Creator Coins make it easy for anyone to support or be supported in a simple, fun, and safe way. Each Creator Coin is uniquely tied to a creator and is a Solana liquid staking token (LST) under the hood, backed by Sanctum's unified liquidity layer. This way, creators and their communities get a token that’s safe, liquid, and cannot be “rugged.”

For creators, Creator Coins offer ongoing support and a direct line to build deeper relationships with their fans. Supporters can enjoy engaging more meaningfully with the creators they admire, earning Seeds—a currency for perks—along the way.

How It Works

• How Support Works: When you hold any amount of a creator's Coin in your wallet, your staking yields are automatically pledged to the creator. There’s no minimum amount required—any non-zero Coin balance counts as active support.

• Automatic Yield Transfers: Staking yields are automatically transferred to the creator at the end of each Solana epoch.

• Stopping Support: You can stop supporting anytime by swapping out of a creator's Coin, bringing your Coin balance to zero.

Why Support Using Creator Coins

With Creator Coins, supporters enjoy a flexible, effortless way to support creators:

1. Support Creators at No Cost: Your initial SOL investment remains yours. When you decide to stop supporting, you can swap out of your Creator Coins and retrieve your SOL (minus swap and transaction fees), meaning your capital is preserved.

2. No Lock-In Period: Enjoy complete freedom to support on your terms. There’s no commitment required—start or stop supporting anytime by simply swapping in or out of a creator's Coin.

3. Effortless Contribution: Supporting creators is as easy as holding their Coins in your wallet. Just by keeping Creator Coins, you contribute directly to a creator's growth, with no extra effort required.
