Four ways to split a gift

One model is active at a time and it applies platform-wide. Drag any tier to see what it does to the creator, to the platform, and to the real share of the retail dollar.

What the percentage is a percentage of

The split applies to the bean pool, not to what the fan paid. A gift worth 1,000 gems costs the fan about $9.98 and creates 1,000 beans worth $5.00. A 70% split gives the creator $3.50 — 35% of the retail price. The right-hand column below shows that translation for every tier so the two numbers never get confused.

Tiered by rank

Bronze through Eternal. The strongest model for retention — the split itself becomes a progression reward, and the platform's margin is healthiest at the low ranks where volume is smallest.

Tiered by gift type

The platform keeps more on premium and legendary gifts. Everyday gifting stays generous, and the whales fund the margin.

Tiered by verification

Pays for trust. A 15-point spread between unverified and premium verified is the cheapest KYC completion incentive available — it costs nothing until the creator actually earns.

Dynamic by volume

Seven monthly earnings brackets. Creators watch their own split improve as they grow, which makes the ceiling visible and worth chasing.

Side by side

A Diamond-rank creator with full KYC, earning $2,400 a month, receiving a premium gift. What each active model would pay them.

The spread between the best and worst model for the same creator is —. Choosing the model is a bigger decision than tuning any single tier within it.

Which model to run

The trade-off

🏅

By rankBest retention. Split becomes a progression reward, margin is healthiest where volume is lowest.

Recommended

🎁

By gift typeBest margin protection. But creators see their split drop exactly when they earn most, which reads as a penalty.

Careful

🛡️

By verificationBest compliance driver. Weak as a growth pitch — it tops out at 75% and everyone reaches the ceiling quickly.

Pair it

📈

By volumeMost intuitive to a creator. Punishes seasonality — a quiet month drops them a bracket and the split falls with it.

Watch

Two things worth fixing

The split is enforced on the client

The active model and its tiers persist to Supabase, but the earnings row is written by the app. Nothing on the server recomputes the split before it lands. Whatever percentage you set here is advisory until one server-side function becomes the only writer of an earnings row.

Only gifts read this configuration

Subscriptions, digital products, live commerce, brand deals and the SDK each compute their fee at the point of sale. Five hardcoded rates, five places to change, five things that can drift out of sync with what this page shows.

Defaults on this page mirror RevenueSplitService exactly — 60% at Bronze through 80% at Eternal, 70/65/60 by gift tier, 60→75 by verification, and seven volume brackets from 60% to 80%.
