Havven to launch Feb 4; proprietary anti-piracy tech and AI-age verification to set new global standard for creator security

FREDERICK, MD, January 14, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Today, Havven, the next-gen social digital ecosystem built for the unapologetic, announced its official platform launch scheduled for February 4, 2026. Backed by the Mannx/Moonshotnx accelerator, Havven is entering the market, not as another "paywall platform," but as a high integrity sanctuary engineered specifically for the alternative, LGBTQ+, and kink communities currently marginalized by mainstream technology.

For years, adult creators and alternative communities have been treated as a "liability" by legacy social media, subjected to shadowbans, arbitrary censorship, and predatory algorithms. Havven is built on a different premise: What makes you different makes you the main event.

Havven arrives with a proprietary "Safety by Design" architecture that solves the industry's two biggest crises: privacy and piracy. By leveraging cutting edge AI in combination with proof of identity, Havven implements a frictionless, privacy preserving age verification system that ensures 100% regulatory compliance without ever compromising sensitive user data. 

This commitment to security is further fortified by our industry-first Anti-Piracy Fortress, a suite of proprietary screenshot and screen-recording deterrence technologies designed to actively prevent the "leakage" that currently costs creators millions in lost revenue annually. 

Together, these innovations move beyond simple moderation to create a high-integrity ecosystem where creator identity and digital assets are shielded by a true technical moat, ensuring that safety is the platform's standard, not an afterthought.

Alongside these safety measures, Havven will also employ a combination of both AI-driven and human moderators in an effort to uphold the standards the platform has set for itself. Images depicting anyone under the age of 18 will be strictly banned with no appeals, as well as any content that focuses on violence. The goal is safety for everyone on and off the platform.

In addition to fostering a truly inclusive community, Havven is disrupting the standard 80/20 revenue model by offering an industry leading 83/17 split, putting more capital directly into the hands of creators. 

Following the social platform launch on February 4, 2026, the ecosystem will expand in March with the debut of the Havven Marketplace. A unified commerce engine allowing creators to sell physical goods, digital assets, and professional services in one seamless environment. Doing so makes Havven the first safe privacy centered platform to offer creators a place to sell, consumers a place to buy, and everyone in the alternative and fringe communities a place to connect.

"Traditional social media wasn't built for us; we were the punchline, the risk, and the glitch," says Derek Hanjora, Havven CEO. "Havven is the escape from the traditional. We’ve built a fortress where identity isn't a data point to be sold, but a soul to be celebrated. With the support of Moonshotnx, we are proving that you can build a venture scale business that prioritizes human safety and radical inclusion over predatory algorithms."

Havven invites creators, dreamers, and seekers to stop trying to fit into a frame that wasn't built for them and join the revolution of authenticity.

Registration for the launch is now open and can be accessed at Havven.me.
