Fund the work.
Then it gets made.
Communities pool money into pots that pay out directly to creators once they complete a public creative work. No upfront contracts. No gatekeepers.
How it works
Simple. Transparent. Community-driven.
A pot gets created
Anyone can open a pot for a specific creative work — a song, illustration, video, meme. The creator is named upfront.
The community funds it
Fans place votives. Funds are held safely until the work is done. No risk, no upfront contracts.
The work gets made
The creator submits their work. After a 7-day review window, the pot pays out directly to them.
Who's involved
The Mob
Everyone. Fans and funders who place votives into pots for creative work they want to see made.
The Summoned
Creators who can receive payouts. They claim their profile and submit completed work to unlock the funds.
The Council
Platform admins who verify creator identities, approve completions, and keep things running fairly.
Safe, transparent funding
Funds are held securely and only released when the work is verified and approved. Artypot takes a 5% platform fee — subject to community vote each year.
