Getting Started

What is Kreato?

Kreato is a Web3 creator monetization platform. It lets you sell digital products, run membership communities, and accept crypto donations, with every payment going directly to your wallet. No middlemen, no withdrawals, no waiting.

Payments are processed on-chain across Ethereum, Base, and Solana. Buyers pay with ETH, USDC, SOL, or USDC (Ethereum, Base or Solana). You receive the net amount instantly after each confirmed transaction.

⚡Platform fee is 2.5% per transaction. One of the lowest in the creator economy.

Wallet Connection

Kreato uses wallet-based authentication. No passwords, no email signups. Your wallet address is your identity.

Click Connect Wallet

In the top navigation bar. Supports MetaMask, WalletConnect, and Coinbase Wallet (EVM), plus Phantom and Solflare for Solana.

Approve in your wallet

No transaction is sent, this is just a signature to prove you own the address.

Account created automatically

A user row is created in the database linked to your wallet address. Subsequent connects return the same account.

Link multiple chains

Connect ETH and Solana wallets — both get linked to the same creator account so you can receive on any chain.

Creator Onboarding

First-time users who connect their wallet are guided through a short onboarding flow to set up their creator profile and claim a public URL slug.

Choose your slug

This becomes your public URL: kreato.space/your-slug. Checked for availability in real time.

Fill in your profile

Display name, bio, avatar, cover image, and social links.

Select your creator sector

Pick the category that best describes your content (e.g. Education, Music, Design, Gaming, Finance, Fitness, Tech, or Other). This appears on your public page and helps buyers discover you.

Feature tour

An 8-step animated tour walks you through every feature. Re-openable anytime from the sidebar.

Creator sectors

During onboarding you choose one primary sector. It can be updated anytime from Settings → Profile.

Sector	Best for
🎓 Education	Courses, ebooks, tutorials, study guides
🎵 Music	Beats, samples, albums, exclusive tracks
🎨 Design	Templates, UI kits, illustrations, brand assets
🎮 Gaming	Game assets, mods, guides, streams
💰 Finance	Trading signals, research reports, investment tools
💪 Fitness	Workout plans, nutrition guides, coaching
💻 Tech	Dev tools, scripts, SaaS resources, code snippets
✨ Other	Everything else — art, writing, photography, etc.

💡Your sector is used for discovery and filtering on the Kreato marketplace. Choosing the most accurate sector helps surface your page to the right buyers.

How it works

Add product

Click 'Add product', select file type, upload your file and optional cover image.

Set price

Enter price and currency (USDC and ETH on EVM; SOL and USDC on Solana). Price after fee is shown live as you type.

Buyer purchases

Buyer pays on-chain via TransactionModal. After block confirmation, a one-time download token (24h expiry) is generated.

File delivery

Buyer clicks download and file is served from /api/download/file?token=xxx. Token expires after use or 24 hours.

💡The After fee column in the products table shows exactly what you receive per sale, calculated from your current plan's fee percentage.

Memberships

Create recurring subscription tiers. Members pay based on the selected billing period in crypto and automatically receive Discord roles or Telegram group access, managed entirely by the Kreato bot.

Membership limits by plan

Plan	Max tiers
🪴 Free	1 tier
⚡ Early Backer	2 tiers
👑 Pro Kreato	5 tiers
🚀 Pioneer	5 tiers

Billing periods

When creating a tier, choose how often subscribers are charged. Each period sets the subscription duration before renewal is required.

Period	Billed	Best for
Daily	per day	Great for day-passes or trial access
Weekly	per week	Short-term communities or weekly content drops
Monthly	per month	Standard recurring membership — most common
Yearly	per year	Long-term commitment with best value pricing

💡The subscription expiry is calculated from the billing period — Daily = 1 day, Weekly = 7 days, Monthly = 30 days, Yearly = 365 days. Subscribers must renew manually before expiry to maintain access.

Community bot setup

Before enabling Discord or Telegram access for a membership tier, you must configure the Kreato bot properly.

💬

Discord setup

Add KreatoBot to your server and ensure it has Manage Roles permission. The bot's role must be positioned above the role you want to grant in the server's role hierarchy, otherwise role assignment will fail.

✈️

Telegram setup

Add @kreatospace_bot as an admin to your Telegram group or channel before enabling access. The bot will generate a unique invite link after each successful subscription.

⚠️If the bot is not configured correctly, subscribers will not receive access even after successful payment.

Bot integration

Each membership tier can optionally require Discord and/or Telegram connection:

💬

Discord

Enter your Server ID and Role ID. The bot auto-adds subscribers to your server and grants the role instantly, even if they have never joined before (via OAuth guilds.join).

✈️

Enter your Group/Channel ID. The bot generates a single-use invite link after payment, valid until subscription expiry.

Subscription flow

Buyer clicks Subscribe

If tier requires Discord or Telegram, a 'Connect accounts' step appears before payment.

Connect platforms

Discord: OAuth redirect with guilds.join scope. Telegram: open bot, send /start, and user is automatically detected.

Pay on-chain

Subscription payment is sent via smart contract (EVM) or direct transfer (Solana).

Access granted

Subscription is activated, Discord role is assigned, and Telegram invite link is generated.

⚠️The Kreato bot must have Manage Roles permission, and its role must be placed above the target role in Discord server settings.

Posts

Publish long-form content directly to your creator page. Posts can be public or gated behind membership tiers — your members read them in a rich modal with comments and likes.

Access levels

Access type	Who can read
PUBLIC	Visible to everyone, no wallet required
MEMBERS	Any active subscriber across all your tiers
TIER	Specific membership plan IDs only — mix-and-match tiers

💡MEMBERS grants access to any active subscriber regardless of tier. TIER restricts to one or more specific plans — useful for premium-only content.

Tabs & Content

The creator page has five tabs for different content types:

⭐ Reviews	Verified on-chain reviews, only buyers can review, each review linked to a txHash proof

🔒Reviews are verified on-chain. The system checks that the reviewer has a confirmed purchase, active subscription, or donation before allowing them to submit. Fake reviews are impossible.

Donation Widget (Sidebar)

The sidebar on every creator page contains a donation widget visible to all visitors.

Choose amount

Preset amounts ($1, $5, $10, $25, $50) or custom amount. Selected in USDC by default.

Add message (optional)

Stored as hex calldata (EVM) or memo field (Solana) on-chain — permanent and publicly readable on the blockchain.

Click Send donation

Opens the TransactionModal to complete payment on chosen chain and token.

Funding goals

Below the donation widget, active funding goals appear with progress bars showing how close the creator is to each target. Configurable in Settings → Creator page.

Recent supporters

A live feed of the 5 most recent donations with sender name/address, message preview, amount, chain, and timestamp. Configurable in Settings → Creator page.

Transaction Flow

The TransactionModal handles all payment types — donations, product purchases, and subscriptions. Here's exactly what happens step by step:

EVM payments (Ethereum / Base)

Input step

Select chain (ETH/Base), token (ETH, USDC), amount, and optional message.

Network switch

If MetaMask is on the wrong network, 'Switching network…' step shows — approve in wallet.

For ERC-20 tokens

Two wallet prompts: first Approve (allow contract to spend tokens), then payWithToken.

Smart contract

Payment goes through the KreatoPayment contract which splits creator net + platform fee atomically.

Confirming

Block explorer link shown while polling confirmation every 5 seconds.

Success

Download link generated (purchases) or Discord/Telegram access granted (subscriptions).

Solana payments

Select Solana chain

Choose Solana in the chain selector. Token options are SOL or USDC (SPL token on Solana mainnet).

Two transactions

Tx 1: net amount → creator wallet. Tx 2: platform fee → Kreato fee wallet (non-blocking, best-effort).

Optional memo

Messages are included as a Memo instruction on-chain — permanently stored and publicly readable via Solscan.

Confirmation

Uses getSignatureStatus with searchTransactionHistory to confirm finality.

Success

Download link generated (purchases) or Discord/Telegram access granted (subscriptions), same as EVM flow.

💡If the Solana fee transaction (tx 2) fails, the creator still receives the full net amount. The fee is retried server-side and never blocks delivery.

Custom Domain

Pro and Pioneer creators can point their own domain to their Kreato creator page. Instead of kreato.space/your-slug, visitors land on your-domain.com — same page, your branding.

Add your domain

Go to Dashboard → Settings and enter your custom domain (e.g. shop.yoursite.com).

Create a CNAME record

In your DNS provider, add a CNAME record pointing your domain to kreato.space.

Wait for verification

Kreato polls DNS every 5 seconds for up to 2 minutes. Status updates live: Pending → Verifying → Active.

SSL provisioned automatically

Once verified, HTTPS is enabled. Your creator page is live on your custom domain.

💡Custom domain is available on Pro and Pioneer plans only. DNS propagation can take a few minutes to a few hours depending on your provider's TTL.
