What the creator budget pays for
- Agreed deliverables at each creator’s approved rate, never discounted
- Released to a creator only after their post is verified
- Paid out after a short review window, with a statement
- Usage rights listed per deliverable
Chapter IVKnow exactly what you’re paying for
You fund real creator work. We run the campaign.
Every quote has two parts: the creator budget, paid to the creators who publish, and Ìhìn’s management fee for strategy, matching, verification and reporting. The fee is added on top. It never comes out of a creator’s pay.
Your quote, live
Drag the creator budget. Watch every line.
An illustration of the fee rule, not a quote. The bar is drawn to scale. Your written quote, prepared once we understand the campaign, is the only binding figure.

Start with this budget We carry $1,000 into your campaign request; you can change it there.
What the management fee covers
- Discovery and the campaign plan (DAETO)
- Creator vetting, matching and briefing
- Delivery, disclosure and claim checks
- Source-labelled reporting and a retrospective
Why there is a minimum fee
Discovery, vetting and verification take the same care on a small campaign as on a large one, so the fee never drops below $250. Above a $1,000 creator budget it is simply 25%.
How payment works
Funded first, verified on-chain, paid after delivery.
- 01
Accept the quote
Your organization’s owner accepts the written quote together with the client terms.
- 02
Receive the invoice
A numbered invoice for the exact amount, payable in USDC on Base to our published treasury address.
- 03
We verify the payment
We check the transfer on Base ourselves. A screenshot or a pasted transaction hash never marks an invoice paid.
- 04
Creators are confirmed
Only a funded campaign confirms creators. Each one is paid after their post is verified.
There is no card checkout. You pay the invoice from your own wallet, and the campaign moves forward once we have verified the transfer.
Good to know
Fair to clients, fair to creators.
No guarantees
Forecasts are honest ranges. We never guarantee impressions, sign-ups or revenue.
Clear terms
Usage rights, disclosure, cancellation and refund rules are written into the quote.
Partners are separate
If a referral partner introduced you, Ìhìn pays their commission. It is not added to your invoice and never comes from creator pay.
