There are two different ways to leave Zayvay as a creator.
Stop creating, keep your viewer side.
From Settings → Account in Forge, click Close my Vault. This:
- Unpublishes every Canvas at once.
- Removes your Vault from the Directory.
- Stops all subscriptions (subscribers keep access through the period they paid for, then nothing renews).
- Cancels future Drops.
- Releases your slug after 30 days (no one can grab it before then).
- Keeps your underlying account, viewer side intact. You can still earn Nasq Back Points, leave Echoes, donate to charity.
You can reopen a Vault later — your Canvases come back as drafts.
Delete the whole account.
If you want to leave Zayvay entirely, see Closing your account. That removes the underlying account, the Vault, and everything connected.
A few things to handle before either path:
- Cash out any USD balance. After closure, balances under $25 are forfeited.
- Download anything from your Vault you want to keep. See Backing up your content.
- Notify subscribers if you want to — there's no automatic message sent on closure.
There's no "pause my Vault" middle option. If you're going on a break and want everything to stay live, just stop publishing — your Vault stays up and active Nasqs keep earning.
