Creator Incentive Rules
Effective date: 3rd September 2025
Last Updated date: 3rd September 2025
Eligibility
At this stage, participation in the YouWare Creator Incentive Program is restricted to Founding Creators who demonstrate the ability to produce high-quality, original, and creative projects. Eligibility criteria may be revised at YouWare's discretion, and the Program may be extended to additional creators as the community develops.
Incentive Calculation
General Principle
Creators are entitled to receive one-time cash incentives from the Platform based on data reflecting the use and engagement of their projects by other community members.
Calculation of Incentives
At present, incentives are calculated according to the total number of credits consumed by other users on a creator's projects. Specifically, the total credits consumed by other users will be reduced by the Platform's operating costs. Fifty percent (50%) of the remaining amount will then be converted into cash incentives at a rate of 100 credits = USD $1.
Creators may view their accumulated incentive amounts at any time via My Projects - Creator Studio - Monetization. Once the withdrawal threshold has been met, a withdrawal request may be submitted.
Definitions
Credits Spent
When other users consume credits to access a creator's project (for example, by invoking AI models), such credits are counted toward the creator's earnings. Additional methods of credit consumption may be introduced in the future.
Platform Costs
Platform costs consist of expenses incurred by the Platform, including but not limited to API usage fees and operational expenses.
Revenue Share Percentage
After deduction of Platform costs, the remaining credits are shared between the Platform and the creator. At present, creators are entitled to receive fifty percent (50%) of such remaining amount.
Accrual of Earnings
Incentive earnings are credited daily. By 03:00 UTC+0, the previous day's incentive totals for all projects will be reflected in the Monetization dashboard. All records are transparent and visible to the creator.
Withdrawals
When a creator's accumulated incentive balance reaches the withdrawal threshold (currently USD $50), the creator may submit a withdrawal request. Payouts will be made exclusively through PayPal.
Requests submitted on or before the 8th of each month will be processed for payment by the 15th of the same month.
Requests submitted after the 8th will be processed in the following month.
The PayPal account provided must be accurate, valid, and able to receive payments.
Example
If a project generates 10,000 credits in total usage:
Platform costs: 8,000 credits (calculated based on usage * unit cost)
Remaining: 2,000 credits
Creator's share: 50% = 1,000 credits = USD $10
