## Decentralized video chat protocol with monetization functionality

Umay connects service providers with consumers, enabling skill-based service delivery through video calls. Providers with marketable skills — from therapists and fitness trainers to language experts, tech support specialists, traders, and NSFW content creators — can earn based on call duration and set rates, expanding their market reach.

As a protocol, Umay adopts a domain-based approach, allowing communities to have their own isolated domains. Umay also empowers existing communities to easily integrate video calling functionality into their platforms.
