On Plumaden, anyone can charge for their work. There's no separate "creator" sign-up to apply for — you become seller-ready the moment you add a payout address. Buyers pay from their own wallets and the money settles to yours; the platform keeps a 10.0% fee and you keep the rest.
1. Add a payout address
This is the one required step before you can publish anything paid. In Payout settings:
- Enter your Algorand address — the 58-character address from your wallet (e.g. Pera or Defly). This is where your earnings land, so paste it carefully; payments to a mistyped address can't be recovered.
- Choose which currencies you accept. You can take ALGO plus any of the supported assets below.
Heads up: Plumaden won't let you publish (or schedule) a premium post until a payout address is set — so it never strands a sale with nowhere to pay.
2. Publish a post
Write your post in the editor and hit publish. Free posts need nothing more than this. You can always start free and turn on premium later.
3. Make it premium and set a price
Toggle the post to premium and pick how you want to price it:
- Fixed price. Set an exact amount in one or more currencies. Buyers pick which currency to pay in.
- USD price. Set a single price in US dollars and we convert it to each currency at checkout using live rates, so what you charge tracks the dollar even as crypto prices move.
The currencies you can price in and get paid in:
- ALGO — Algorand
- USDC — USD Coin RECOMMENDED
USDC is the simplest for most buyers and creators — it's pegged to the US dollar, so the amount doesn't swing with the market.
4. (Optional) Split revenue with a tribe
Publishing with others? A tribe can take subscriptions and split the revenue across members by percentage, with the remainder going to the tribe owner. Each member needs their own payout address for their share to pay out.
How payouts work
When someone buys, the payment moves through the same lifecycle every sale does — pending → paid → settled:
- The buyer pays from their wallet and we detect it on-chain; the post unlocks for them right away.
- Settlement then pays you out: the 10.0% platform fee comes out of the sale and the rest is sent to your payout address.
Track sales, earnings by currency, and conversion in your creator analytics. Curious how the 10.0% compares to other platforms? See the fee calculator.
What you'll need
- An Algorand wallet to receive payouts (you only need the address — your funds stay in your own wallet).
- A payout address saved in Payout settings.
