Everything you need to understand the Ditto economy, start creating, and start earning.

A 90-second introduction to the Ditto economy.

01

Protected Innovation

The patent-pending technology that makes the Ditto economy possible.

Patent-pending invisible commands

A proprietary command layer that enables seamless creator actions without breaking the social experience.

Patent-pending remix chain technology

On-chain attribution that traces every Ditto back through its full lineage of creators — automatically.

Creator-owned monetization infrastructure

Royalties, payouts, and ownership rights belong to the creators who made the work. No platform middleman.

Blockchain-powered royalty payouts

Smart-contract payouts in DITTO. No invoices, no holds, no opaque accounting — every cent is auditable.

Getting Started

The four questions every new user asks.

What is Ditto?

Ditto is the first AI-native creator economy. Creators earn royalties every time their work is dittoed. Over time, GPU providers will be able to earn by powering AI generation jobs. Users participate with DITTO — the token that connects creation, compute, ownership, and rewards.

How do I earn as a creator?

Create AI art, upload existing work, or share original content into the Ditto feed. When someone dittos your piece, you automatically earn royalties. The earlier you are in a remix chain, the more value can flow back to you.

How do I earn as a GPU provider?

GPU provider rewards are coming soon. In the future, users will be able to run a Ditto node on their GPU machine, power AI generation jobs, and earn DITTO for contributing compute to the network.

Do I need a wallet?

Not to join the community or explore Ditto. A crypto wallet — such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any Base-compatible wallet — is needed to receive royalties, hold DITTO, earn provider payouts, and participate in governance. You can connect one whenever you’re ready.

03

Core Concepts

The primitives behind the Ditto economy.

What is a “Ditto”?

A Ditto is a one-click creative action. When you tap the 〃 button on any creation, you create a new piece derived from the original — and the original creator earns automatically.

How do royalties work?

Royalties are paid every time a creation is dittoed. Payments flow on-chain in DITTO tokens and are split across the remix lineage: a portion to the direct parent, and smaller portions to earlier creators in the chain.

What is the remix chain?

The remix chain is the record of where a creation came from. Every Ditto is linked to its source, creating a visible chain of authorship. If A is dittoed by B, and B is dittoed by C, then C’s royalty can flow back to both A and B.

What is the DITTO token?

DITTO is the native utility token of the Ditto economy. It is used to pay for generations, distribute royalties, reward creators, support future GPU provider payouts, stake for priority, and vote on governance.

For Creators — Quick Guide

Four things to know before your first upload.

01

Creating with AI

Use the Studio to generate images from text prompts, with video support coming soon. Pick a style, hit generate, and your piece lands in your Studio — and the public feed if you choose to share it.

02

Uploading existing work

Already have art or original content? Upload it directly into Ditto. Uploaded work can still be owned, dittoed, and monetized through remix-chain royalties.

03

NSFW labeling

If your piece is 18+, toggle the mature-content flag when you share. Labeled content is only visible to users who have explicitly opted in. Unlabeled NSFW content may be removed.

04

Tracking royalties

Your Studio shows live earnings by piece, remix chain, and timeframe. Withdraw DITTO to your wallet once earnings are available.

05

For GPU Providers \u2014 Coming Soon

Ditto\u2019s decentralized compute layer is planned for a future release.

01

Planned hardware support

Ditto is being designed for GPU machines capable of powering AI generation jobs. Target requirements may include NVIDIA GPUs with strong VRAM capacity, stable internet, and a wallet address for future payouts.

02

Planned node installer

The future Ditto node is intended to make contributing compute simple: download the node, connect your wallet, and run jobs in the background when your GPU is available.

03

How jobs may be assigned

Jobs are expected to be routed to available GPUs based on factors like VRAM, uptime, and reputation. Higher-reputation nodes may receive priority access to better-paying work.

04

Future earnings dashboard

The Provider dashboard is planned to show completed jobs, DITTO earned, uptime, and leaderboard rank once GPU provider rewards are live.

06

Glossary

Seven terms you'll see everywhere on Ditto.

Ditto
The action of creating from an existing piece with one click. Also the name of the platform and the native token, DITTO.
Remix chain
The ordered lineage of creations derived from an original work. Royalties flow to participants across the chain.
DITTO
The native utility token of the platform. Used for generations, royalties, future GPU rewards, staking, and governance.
GPU provider
A future network participant who runs a Ditto node and contributes compute to the network in exchange for DITTO.
Base
The Ethereum Layer-2 network Ditto is built on. Chosen for low fees, fast confirmations, and a growing creator ecosystem.
Staking
Locking DITTO to earn priority access, rewards, and governance rights. Unstaking has a short cooldown.
Royalty
An automatic on-chain payment to a creator triggered when their work is dittoed.
