Cash Out VC
VoteCraft always takes a cut on cash-outs — but that cut goes down as the community grows.

Example
A Champion in a 500-user community:
Community fee: 30% − 10% badge bonus = 20% fee
Cash out 500 VC → VoteCraft keeps $1.00 → you get $4.00
Where the fee goes
VoteCraft's fee funds platform operations, game developer partnerships, and nonprofit onboarding. As the community grows, these costs are spread across more users — so the fee drops for everyone.
VoteCraft will always take a minimum 5% fee to keep the platform running. We believe transparency about this is part of building a better economic model.
Building a Capitalism + Altruism Economy
Traditional capitalism says your money serves you. Traditional charity says your money serves others. VoteCraft says: why not both?
How this cash-out model proves it
When you cash out VC, VoteCraft takes a fee. That fee funds the platform that connects donors to nonprofits and supports indie game developers. As more people participate, the platform becomes more efficient — so the fee goes down.
This is capitalism working correctly: competition for your participation drives costs down and value up. But unlike traditional capitalism, every transaction on this platform has already funded a cause, supported a creator, and built your civic identity.
What makes this different
- Every dollar does double duty — you get a game AND a nonprofit gets funded. One payment, two outcomes.
- Your loyalty has real value — VC coin isn't just points. As the community grows, your VC becomes worth more. Early supporters benefit the most.
- Transparency is the product — you see exactly where every dollar goes. The fee is visible, the split is visible, the milestone progress is visible. No hidden margins.
- Growth benefits everyone — when someone new joins, YOUR fee goes down. Your self-interest and the community's interest are the same thing.
The experiment
We're testing whether an economy can run on reciprocity instead of pure extraction. If 10,000 people participate, the fee drops to 5% — proving that altruism at scale is economically sustainable. Your participation isn't just a transaction. It's a vote for a different kind of economy.
