The Creator Revolution: For the first time in AI history, those who build the automations earn from their usage. Every workflow you publish, every agent you create, generates continuous income as others leverage your innovation.
The Creator Economy
Your Automations, Your Revenue Stream
When any workflow or agent you’ve created is used through the marketplace, you automatically receive a percentage of all tokens consumed based on your Creator Epoch—up to 33% for early creators. This isn’t a one-time payment—it’s continuous passive income for as long as your creations remain useful.Instant Earnings
Tokens distributed immediately after each action execution
No Maintenance
Once published, workflows earn automatically without updates
Global Scale
Your creations can be used by millions worldwide
How Marketplace Earnings Work
The Distribution Flow
Automatic Distribution
Your Creator Epoch percentage (max 33%) of consumed tokens instantly credited to your wallet
Creator Epochs: Time-Based Reward Tiers
Early Creator Advantage
Forever Locked Rewards: When you publish a workflow to the marketplace, it gets tagged with the current Creator Epoch. This determines your permanent reward percentage from the token distribution—forever. A workflow published in Month 1 earns the full 33% of consumed tokens in perpetuity, while Month 9 workflows only earn 5%.
Creator Epoch Reward Schedule
| Creator Epoch | Publishing Month | Marketplace Reward % | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epoch 1 | Month 1 | 33% | Maximum Reward |
| Epoch 2 | Month 2 | 25% | Early Creator |
| Epoch 3 | Month 3 | 20% | Pioneer |
| Epoch 4 | Month 4 | 17.5% | Advanced |
| Epoch 5 | Month 5 | 15% | Established |
| Epoch 6 | Month 6 | 12.5% | Growing |
| Epoch 7 | Month 7 | 10% | Standard |
| Epoch 8 | Month 8 | 7.5% | Reduced |
| Epoch 9 | Month 9 | 5% | Minimal |
| Epoch 10+ | Month 10+ | 5% | Base Rate |
Key Difference: Creator Epochs determine your percentage of the 33% creator distribution. Training epochs (found in Point Tiers and Epochs) multiply your training rewards.
How Creator Epochs Work
Epoch Tagging
Your workflow gets permanently tagged with the current Creator Epoch (e.g., “Epoch 2”)
Earn Forever
Every time someone uses your workflow, you earn the locked-in percentage from token consumption
Creator Epoch Examples
Month 1 Creator Success Story
Month 1 Creator Success Story
Scenario: Published “LinkedIn Job Application” workflow in Month 1
Creator Epoch: 1 (33% reward rate)
Monthly Usage: 10,000 executions consuming 500,000 tokens
Monthly Earnings: 500,000 × 0.33 = 165,000 $LAM tokens
Annual Projection: 165,000 × 12 = 1,980,000 $LAM tokens
Why It Matters: This same workflow published in Month 9 would only earn 5% (75,750 tokens annually) - 96% less income!

Revenue Share Breakdown
Where Every Token Goes
The Perfect Split: 34% burned (creating scarcity), 33% to creators (rewarding innovation), 33% to foundation (ensuring sustainability). This balance drives both token value and creator incentive.
Per-Action Token Distribution
| Recipient | Percentage | Purpose | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burned | 34% | Permanently removed | Increases scarcity |
| Creator | 33% | Workflow/agent author | Incentivizes quality |
| Foundation | 33% | Platform operations | Ensures growth |
Important: If a workflow uses other marketplace components, the 33% creator share is split proportionally among all contributors based on their action contribution. The actual percentage you receive depends on your Creator Epoch (see above).

Publishing Best Practices
Maximize Your Earnings

Research what tasks businesses spend the most time on. B2B workflows typically earn 10x more than consumer ones.
Build Quality First
Test extensively before publishing. One broken workflow can damage your entire portfolio’s reputation.
Optimize for Actions
More actions = more earnings, but balance with efficiency. Users prefer workflows that get the job done reliably.
Write Clear Documentation
Include examples, prerequisites, and troubleshooting. Well-documented workflows get 3x more usage.
Price Competitively
While you earn from token consumption, you can also set one-time fees. Balance accessibility with value.
Market Strategically
Share in relevant communities, create demo videos, offer free trials. Your marketing drives your earnings.
Maintain and Update
Monitor user feedback, fix issues quickly, add requested features. Active creators earn 5x more than passive ones.
