Peter Vesterbacka

PETER VESTERBACKA, globally recognized as the former "Mighty Eagle" and Chief Marketing Officer at Rovio Entertainment, was instrumental in transforming Angry Birds into the first mobile game to exceed 1 billion downloads. His proven expertise in creating viral digital products and building massive user communities will be crucial as UNITT prepares to disrupt the creator economy. Recognized by TIME Magazine as one of the world's 100 most influential people, Vesterbacka also founded impactful global communities including Mobile Monday and Slush, now one of the largest technology and startup events worldwide.

"The inefficiencies in current payment systems have led to an advertising-dominated landscape that stifles innovation," said Vesterbacka. "UNITT's micropayment system can not only reduce our reliance on intermediaries but also potentially bring over 1 billion unbanked individuals into the global digital ecosystem."

+$500 billion opportunity!

The AI sector and creator economy are currently worth over $500 billion combined, with projections exceeding $1 trillion by 2030!

Yet, both industries struggle to monetize their mass-market audiences, as most users avoid paid subscriptions, or the value is captured by big platforms in the middle.

UNITT provides AI companies and content creators with a simple, no-cost tool to earn directly from their work on a pay-per-view basis—reducing reliance on ads and subscription-driven platforms.

Tokenomics

UNITT is short for Universal Transaction Token. As the name suggests, it serves as the currency inside the UNITT ecosystem recording the value that is transferred in every transaction.

UNITT is minted as a token on the Kadena blockchain. Its total supply is limited to 8,000,000,000 tokens, or roughly as many as there are people on this Earth, and no more UNITTs can be created.
