patronite

Patronite may refer to more than one topic, including a Brazilian crowdfunding platform and a mineral.

Patronite is a Brazilian digital platform that enables creators to receive recurring financial support from patrons. Supporters subscribe to creators or projects, typically paying monthly. Creators can set pledge tiers, post updates, and access audience analytics. The platform handles payment processing and distribution of funds to creators, charging a fee on each transaction. Patronite is part of the broader trend toward creator economies and patronage models in Portuguese-speaking communities and Latin America, and it offers localized language and payment options to users.

Patronite is also the name of a rare copper-containing sulfarsenide mineral. It is described in mineralogical literature and occurs in hydrothermal ore deposits. As a mineral species, patronite is of interest to researchers and collectors for its crystallography and geological context.
