In-World Purchases (IWP)

Introduction

In-World Purchases (IWP) are a way for World Creators to monetize their worlds by offering exclusive items, access to special areas, or other benefits in exchange for Gold.

Revenue Share

Creators earn 70% of the Gold they collect from In-World Purchases. This is deposited directly into their Creator Exchange as Earned Gold. Or you can enable IWP earnings to be deposited directly into your World Wallet.
