Right now we're opening Vaults to creators in small batches, so becoming a creator starts with a short application.

1. Apply. Go to zayvay.com/creator-signup and tell us:

  • Your name.
  • A working email address.
  • Where you're based.
  • A link to your work — YouTube, a podcast, a site, anywhere we can see what you do.
  • A line or two on what you make.

You'll also confirm you've read the Creator Beta Terms. The short version: you own everything you publish, any music you use needs a documented license you can show us, Zayvay is in beta so the terms can change, and no money is paid out during the beta — provisional balances are wiped when it ends.

2. We review it. Every application is read by a person, not a filter. There's nothing else for you to do at this step.

3. You get an invite. If it's a fit, we email you an invite link. Click it and your creator account is created on the spot — no separate password or second sign-up. You land straight in Forge, the workspace where you'll run everything.

4. Name your Vault. In Forge you'll pick your Vault name and one to three categories. That takes about a minute.

5. Go live. Forge then shows a short checklist: publish your first Canvas, add it to your Vault layout, and preview your Vault. Publishing a Canvas on its own doesn't put it on your public Vault — you have to place it in a section. The checklist walks you through it.

Before you can earn

To turn on paid features (Drops, Subscriptions, brand campaigns) you'll also need:

You can build and publish before those are done — you just can't take payment until both are complete.

A few notes

  • Already a viewer on Zayvay? Apply with the same email. When you accept the invite, we upgrade your existing account to a creator account — you won't end up with two.
  • Under 18? A parent sets up the account. See Junior creators.
  • Didn't hear back yet? Applications are reviewed in batches. If it's a fit, the invite lands in your inbox — keep an eye on it.
