The Residual System
Where value circulates forever.
Everyone who helps create earns forever.
The Philosophy
Value should flow to everyone who helped create it. If you contributed code, design, ideas, or testing to a product, you deserve ongoing payment—not just a one-time fee.
And creators who choose to share their success with the community through the Covenant Pool ensure dignity for all.
How the Value Flows
Two Pools, One Sanctuary
Residual Pool
Source: 0-50% of the platform fee (creator chooses per product)
Purpose: Reward contributors who helped create the product
Distribution: Split according to contribution percentages set by creator
Covenant Pool
Source: 0-50% of creator earnings (voluntary, set in profile)
Purpose: Support community dignity fund for all active members
Distribution: Equal share to all active community members
