Creator economy

The creator economy rewards original work. Members tip creators directly; when a member remixes someone else's work, a configurable share of the remix's revenue flows back to the original creator. The attribution graph, revenue-share rules and payout records live in the operator's deployment on the rewards-service component, and payouts settle through the community's wallet.

The module is planned. Its configuration block is part of manifest schema version 1 and is validated and planned by the SDK today, so a community can declare its intended rules now. The rewards service itself is on the roadmap.

CapabilitiesCopy Anchor Link

The reference deployment includes building blocks this module will use: an operator console for reward campaigns with budgets, platform and per-member daily caps, versioned publishing and a full audit trail. Settlement is not enabled for those campaigns.

How revenue sharing is designed to workCopy Anchor Link

Basis points express the share exactly in integers: 10,000 basis points is 100%. With originalCreatorShareBps set to 3000, a remix that earns 1,000 units routes 300 units to the original creator and 700 to the remixer, before any operator fee the operator's published rules define.

1. Attribution. When a member publishes a remix, the rewards service records an edge from the remix to the work it builds on. Attribution is recorded at publication and cannot be removed by the remixer.
2. Accrual. Revenue attributed to a remix accrues to the remixer and the original creator according to the share in force at publication.
3. Settlement. Payouts are instructed to the community's wallet service, which moves the value. The metering service records each settled payout as settled-payouts.
4. Records. Creators and the operator see payout records; amounts follow the operator's published rules.

Changing originalCreatorShareBps applies to remixes published afterwards; it does not rewrite existing attributions.
