📸How Clip Finance Works

Step-by-Step Flow

1. Upload Your Clip

  • Drag & drop any livestream clip, or video clip in general (up to 100MB).

  • Add a title and description.

2. Community Votes

  • Each wallet gets one vote per clip (up or down).

  • Votes update in real time and can be changed anytime.

  • The result is a live leaderboard of trending clips.

3. Earn Rewards Rewards are distributed in cycles. For each cycle, the system looks at the last hours of voting activity and pays out based on that window.

  • Allocation split: 45% to clippers, 55% to voters.

  • Funding: each cycle’s pool is seeded with 80% of the SOL balance in the dev wallet after a fees claim, then transferred to the rewards contract for distribution.

  • Eligibility window: only clips and votes from the trailing 12 hours are considered.

  • Automation: no manual intervention—payouts execute trustlessly each cycle.


Who Gets Paid?

This is critical: clippers get paid, not streamers. (voters also get paid)

  • Streamers already monetize through their platforms and tokens (e.g. Pump.fun).

  • Clippers are the unsung heroes who capture, edit, and share the content that drives virality.

  • Clip Finance is built to reward the clippers — the community curators who fuel the ecosystem.

  • We also reward users of our platform, users who vote, engage content gets paid.


Why This Matters

  • Clips are the atomic unit of modern internet culture.

  • A single viral clip can make a streamer famous, send a token trending, or spark an entire meme cycle.

  • By rewarding clippers, Clip Finance incentivizes the constant creation and distribution of these cultural moments, which in turn drives more engagement, more trading, and more growth for the ecosystem.
