Overview#

This week we introduced the Ledger, the system that tracks activity and powers creator earnings on Playbooks. It is designed to make revenue share more transparent, more auditable, and easier to follow as the platform grows.

The Ledger is a foundational part of how we think about the Playbooks economy. It connects product usage to creator rewards in a way that can scale with the network.

What's New#

• Added the Ledger as the system of record for creator earnings
• Added daily processing with a rolling verification lag
• Added account-level and play-level performance tracking
• Added transfer and payout pipelines for verified merchant accounts
• Added a 60/40 revenue split in favor of creators

How It Works#

The Ledger runs on a daily basis and measures verified network activity across the platform. From there, it determines how much value each play contributed during the given period and records that performance as a permanent ledger entry.

That flow is built around a few core ideas:

• only verified activity should influence earnings
• the record should be immutable once written
• creators should be able to understand where their revenue is coming from

Public and Private Visibility#

The Ledger uses a dual-ledger model. On one side, Playbooks can show account-level network activity in a privacy-conscious way. On the other, creators can see more granular play-level performance and earnings tied to their own work.

This gives the platform more transparency without exposing information that should remain private.

Transfers and Payouts#

Once Ledger activity has been processed, Playbooks creates transfers for the plays that earned credits. Those transfers roll up into payouts for accounts that have completed merchant setup and remain in good standing.

Merchant setup is handled through Stripe and is required before funds can be distributed to your bank account.

Important Details#

• the Ledger runs daily with a rolling 30-day verification lag
• only accounts and teams in good standing are eligible for processing
• transfers and payouts require an active merchant account
• payout activity is designed to stay automated, while still giving creators control from settings

That's all for now#

The Ledger is an important step toward the larger creator economy we want Playbooks to support. We're excited to keep building the financial layer behind the platform so developers can earn from the value they contribute.
