Overview
The Civitai Creator Program is Civitai's way of letting its creator community earn cash from their work. Creators earn Buzz by developing and sharing AI models, then 'Bank' that Buzz each month to claim a share of a Creator Compensation Pool that Civitai funds from a portion of its revenue (based on Buzz purchased). To join you need a Creator Score higher than 10k and an active Civitai Green membership. Each month has a Banking Phase (bank Buzz to secure your share) and an Extraction Phase (keep banked Buzz to get paid, or Extract it back to your wallet). Banking is capped by membership tier — Bronze 100k, Silver 125% of your peak earning month (1M cap), Gold 150% with no cap. Cash withdrawals unlock once you have at least $50 Ready to Withdraw.
💡 Insider tip
Two gates only: a Creator Score above 10k and an active Green membership. Higher tiers (Silver/Gold) don't raise your earnings rate — they just raise how much Buzz you can Bank each month. Banked Buzz is consumed monthly unless you Extract it in the last three days (Extraction Phase), and the first 100k of Extraction is fee-free.
Earnings Breakdown
Payout Model
Each month Civitai allocates a Creator Compensation Pool from a portion of its revenue (based on Buzz purchased). Creators earn Buzz by developing and sharing models, then Bank that Buzz during the Banking Phase to secure a share of the pool; during the Extraction Phase they keep banked Buzz to get paid in cash or Extract it back. Withdrawals unlock at $50 'Ready to Withdraw' via Civitai's payment partner.
