Direct tips
Creator 95% / CULTURE 5%
Payment processing is separate. CULTURE does not currently claim zero platform fees on tips.
Creator economics
The split is published before the sale.
CULTURE's standard launch model gives creators 95% of direct tips, 88% of music sales, and 85% of PPV unlocks before payment processing.
Published launch rates
Music sales
Creator 88% / CULTURE 12%
The published model is buy-to-own music rather than a background streaming pool.
PPV unlocks
Creator 85% / CULTURE 15%
One purchase is intended to grant the buyer a durable content entitlement.
What is true today
These are the published terms CULTURE is building toward. Production creator balances, reserves, tax handling, disputes, and general payouts are not yet available during closed beta.
Checkout and creator payouts are intended to run through regulated payment partners. CULTURE does not currently operate a spendable stored-value wallet.
Rules around the number
- — Payment processing is shown separately.
- — Risk changes holds and access, not the published creator rate.
- — Paying for reach never buys secret rank.
- — Synthetic engagement creates no payment entitlement.
The current founder-written agreement is available in the Terms of Service.
