Creator Earnings
also: earnings on Wall, creator income, monetization on Wall
Creator monetization on Wall spans five distinct rails:
1. **TON tips** — wallet-to-wallet, 0% Wall fee. Immediate, non-custodial. Available to every creator with a connected TON wallet. 2. **TON post donations** — same mechanic on individual posts. Readers pick the amount; creator receives wallet-to-wallet. 3. **Paid posts** — Stars paywall on individual posts. Creator-set price. Premium tier required to publish (290★/mo); reading is free for anyone with the unlock fee. 4. **Gifts in Stars** — 8 tiers from Heart (5★) to Trophy (500★). Visible permanently on recipient profile. 5. **Referral bonuses** — 10% T1 to 30% T5 of referred users' Stars/TON gross. T1 automatic; T4-T5 manual review.
Every dashboard balance is visible at all times in /creator. TON-rail flows arrive in your wallet immediately (no withdrawal step). Stars-rail flows accumulate during open beta — withdrawals unlock at 2026 Q2 target.
For live earnings projections by usage shape, /pricing/calculator has working math with auditable formulas. Reference points: casual creator ≈ $24/mo, active creator ≈ $60/mo, power creator with paid posts ≈ $300+/mo.

Common questions
Can free-tier creators earn on Wall?
Yes. Free creators receive TON tips, TON donations, gifts in Stars, and referral commissions. The only stream gated to Premium / Ultra is paid-post creation (publishing a post behind a Stars paywall). Reading paid posts is free for anyone.
Why are Stars-rail withdrawals paused?
Open beta. The pause is operational — to harden the withdrawal flow and complete payment-provider compliance. Earnings accumulate in the dashboard balance and unlock at 2026 Q2 target. The accumulating amount is final; the pause is a delay, not a haircut.
How do I see my live earnings?
In the Wall app, open Profile → Creator dashboard. Per-stream balance shown for each rail (TON wallet balance for TON streams; Stars accumulator for Stars streams; referral commission balance separately).
