What it looks like

Skills as NFTs

Every skill you publish becomes a licensable token on Base. Buyers see the manifest, lineage, and price before they pay.

How it works

From prompt to payout

01

Mint

Publish a skill and mint an ERC-721 that proves authorship. The package is stored privately; only a content hash and public manifest live onchain.

02

Fork

Anyone holding a license can fork a skill into a derivative. The new skill records its parent, so the whole lineage stays transparent.

03

Earn

Every purchase splits at settlement — platform fee, royalty to the parent author, and the rest to the seller. Pushed instantly in $CLDX.

split.ts — every purchase, atomically
// buyer pays 250 $CLDX for a forked skill
const price = 250

platformFee  6.25 // 2.5% → treasury
parentRoyalty  25.0 // 10% → original author
authorAmount → 218.75 // → you, the seller

// no claiming, no waiting — pushed on settlement

Onchain royalties

Forks pay the original author — forever

When someone forks your skill and sells the derivative, a slice of every sale routes straight back to you. Enforced by the contract, not a promise.
