When users pay to use your Expert, the platform calculates your share and distributes it as diamonds to your account. The higher your creator level, the greater your revenue share.

Dual Currency: Credits and Diamonds

Profy uses a completely isolated dual-currency system — user-side credits and creator-side diamonds are entirely separate. The two ledgers are completely independent — they cannot be converted or mixed.
You don’t need to understand the credit billing logic. All you need to know is: user pays → platform calculates your share → diamonds arrive in your account.

Where Revenue Comes From

Your diamond revenue comes from three paths:

1. Expert Usage Payments

Users consume resources using your Expert (usage-based model), or make a one-time purchase (one-time model). The platform calculates your share based on your level and credits it to your diamond account in real time.

2. API Calls

Developers invoke your Expert through the Platform API, with each call billed by token consumption, generating the same revenue share.

3. Content Plaza Conversions

Users discover and pay for your Expert through your promo notes. The conversion path is transparently tracked, and attributed revenue is credited to your account.

Four Creator Levels

The platform has a four-tier creator level system. Higher levels mean greater revenue shares:
Stability: configurable defaults (DEFAULT_CREATOR_LEVEL_TIERS); operations can override via system_config.creator_level_tiers, in which case your creator dashboard is authoritative.Three points that are easy to get wrong:
  1. The promotion threshold is cumulative diamond revenue, not a “composite metric.” There is exactly one criterion: whether your cumulative revenue has reached minDiamonds. Expert quality and user satisfaction play no part in level determination.
  2. Unlock share and consumption share are two independent rates, and the gap is large (75% vs 10%). You keep the great majority of unlock revenue but only a minority of consumption revenue — because consumption corresponds to real model compute the platform pays for. So for the same gross amount, revenue arriving via unlocks is worth far more to you than revenue arriving via consumption.
  3. The consumption share stops rising after professional (both professional and master sit at 20%); only the unlock share continues climbing to 95%.
Promotion is automatic once the threshold is met; no application is needed.

Revenue Freeze and Thaw

Newly generated diamond revenue enters a freeze period. After the freeze period ends, it automatically becomes available for withdrawal.
Stability: configurable defaults (DEFAULT_WITHDRAWAL_RULES.buyoutFreezeDays / usageFreezeDays, both 30 days); operations can override via system_config.withdrawal_rules.Thawing happens per record, not as a monthly batch settlement — each earning counts 30 days from the moment it was generated and becomes withdrawable automatically at that point. So your withdrawable balance grows a little every day rather than jumping once at month end.
The freeze period is designed to:
  • Provide a time window for refund and dispute processing
  • Prevent volume manipulation
  • Protect both creator and platform interests

Daily Revenue Notifications

The platform automatically summarizes your Expert’s revenue from the previous day and sends an in-app notification. Contents include:
  • Yesterday’s total diamond revenue
  • Breakdown by Expert
  • Cumulative withdrawable balance
Notifications are only sent on days with new revenue, with a maximum of one per creator per day.

Strategies to Increase Revenue

High-quality Experts have better trial-to-purchase conversion and repeat purchase rates. The Darwin evolution system is a free tool for continuous quality improvement.
Publish promo notes in the Content Plaza to showcase your Expert’s real output. Every good note can potentially bring in new users.
Reference pricing of similar services, start at a mid-range price point, and gradually adjust to the optimal price based on conversion data.
Multiple vertically-focused Experts are more effective than one broad, all-encompassing one. Break down your expertise into different scenarios.
Higher level = higher share. Staying active and consistently producing high-quality content is the key path to advancement.
