Creator Revenue Settlement Layer

Split revenue at purchase.
Pay modders instantly.

Split every mod sale at the moment of purchase on a shared marketplace, where the Royalty Standard and Royalty Clearing modules apply each creator's cut in the same transaction. An ERC-20 token carries payment and the Subgraph Indexer surfaces sales, so studios pay creators automatically instead of running manual monthly payouts.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn a monthly manual payout run into an instant, transparent split at the point of sale.

01.

Purchase-Time Split

Pay the creator as the buyer clicks. The Royalty Standard divides each sale in the same transaction that settles it, so a mod maker's share arrives instantly rather than at the end of the month.

02.

Royalty Clearing

Handle complex splits cleanly. The Royalty Clearing module resolves multi-party shares, collaborator cuts, and the studio's platform fee in one pass, so every stakeholder is paid their exact portion.

03.

Token-Native Payment

Move money without an off-chain processor. An ERC-20 token carries the payment through the marketplace contract, so settlement is programmable and final without waiting on a bank clearing cycle.

04.

Indexed Sales

Surface every sale in real time. The Subgraph Indexer exposes purchases, volumes, and payouts as a queryable feed, so creators and studios read live earnings instead of a delayed report.

05.

Transparent Terms

Publish the split, not just the payout. Each mod's revenue share is encoded on-chain, so a creator sees the exact percentage they earn before listing rather than trusting a private agreement.

06.

No Monthly Payout Run

Retire the accounting backlog. Because settlement happens per sale on-chain, the studio no longer batches, reconciles, and wires creator earnings by hand every month.

The Marketplace Lifecycle

Follow a single mod from its listing on the marketplace to the instant split of its very next sale.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes the modding marketplace into modular contracts. Each layer lists, splits, pays, and indexes a sale without a studio batching payouts by hand.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Instant creator revenue share is a horizontal capability. Here is how different parts of the modding economy put point-of-sale settlement to work.

Game Studios

Run an official mod marketplace without a payout department. Studios encode the split once and let every sale settle itself, replacing a monthly reconciliation run with automatic on-chain distribution.

Mod Creators

Get paid the instant a player buys, with the split visible up front. Creators earn per sale rather than per month and read live volumes instead of trusting a delayed statement.

Marketplace Platforms

Operate a multi-creator storefront where money moves natively. Platforms settle complex collaborator splits atomically and surface transparent sales data to every party from the ledger.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging a studio's existing storefront backend or routing native wallet purchases from players, Cerulea routes both into one settlement record.

Track A: Studio Storefront Bridging

For studios running a legacy marketplace backend. Existing purchase events are translated into signed on-chain splits through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: Native Creator Marketplace

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects creator marketplace infrastructure benchmarks. Writing custom split logic, wiring a token payment rail, and building a real-time sales indexer for an average platform takes a baseline of 8 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your split and clearing rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the shared settlement ledger and indexer instantly.
