Information about how payments are calculated and collected.

How Payments are Calculated

We use a combination of CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) and CPC (Cost-per-click) to determine how much creators are paid. Impressions are based on concurrent viewers (CCV) and recorded every minute. Clicks (conversions) are counted any time someone clicks and follows through to the campaign offering. The amount of conversions for every 1000 impressions is called the Engagement Score, this is how we measure how effective a creator is during a certain campaign.

Each campaign has a base rate, but there are a variety of other factors that influence the final CPM rate including but not limited to: campaign fit, engagement, audience location, streaming platform, content genre, language, stream duration, schedule consistency, and more. By taking all of these factors into consideration we can calculate the most fair rate for both the creator and brand.

$$\text{Pay} = \frac{\text{ViewMinutes}}{1000} \times \text{Campaign Base Rate} \times \text{Creator Rate}$$

Example:

Two streamers are participating in a campaign with a base CPM rate of $1. Both stream for 5 hours.

Streamer 1: Has 250 average CCV. 5 Hours (300 minutes) * 250 = 75,000 ViewMinutes 75,000/1000 = 750 CPM Units. 750*$1 = $750 Payout

$$\frac{\text{300} \times \text{250}}{1000} \times \text{1} \times \text{1} = \mathbf{750}$$

Streamer 2: Has 600 average CCV but a 50% CPM rate modifier. 5 hours (300 minutes) * 600 = 180,000 ViewMinutes. 180,000/1000 = 1,800 CPM Units. 1,800*$1(0.5) = $900 Payout

$$\frac{\text{300} \times \text{600}}{1000} \times \text{1} \times \text{0.5} = \mathbf{900}$$

If we assume clicks are $1 and Streamer 1 earned 40 while Streamer 2 earned 20, they would also be paid an additional $40 and $20 respectively.

It is important to keep in mind that CPM is dynamic and can change from one stream to another or throughout the same stream. You can visit the Stream Dashboard at any time to reference the current CPM rate being applied.

Payouts

Earnings can be tracked directly from the Stream Dashboard, and payouts can be accessed in the Wallet tab. Payouts are available twice each month, every second Friday. We currently only offer $USDC payouts on various blockchain networks including Solana, Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum. USD Coin is a stable coin created by Circle which can be claimed or traded 1:1 for US Dollars on any major cryptocurrency exchange and some banks.

How to claim a payout:

1. Go to the Wallet tab and click Withdraw Now

2. Download a crypto wallet such as Solflare and copy your wallet address OR copy the deposit address from an exchange such as Coinbase.
3. Select the network you want to withdraw on and enter your wallet address

4. Once you have verified the network and address is correct click Withdraw

IMPORTANT: make sure wallet address you enter belongs to the same network you selected. Funds sent to the wrong wallet/network are irretrievable.

Fees

We don't charge any fees on payout withdrawals and we cover all transaction costs for payouts on Solana. We use deBridge to provide swaps for payouts on networks other than Solana.

Each blockchain network has their own transaction fees (often referred to as Gas) and there are also swapping fees when changing from one network to another. If you choose another chain such as Ethereum you will have any associated network and swapping fees deducted from your withdrawal amount. Fee amounts are presented in advance.
