Quiva

you hit the view threshold. ads switched on. you did everything the program asked. and the payout still didn't cover the week.. views are reach, not income. two different things and most comic platforms are only built for the first one.

stories aren't products. yet. right now a comic gets made, read, and forgotten the creator gets paid once, if at all every time that work gets resold or reused, someone else earns. not the person who drew it we're building quiva so comics and manga can be owned like assets, with royalties paid to the creator on every resale, automatically. we're building toward testnet, and it's open to all calling all comic readers, makers and creators to join the waitlist: quiva.app/waitlist

483 creators earned six figures in a single year, per webtoon's own 2024 filing. now the other side: one canvas creator shared their numbers. 2.5 million reads, ads on 200+ episodes, about $500 since 2021. they asked how pay is worked out and never got an answer. the money is there. most creators just can't see how it's split.

Most creators think they're building a comic They're actually building an IP. The comic is only the beginning. If readers love it, it can become a community, a collectible, a franchise or a legacy. So the question isn't just: "How do I publish my story?" but rather it should be: "How do I build something that keeps creating value over time?"

A creator's connection to their work shouldn't end after it's sold. Every time a story finds a new collector, reaches a new audience, or grows in value, the creator should still be part of that journey. That's the idea behind QUIVA. We're building a marketplace where creators can set royalties that keep them connected to the long-term value of their work, not just the first sale/transaction. If stories have a life beyond launch, why shouldn't creators should too??

We all have to agree that the best creative works don't lose value overnight some become more valuable because time proves their worth so why are creators often paid as if their work has an expiration date?🤔

Collectors create markets. Creators create what markets collect. Yet on most platforms, those two worlds(creation and collection) rarely stay connected. A creator makes the work and collectors give it value over time, but as that value grows, the creator is often left behind. We think there should be a bridge between creation and collection. That's why QUIVA is building around creator royalties, so when a story continues creating value, its creator can continue sharing in that journey. A healthy creative economy shouldn't reward only the market, it should reward the people who make the market possible.

Collectors create markets. Creators create what markets exist to collect. Quiva believes both deserve to benefit. That's why creator royalties are such an important piece of the future creator economy.

The first sale shouldn't always be the last opportunity. A creator's work can keep finding new readers. It can become more collectible as it grows more valuable and meaningful with time so why should the creator's journey end after the first transaction? That's why we're building for a different future one where creators stay connected to the value their work creates, even as it continues to be collected and traded because great stories don't stop creating value after day one neither should the people who create them.

While most platforms treat a comic like a transaction, we see it as a relationship. a relationship between creators and the stories they bring to life. a relationship between readers and the worlds they support. When a story grows in value the creator shouldn't be left behind. That's why QUIVA is building a creator-first marketplace where ownership and royalties are designed to keep creators connected to their work over time. Because stories don't stop mattering after the first sale, neither should the people who create them. gQuiva🧡🧡

gQuiva guys quick question. If an artist spends months creating a masterpiece and the first collector buys it, then later sells it again for 20x the original price. who created that value? the marketplace... or the artist whose work made the sale possible?

A musician releases a song Fans stream it millions of times Years later, it's still being discovered by new listeners. Why should the value stop flowing to the person who created it? Should creativity have an expiration date? 👀
