A user signs up through a creator you referred (Tier 1 only). You earn 0.1 points. A small bonus for building the network.

No Tier 2+ for user referrals. Points only on direct users and users from your Tier 1 creators. Keeps the system simple and prevents dilution.

Real points for real creators.

The fund only works if it rewards honest growth. Four guardrails keep it that way.

Acceptance gate

Creator referral points are only awarded after AskGVT reviews and accepts the referred creator. Signup alone earns nothing.

Self-referral block

Same IP, device fingerprint, or email domain patterns are flagged and blocked. No referring yourself.

Velocity limits

Max 50 qualified creator referrals per day per creator. Stops bot-farm volume without blocking real network growth.

30-day clawback

Points are provisional for 30 days. If a referred creator or user churns within that window, the points are revoked.

Questions, answered.

When do I get paid?

Distribution is calculated monthly. Payments go out after a defined validation period (we may delay payments for fraud review or verification). Your Studio dashboard shows what you've earned, what's pending validation, and what's already been paid out.

How long are my points valid?

Points are valid for 24 months from the date they're issued. If you earn points and don't claim payouts, they don't expire for two years. After 24 months, unredeemed points expire.

What revenue counts toward the Creator Fund?

Qualifying revenue includes:

Consumer subscription revenue
In-app purchases and upgrades
Advertising tied to consumer usage of AskGVT
Affiliate and commerce revenue generated through the platform

Not part of the fund:

Enterprise or B2B contracts (e.g. GVTLabs)
Agency or managed service revenue
One-off commercial deals
Grants, sponsorships, partnership payments
Taxes, refunds, chargebacks
Platform fees (e.g. app store commissions)

Is the Creator Fund guaranteed?

The Creator Fund is a discretionary incentive program. It can be modified or ended. Participation does not guarantee any minimum payout. It is not equity, not profit-share, not a partnership, and not a security. We commit to transparency on what you've earned, the breakdown by category, historical payouts, and a fair distribution method based on the formula above.

Do I get paid for inviting creators? Is this a referral scheme?

You earn points when creators you invite become active on the platform. Active means accepted into the platform during onboarding: there's a manual acceptance step that protects against fake-account farming, so points only accrue once an invited creator has been verified as legitimate. You're not paid for the act of inviting alone. No participation fee, no obligation to recruit anyone. Network points reward genuine contribution to the supply side of the platform, not list-building.

How can I earn before the consumer product launches?

Network points accrue from day one, regardless of whether your content is indexed: invite creators in your niche and earn as they’re accepted. Audience points switch on when AskGVT launches and your viewers can sign up. The third earning dynamic (content answering consumer queries) layers on top at the same time.

What about tax? Do you handle that for me?

No. AskGVT pays you the amount you've earned under the fund's distribution formula. We don't withhold, classify, or advise on the payment. Tax classification and reporting on your end are your responsibility. We provide standard payment records and you can pull your full earnings history from the Studio dashboard. Talk to an accountant in your jurisdiction if you're not sure what applies.

If my agency takes a cut of my earnings, does AskGVT deduct that?

No. AskGVT pays Creator Fund earnings directly to the creator account, in full, every cycle. If your agency, manager, or other representative is entitled to a share, that's a separate arrangement between you and them, governed by whatever contract you have. We don't deduct, split, or route Creator Fund payments to any third party.
