Royalty.io lets you sell a small piece of your future YouTube ad revenue in exchange for upfront cash. You choose how much to share and for how long, and those earnings are turned into digital tokens that others can buy. You get funds now — they get a share of your success over time. It’s YouTube creator funding — fanvestment, if you will.. Grow your brand and business without giving up control or doing extra work.

Fanvestment is a creator-friendly funding model where your audience backs your future, not your past. You set a small percentage of tomorrow’s YouTube ad revenue and a time frame; Royalty.io mints that into tokens fans can buy. You receive capital upfront, while fans share in your success through automated monthly payouts tied to real YouTube ad revenue.

Royalty.io uses blockchain tech but the value is real. No NFTs, no speculative hype, your YouTube ad revenue turned into upfront funding. Tokens simply represent a share of your future payouts, and smart contracts handle distribution automatically. If you strip away the tech buzzword, it’s a straightforward way for creators to raise money without loans, banks, and giving up channel ownership.

Those models ask you to give more – perks, promos, content. Royalty.io doesn’t. You sell a portion of future earnings and get paid now. No ongoing rewards to manage, no sponsors to please, no uploads to schedule. It’s passive for you, and performance-based for investors ,a true alternative to Patreon

It’s ideal for mid-size and growing YouTubers — channels with stable ad revenue but limited access to funding. If you’re making money but want to scale, this is your option for growing a YouTube channel faster. Big creators can use it too, to grow their communities and to support others. Beginners without monetization? Probably not yet. Think of it as fanvestment: your fans fund your next leap by purchasing tokens, and you keep full ownership while they share in the upside.

Yes. Everything’s tracked on-chain — how many tokens are created, sold and held, for how long, and how much they’ve earned. You also get access to dashboards that show performance, payouts, and token activity. You’ll always know exactly what’s happening with your revenue.

You’re converting a portion of your upcoming YouTube ad revenue into digital tokens created on Polygon blockchain. Buyers get a right to a share of that revenue. You get a lump sum upfront. Royalty.io is a tokenization platform for your future earnings. It’s like offering a revenue split deal to multiple supporters in exchange for funding.

You choose. Most creators tokenize between 10–40% of their ad revenue for 12 to 36 months. You set the percentage and the period you’re comfortable with. It’s flexible YouTube revenue sharing.

Yes. It’s up to you. The higher the share, the more you can raise, but also the more you’ll owe over time as revenue share payouts.

Payouts are based on your actual YouTube ad revenue. If earnings drop but you're still posting regularly and doing the work, there’s no penalty, no debt. Token holders simply earn less, and that’s part of the investment risk. It’s a balance that respects YouTube Ad Revenue realities. However, if you choose to raise funds at a higher valuation (meaning you expect higher future revenue) you’ll be asked to commit to a Target Revenue figure. In that case, if you fall short, Royalty.io may extend the token revenue-sharing period for a few extra months to make up the difference. It’s our way of balancing flexibility for creators with fairness to investors.

Yes, but only the agreed percentage. You still keep the majority of your earnings, and growth means more success for everyone across your YouTube revenue streams

Smart contracts calculate revenue share minute-by-minute. Every token holder gets paid based on how many tokens they hold and how long they hold them, transparently and fully automated via a revenue sharing platform

No. Once tokens are sold, the contract is locked for that term. It ensures fairness for both sides, as with most tokenized investments

Royalty.io deploys and manages the smart contracts, but they’re designed to be transparent and automated. You don’t need to manage them directly — it’s a Web3 creator platform experience without the hassle.

Yes, that’s the whole idea behind the platform. Your fans can back you up, buying your tokens. They get a real stake in your channel’s future earnings, and this makes them care even more about your growth because it benefits them too, literally. Royalty.io is a simple way to invest in creators like you.

It turns fans into teammates. Instead of just watching, they’ve got a stake in your success. That means more comments, shares, and hype, because every bit of growth benefits them too. That’s a real creator economy innovation in action.

Yes. Anyone can back you: fans, friends, or fellow creators. And when creators invest, they don’t just sit back. They’ve got skin in the game, so they’re more likely to cheer you on, collab, and help push your content. It’s support, promotion, and funding rolled into one.

None beyond what you agreed to: sharing the set % of your future YouTube ad revenue. You don’t owe shoutouts, perks, or exclusive access to anything.

That said, many creators choose to do more because it builds loyalty and connections. Royalty.io gives you multiple options for this, including: targeted AMA sessions, private Discord channels, giveaways or raffles for token holders, fan leaderboards and custom perks (coming soon).

You’re in control. We just make it easy to turn your investors into superfans.

Potentially, yes. When other creators invest in you, they’re not just holding the tokens, they’ve got skin in your success. This makes collabs easier and more natural because helping you grow helps them too — it’s a byproduct of creator financing incentives. And since token drops are visible on our marketplace, it’s easier for creators to spot each other and team up.

Yes. Rising creators with strong engagement are more likely to be featured and promoted to investors across our digital asset marketplace.

Once you tokenize your ad revenue, we’re part of the game too. A fraction of platform fees goes back into promotions: paid ads, content boosts, and collabs inside our extensive network.

On top of that, we’ve got our Ambassador Program rolling out soon: top voices from the creator economy and crypto space picking the drops they actually believe in and promoting them. It’s designed to amplify promising drops within the creator economy investment ecosystem.

Bottom line: if your content hits, we’ll help the right people see it.

You can use the funds however you like. There are no restrictions, though it’s in your interest to grow your channel to keep earning.

Funds are available as soon as your tokens start selling, you don’t have to wait until the entire offering is complete. Each purchase is settled instantly into your Royalty.io account.

You can then withdraw your funds anytime through our trusted FinTech solutions provider MilX, using a variety of methods including fiat and crypto. The process is designed for clean handling of YouTube channel ad revenue.

Yes, but it’s lower than most platforms. Royalty.io takes only 5%, which is roughly half the fee charged by similar services.

And importantly, we don’t take that fee in cash. We only take a small portion of the token allocation. For example, if you mint 1,000 tokens, Royalty.io receives 50 of them. These tokens are used to cover gas fees, platform maintenance, and, when possible, reinvested into marketing your drop.

It’s a performance-aligned model: we only benefit when your tokens have real value and visibility.

Once you join Royalty.io, you’ll connect your YouTube channel and sign a simple agreement that allows us to track and manage your ad revenue for full transparency.

Only the tokenized portion of your revenue is routed through Royalty.io — this is what gets automatically distributed to your token holders. The remaining revenue stays in your account on the platform and is yours to withdraw at any time, using your preferred payout method.

In short: we manage what needs to be shared, and you keep full control over the rest.

Payouts are calculated continuously and distributed monthly. You don’t have to do anything. It’s automatic — a set-and-forget YouTube passive income flow for holders.

$RC is a smart-contract-based stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to USD, and used inside the Royalty.io ecosystem to simplify revenue tracking and automated distribution.

When Royalty.io distributes ad revenue or when investors deposit funds, the system automatically mints the equivalent amount of $RC in a smart contract. Your balance is displayed in USD though, so it's clear and easy to follow.

You don\’t need to manage or handle $RC directly, it’s just the underlying mechanism that powers payouts. You can instantly withdraw your balance as either fiat or USDT, depending on your preference.

You can withdraw your earnings in either fiat or crypto, whatever you prefer. Royalty.io supports multiple withdrawal options through our FinTech partner MilX.

No. You keep 100% ownership. You’re only sharing a slice of revenue for a set time.

Yes, but only when you’re ready to officially launch your token sale. There’s a straightforward agreement outlining your revenue terms, which you’ll review and sign before the sale goes live.

Before that, you can take advantage of our Presale option — a low-commitment path to test the waters, common in digital asset investment setups. We’ll post your drop on the marketplace to measure real interest — if fans and investors show demand, you’ll have performance data to help you decide whether to move forward.

That said, if your tokens gain traction in Presale and you choose to back out, it may disappoint early supporters. So while there’s no obligation, we encourage creators to enter Presale with genuine intent.

When you tokenize your revenue, you're entering a contract that includes certain obligations. Mainly, that you’ll continue posting on YouTube at the same or higher frequency, maintain your niche, and not shift your content to another platform during the token period.

If you stop uploading, change your niche drastically, or intentionally move away from YouTube, Royalty.io reserves the right to step in and take appropriate measures to protect investors, including extending the revenue-sharing period or pursuing other repayment options.

It's never about punishing creators — it's about keeping the system fair for everyone involved

No. You’re not selling your channel, content, or violating any policies. It’s your revenue, and you’re choosing to share part of it.

It depends. If your MCN collects your ad revenue, Royalty.io may need to coordinate with them. Sponsors are usually unaffected. Your YouTube creator income remains yours outside the tokenized slice.

It’s simple. You can try our Revenue calculator, then fill out a form, link your YouTube channel, choose terms, and go through a short review process.

No, and that’s by design.

Royalty.io was intentionally built to be creator-friendly, even for those with zero crypto experience. You don’t need to set up your own wallet, manage seed phrases, or worry about gas fees. We handle all of that for you behind the scenes — from securing your wallet to maintaining the smart contracts and covering blockchain transaction costs.

You focus on your content. We handle the Web3 complexity.

Yes. Every token launched has its own dedicated page with real-time performance metrics. You can see the current token price, buy/sell activity, number of holders, total payouts made, and other relevant data, all updated live.

It’s built to give you full transparency into how your drop is performing and how investors are engaging with it.

Yes. It’s all available in your creator portal.

You can use your existing accounts. Royalty.io is integrated with MilX, a FinTech solutions provider supporting a variety of withdrawal options, including bank accounts and crypto wallets. You don’t need to create anything new unless you want to.

We’ve built the system to work with the tools you already use — so payouts are as smooth as possible.

No, especially if you explain it as a way for fans to be part of your journey. You’re not selling your soul, just offering a chance to grow together.

Be honest. Say: “I’m offering a way for people who believe in this channel to grow with it. You can share in the success while helping make it happen.” It’s a simple pitch to invest in creative projects you love.

Not really. There’s no public leaderboard of failures. Your fans choose whether to invest, and there’s no shame in trying new funding models.

Yes. Royalty.io provides case studies, examples, and guidance so you know what to expect.

Smart contracts are designed to run independently, so token payouts can still be processed. But of course, every platform carries some risk

Yes. Only verified metrics are used to calculate payouts, and the platform uses encryption and secure access for all accounts.

You authorize access through Google. Royalty only pulls data needed for revenue tracking.

Yes. Up until launch, you can cancel or adjust your offer — that’s the flexibility of tokenized digital assets prior to going live. Once tokens are minted (created on blockchain), the contract is live.
