Knowledge base
Everything you need to understand the Ditto economy, start creating, and start earning.
01
The four questions every new user asks.
Ditto is the first economy for AI creativity. Creators earn royalties every time their work is remixed. GPU owners earn for every generation they power. Users participate with DITTO — the token that ties the economy together.
Make AI art (or upload existing work), share it to the feed, and you automatically earn a royalty every time someone dittos your piece. The earlier you are in a remix chain, the more you earn.
Install the Ditto node on your gaming PC. It picks up AI generation jobs in the background and pays you DITTO for each one. The more VRAM you have, the more jobs you qualify for.
Not to join the waitlist — just an email. A crypto wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any Base-compatible wallet) is needed to receive royalties, hold DITTO, and participate in governance. You can connect one whenever you’re ready.
02
The primitives behind the Ditto economy.
A Ditto is a one-click remix. When you tap the 〃 button on any creation, you create a new piece derived from the original — and the original creator earns a royalty automatically.
Royalties are paid on every Ditto. Payments flow on-chain in DITTO tokens, split across the remix lineage: a portion to the direct parent, and smaller portions to every earlier creator in the chain.
Every Ditto is linked to the piece it came from, forming a chain of authorship. If A is dittoed by B, and B is dittoed by C, then C’s royalty is split between A and B. The longer the chain, the more hands earn.
DITTO is the native utility token of the Ditto economy. It’s used to pay for generations, distribute royalties, reward GPU providers, stake for priority, and vote on governance.
03
Four things to know before your first upload.
Use the Studio to generate images (and videos soon) from text prompts. 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? Upload it straight into Ditto. Uploaded work is still fully ownable, remixable, and earns royalties just like AI-generated pieces.
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 is removed.
Your Studio shows live earnings per piece, per remix chain, and per timeframe. Withdraw DITTO to your wallet any time — there are no hold periods.
04
From installer to first payout in four steps.
Any NVIDIA GPU with 8 GB+ VRAM (RTX 3070 and up). Windows 10/11 or Linux, stable internet, and a wallet address to receive payouts.
Download the Ditto node, paste your wallet address, hit Start. The node runs in the background and can be paused whenever you need your GPU for games.
Jobs are routed to available GPUs based on VRAM, uptime, and a reputation score built from completed jobs. Higher-reputation nodes get priority on the best-paying work.
Your Provider dashboard shows jobs completed, DITTO earned, uptime, and your rank on the leaderboard. Earnings settle on-chain continuously.
