What Viewly is
Viewly is a launchpad concept for community tokens around YouTube creators. A community can start a token before a creator joins, while a share of conceptual trading fees is reserved for that creator.

The clear version.
Everything you need to understand the prototype, without the crypto jargon.
Community-created vs. creator-verified
Community-created means the token was started by supporters and is not endorsed by the creator. Creator-verified means the creator has completed the channel verification flow and claimed their profile.
How creator fees work
The prototype models a 1.5% creator fee and a 0.5% Viewly fee on each trade. These are illustrative numbers only; no fees accrue and no funds move in this version.
Claiming fees, without crypto setup
Creator fees accumulate against a YouTube channel until the creator verifies ownership with YouTube. After verification, Viewly creates an embedded wallet automatically — no MetaMask, no seed phrase. Crypto-native creators will also be able to use their own compatible EVM wallet instead.
Payouts
In the first release, creators withdraw their creator-fee balance from the embedded wallet when withdrawals are enabled. Bank and local-currency payouts through a regulated payout provider such as Stripe Connect are planned for a later release, subject to country availability, compliance, and provider support.
Robinhood Chain
Viewly is designed around a future Robinhood Chain integration. Network settlement, token contracts, wallets, and trading are not connected in the prototype.

FAQ
How does a creator claim their fees?
Verify the YouTube channel. Viewly then creates an embedded wallet for the creator, so they can access their accumulated creator fees without setting up MetaMask or managing a seed phrase.
Can a creator use their own wallet?
Yes. Crypto-native creators will be able to use an existing compatible EVM wallet instead of the Viewly embedded wallet.
Can creators withdraw to a bank account?
Not in the first release. Bank and local-currency payouts are planned through a regulated payout provider such as Stripe, subject to country availability and verification requirements.
Does the creator need to know crypto?
No. The default claim flow is designed around YouTube verification and an automatically created embedded wallet — no crypto wallet setup required.
Where are fees before the creator claims?
Conceptually, creator fees are attributed to the creator's channel until ownership is verified. The production custody architecture is not live yet — this is still a prototype.
