Ad revenue, brand deals, merch… they don’t cut it alone. They’re inconsistent. They’re slow. And they’re usually not enough.
And banks? Still don’t get creators. Try explaining your YouTube RPM to a loan officer and watch them blink. So here’s the question: How can creators grow as businesses without the funding tools to help them?
To bring one to market, we backed the launch of Royalty.io with a $1 million investment.
It’s a new platform where creators raise money upfront by turning their future YouTube income into digital tokens. Fans buy these tokens and earn a share of the creator’s revenue as it comes in.
"When fans invest, they don’t just watch — they champion you. They start sharing, promoting, and engaging because your success directly impacts theirs. It’s not just support anymore. It's a partnership." — Volodymyr Vasylchuk, CEO at Royalty.io
How Royalty.io Works
YouTube creators can launch their own revenue-backed tokens using Royalty.io. Each token represents a share of their future ad income over a fixed term — 12, 24, or 36 months.
- Fans and investors buy the tokens.
- As the creator earns, they earn too.
- Creators get money upfront to boost performance.
- It’s not a donation. It’s not a tip.
- It’s a revenue-sharing agreement.
Everything runs on the Polygon blockchain. Token holders get paid out monthly, in sync with the creator’s YouTube revenue.
All backed by AIR Media-Tech’s verified payout infrastructure.
Who Can Use Royalty
Royalty.io is built for:
- YouTube creators with consistent earnings.
- Creators who want to raise funds — without giving up equity, control, or time.
- Fans who want to support creators and share in their success.
Whether you’re upgrading your gear, hiring an editor, or funding your next big content series — this is a way to get capital upfront, without waiting for the next brand deal.
For fans, it’s a new way to back the creators they believe in — and earn along the way.

The creator economy is worth hundreds of billions. But it still runs on short-term monetization, not long-term financial tools.
Royalty.io is a step toward changing that.
It turns creator revenue into an investable asset class. Something with structure, transparency, and shared upside.
We backed it because creators deserve better than bootstrapping.
They deserve access to real capital and real financial tools.
This is a start.
