FAQ
Our current modeling follows industry standards: 15% for digital sales and 10% for physical goods, but this is a placeholder. As a cooperative platform, final fee structures will be determined through member discussion and governance processes. Importantly, your credits will maintain their full value regardless of any future changes to our fee structure.
Credits will be automatically applied to your account when you join the platform. They'll automatically offset your platform fees until depleted.
Yes. Labels can use their credits for platform fees across their entire catalog. The credits will automatically apply to any releases under your label account.
