles, and moderation tools. A $9.99 pass purchase workflow unlocks eligible gated content. General availability will be announced after internal testing and any platform review.
Digitalage (subsidiary of Hop-on, HPNN) appointed longtime patent-licensing executive Robert T. Braun as Chief Executive Officer, effective September 1, 2026, succeeding founder Peter Michaels.

He previously led Nokia’s patent-licensing strategy across North and South America and parts of Asia, and held licensing roles at Microsoft, Intellectual Ventures, and Discovision Associates, where he served as Vice President of Licensing and Managing Attorney.

Participating creators receive 85% of gross subscription revenue, while Digitalage retains a 15% Platform Infrastructure Fee, and creators are also eligible for 50% of net advertising revenue generated by their content, subject to program terms.
The Digitalage platform is being built as integrated media infrastructure that links creator identity, provenance and rights data, live and on-demand distribution, searchable archives, monetization, and governance in a single workflow. The company highlights a five-layer structure: identity and provenance records, live and replay distribution, searchable archives, subscription and advertising revenue participation, and governance with documented standards, human review, and appeals. Management positions this model as designed to “put creators first” within a global creator economy Goldman Sachs Research estimated at about $250 billion in 2023 and projected could approach $480 billion by 2027.

The iOS app received Apple App Store approval on June 30, 2026, supporting a soft-launch onboarding process as the company refines the experience and expands creator and partner access.

The company is targeting its first paid Live Pass transactions in August 2026, marking a shift from infrastructure build-out and testing toward commercial operations.
According to Hop-on, Live Pass is the first direct transaction model in the broader Digitalage ecosystem, which already includes live streaming, video-on-demand, creator control tools, AI transcription, and content verification. Digitalage intends an initial $9.99 price per event and to allocate 85% of defined net proceeds to participating creators, retaining 15% after taxes, app-store commissions, payment-processing fees, refunds, and other mandatory third-party costs. The platform has progressed through multiple 2026 milestones, including live infrastructure deployment on March 10, creator onboarding from April 14, launch of Digitalage.com on May 19, a U.S. patent application filing on May 26, commercial intake from June 1, expanded VOD and live intake on June 9, and Apple App Store approval for the iOS app on June 30.
