Why creators publish on Stuff.io
Earn 70% of every sale
70% of every sale is yours, automatically. No middleman, no quarterly statements, no gatekeepers.
Resale royalties forever
When a fan resells your work, you get a cut every single time — automatically. The percentage is yours to set when you publish.
Your IP stays yours
You’re never exclusive to Stuff.io. We don’t relicense, sublicense, or repackage your work. The rights are yours, the price is yours, the audience is yours.
Know who actually owns your work
Get a real-time list of every verified owner — what they bought, when they bought it, and how often they engage. Your audience, finally measurable.
Drop bonus content to your real fans
Send signed editions, alternate covers, bonus chapters, or behind-the-scenes audio directly to people who already own your work — no email list, no platform skim.
Direct fan access on launch day
Run private livestreams, Q&As, or early-access drops for verified owners. The audience is right there — you decide what to give them next.
Three steps to publish
1. Prepare
Get your media ready: an eBook, audiobook, music, or video file plus a 4000×4000 cover image and a landing-page description. Video files up to 6 GiB.
2. Publish
Upload your files, set your price, royalty percentage, and how many units to offer, then pay the one-time creation fee by credit card or in $STUFF Token. Review carefully — once published, your work is permanent.
3. Connect
Get your sales link 72 hours before launch and tell the world. Watch your verified-owners list grow in real time. You earn on every sale — primary and resale, forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can My Fans Pay in Credit Card?
Yes! Fans can pay by credit card, or with ADA using a Cardano wallet.
Can I Have More Than One Cover?
Currently, the Creator Portal supports single-cover assets. If you are interested in a multi-cover mint, please go to https://stuff.io/creator-interest/ and submit the form.
We will announce any future updates to this.
Once My Asset is Created, Can it Be Edited?
No, once the asset is on the Blockchain, it can never be changed or recalled.
How Does The Creator Get Paid?
Primary Sales: you keep 70% of every sale. For works published through the current Creator Portal flow, payouts arrive in minimum increments of $50, with your first payout about 60 days from the date your work goes on sale. Works published through the earlier $STUFF flow continue to receive their 70% automatically via SmartContract to the Cardano wallet provided at creation.
Secondary Sales: Each time a qualified secondary sale is made on a participating Third-Party Marketplace, 2.5% (Stuff.io's percentage) + the percentage the Creator selected at creation is taken from the sale and put into a bucket. Each time that Bucket reaches 50 ADA, the ADA is automatically distributed to the creator and Stuff.io/Book.io. This prevents expensive micro-transactions that erode revenue.
Can I Mint Public Domain Works?
Yes. We accept public domain works. During submission you simply declare whether your work is a public domain work or an original work you hold the publishing rights to.
Can I Add a Discount To My Mint?
No. Discounts are not currently available on the Creator Portal.
How Long Will My Work Be For Sale?
Until it sells out, or 2 years from the initial creation date when the policy ID locks, whichever comes first.
Where Can I Find More Info On The Creator Portal?
Head to our Knowledge Base "Creator Portal" section. Can't find the answer you are looking for? Email us at [email protected].
Can I publish video?
Yes. Video is generally available on the Stuff.io Creator Portal. The one-time creation fee for video is $9.99, and your primary video file can be up to 6 GiB, roomy enough for a feature-length 1080p film.
Do I need to disclose A.I. generated content?
Yes. Every submission answers the question "Does this media contain any A.I. generated content?" If the answer is yes, a description of the A.I. generated content is required.
How do I pay the creation fee?
By credit card or in $STUFF Token. Both are available for every media type and every supply size.
How many copies can I offer?
Any amount from 10 to 500,000 units. Up to 5,000 units is included in your creation fee; larger supplies add a one-time surcharge: up to 15,000 (+$9), 50,000 (+$29), 100,000 (+$49), or 500,000 (+$99).
