creator earnings on postfun
focus on your content, we handle the monetization
as a content creator on x (formerly twitter), your primary focus is to craft compelling, insightful, or entertaining tweets that resonate with your audience. you build influence, spark conversations, and shape narratives. traditionally, monetizing this inherent social value has been a fragmented, often cumbersome process involving ad revenue, sponsorships, or direct fan support.
postfun revolutionizes this. we provide an automatic, passive, and direct monetization stream for your content, allowing you to earn from the very act of cultural engagement. you create, your audience engages, and postfun ensures you're rewarded for the value you generate.
this revolutionary approach to creator monetization addresses several long-standing challenges in the social media economy:
immediate value recognition: unlike traditional platforms where monetization might take months to materialize through ad revenue or sponsorship deals, postfun provides real-time financial feedback for your content's value. every interaction in the postfun marketplace directly translates to potential earnings for you.
passive income generation: once your content is minted on postfun, it begins generating income automatically without any additional effort on your part. this creates a portfolio of passive income streams from your existing content library.
democratic access: postfun doesn't require you to have a massive following or corporate partnerships to earn meaningful income. even creators with modest audiences can generate substantial earnings if their content resonates with the postfun community.
direct value capture: instead of intermediaries taking large cuts of your content's value, postfun enables you to capture a significant percentage directly from those who find your content valuable enough to trade.
continuous earnings: your share of every swap
every single content pool created from one of your tweets on postfun is an active market. every time a user (a "trader") buys or sells tokens within that pool, a small transaction fee is applied.
here's the exciting part: you, as the original content creator, automatically earn 15% of that fee on every single swap, forever!
this continuous earning mechanism transforms each piece of your content into a perpetual revenue generator. unlike one-time payments or ad revenue that fluctuates based on platform algorithms, your postfun earnings create a steady stream of income that can grow over time as your content continues to attract trading activity.
passive income: this earning stream is entirely passive. once a pool for your tweet exists, you don't need to do anything further to earn. this means that content you created months or years ago can continue generating income if it maintains relevance in the postfun marketplace.
the passive nature of these earnings is particularly valuable because it rewards long-term cultural impact rather than just immediate virality. content that becomes a reference point or maintains ongoing relevance continues to generate fees over extended periods.
real-time accumulation: your share of fees accumulates in a dedicated balance on our backend, waiting for you to claim. this system ensures that you never miss out on earnings, even if you don't regularly check your postfun account.
the accumulation system is designed for transparency and accuracy. every single trade involving your content is recorded and tracked, with your 15% share automatically calculated and added to your pending balance. this creates an auditable trail of your earnings that you can verify at any time.
volume-driven: the more popular your tweet's pool becomes, and the more trading volume it generates, the more sats you accumulate.
this volume-driven approach creates natural incentives for community engagement. as more people discuss, share, and trade tokens related to your content, your earnings increase proportionally. this aligns your interests with those of your audience and the broader postfun community.

the volume-driven nature also means that trending topics or breaking news related to your content can create sudden spikes in your earnings. a single tweet that becomes part of a major cultural conversation might generate thousands of trades in a short period, significantly boosting your income.
the graduation bonus: a massive payout for breakthrough content
while continuous swap fees provide a steady stream, the true game-changer for creators is the graduation bonus. this is a significant lump-sum payout designed to reward creators whose content achieves viral success and generates substantial economic activity on postfun.
the graduation bonus represents postfun's recognition that some content achieves extraordinary cultural significance that deserves exceptional rewards. it's designed to ensure that creators of truly breakthrough content receive life-changing compensation for their contributions to the cultural zeitgeist.
what is graduation? a content pool "graduates" when its real bitcoin_reserve reaches 100,000,000 sats (1 btc). this signifies that your tweet has fostered a robust, highly active market.
reaching graduation status is an extraordinary achievement that requires sustained community interest and significant trading volume. it demonstrates that your content has achieved genuine cultural importance within the postfun ecosystem and potentially beyond.
the 1 btc threshold is carefully chosen to represent a meaningful financial milestone while remaining achievable for content with exceptional appeal. it requires thousands of individual trades and substantial community investment, making it a true measure of content significance.
your reward: if your post's pool achieves this monumental milestone, you receive a massive bonus of 5% of the entire 1 btc pot, equating to 5,000,000 sats! this is a direct, substantial reward for cultivating a truly impactful piece of content.
the graduation bonus is separate from your ongoing 15% fee share, meaning you benefit twice from exceptionally successful content. first, through the continuous accumulation of trading fees, and second, through this substantial one-time bonus that recognizes the peak achievement of content graduation.

this bonus structure creates powerful incentives for creators to produce content that not only generates initial interest but maintains long-term relevance and engagement. it rewards those who contribute content that becomes part of the cultural fabric rather than just temporary viral moments.
real-world example: elon musk's impact, directly monetized
let's use the hypothetical example of a highly influential figure like elon musk and his impact on crypto culture.
this example illustrates how postfun can transform the economic dynamics of social media influence, creating direct financial relationships between content creators and their audiences.
the tweet: imagine elon posts a thought-provoking tweet about the future of energy, sparking widespread debate and engagement.
for this example, let's say elon tweets: "the transition to sustainable energy will accelerate dramatically once battery storage costs drop below $50/kwh. this will happen within 18 months, fundamentally changing how we think about power grids globally."
such a tweet would likely generate immediate discussion among his millions of followers, particularly those interested in technology, energy markets, and cryptocurrency. the specific, quantifiable nature of his prediction makes it particularly suitable for postfun trading, as the market can eventually evaluate whether his prediction was accurate.
the minter's vision: a postfun user (a "minter") recognizes the tweet's potential cultural and economic impact and decides to create a content pool for it on postfun. they pay the 1,000 sat minting fee.
the minter sees several factors that make this tweet attractive for trading:
- elon's track record of making influential predictions
- the specific timeline and metrics provided
- the broad relevance to multiple industries
- the potential for ongoing discussion as the 18-month period progresses
by minting this tweet, the minter is essentially betting that the community will find value in trading tokens representing this prediction, and that the prediction's accuracy (or inaccuracy) will influence token prices over time.
the trading frenzy: driven by excitement, analysis, and speculation, thousands of postfun users begin buying and selling tokens in "the elon energy token" pool. each swap generates a fee.
trading activity might follow several patterns:
- initial excitement driving rapid price appreciation
- more analytical traders entering to evaluate the prediction's validity
- ongoing activity as the 18-month timeline approaches
- potential volatility based on real-world developments in battery technology
each of these trading activities generates fees that contribute to the creator's earnings. the more discussion and analysis the tweet generates, the more trading activity occurs, and the more fees accumulate for the creator.
elon's passive income: for every single buy and sell transaction, 15% of that fee (e.g., 150 sats from a 1,000 sat fee) is automatically earmarked for a wallet controlled by postfun, waiting for elon to claim.
if this pool generates 100,000 individual trades with an average fee of 1,000 sats each, elon would accumulate 1,500,000 sats (1.5 million sats) in passive income just from the trading fees, in addition to any graduation bonus if the pool reaches that milestone.
this passive income stream continues indefinitely as long as trading activity continues, creating a permanent monetization channel for elon's content.
the graduation: if "the elon energy token" pool hits the 1 btc bitcoin_reserve milestone, it graduates. beyond the ongoing fees, elon automatically becomes eligible for a 5,000,000 sat bonus from that 1 btc pool!
the combination of ongoing fees and the graduation bonus could result in substantial compensation for elon's single tweet, potentially worth tens of thousands of dollars depending on bitcoin's price at the time of payout.
this example clearly illustrates how postfun transforms ephemeral social engagement into a tangible, ongoing, and potentially life-changing income stream for creators. your content's cultural impact now has a direct, measurable financial value.
the example also demonstrates how postfun can create entirely new economic relationships between content creators and their audiences. rather than relying on traditional advertising models or sponsorship deals, creators can be directly compensated by markets that form around their content.
maximizing your creator earnings
to fully leverage postfun's creator monetization system, consider these strategies:
consistency in content creation: while individual viral tweets can generate substantial earnings, consistent quality content increases the probability that some of your posts will be minted and traded. the more content you create, the more opportunities you have for postfun monetization.
engagement with your audience: content that generates discussion and debate tends to be more attractive for postfun trading. encouraging your followers to engage with your content can increase its potential value in the marketplace.
understanding your niche: creators who develop expertise in specific areas often see higher postfun activity around their content, as traders value specialized knowledge and insights.
long-term thinking: remember that postfun rewards content with lasting relevance, not just immediate virality. content that continues generating discussion over time will continue generating fees for you.
postfun represents a fundamental shift in how social media content can be monetized. by automatically rewarding creators for their cultural contributions, it creates a more equitable and sustainable ecosystem where value flows directly from those who benefit from content to those who create it.
