Everything you need to understand the Ditto economy, start creating, and start earning.
A 90-second introduction to the Ditto economy.
01
The patent-pending technology that makes the Ditto economy possible.
A proprietary command layer that enables seamless creator actions without breaking the social experience.
On-chain attribution that traces every Ditto back through its full lineage of creators — automatically.
Royalties, payouts, and ownership rights belong to the creators who made the work. No platform middleman.
Smart-contract payouts in DITTO. No invoices, no holds, no opaque accounting — every cent is auditable.

The four questions every new user asks.
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.
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.
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.
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
The primitives behind the Ditto economy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
04
Four things to know before your first upload.
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.
Already have art or original content? Upload it directly into Ditto. Uploaded work can still be owned, dittoed, and monetized through remix-chain royalties.
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.
Your Studio shows live earnings by piece, remix chain, and timeframe. Withdraw DITTO to your wallet once earnings are available.
05
Ditto\u2019s decentralized compute layer is planned for a future release.
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.
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.
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.
The Provider dashboard is planned to show completed jobs, DITTO earned, uptime, and leaderboard rank once GPU provider rewards are live.
