Sell access with a token, not a subscription.

What Keyva actually is

Keyva is a tool for selling access to private content. If you publish something people pay to see — a photo set, a video library, a private group, a course — Keyva is how you charge for it and how you let paying people in.

The difference is what the customer buys. Instead of a monthly subscription billed to a card, they buy a token you issue. Their wallet holds it, and anything you've gated checks for it and opens. Stop holding the token and the door closes again.

That one change fixes three things at once: you get paid instantly instead of in 30 days, no payment processor can cut you off because none is involved, and your customer can sell the token on when they're finished rather than losing what they spent.

Every creator is one policy update from zero

The card networks decided years ago which industries they would rather not serve. Adult is top of that list — which is why creators in it live with 30-day holds, sudden freezes, chargebacks they can't contest, and account terminations that arrive by email with no appeal.

Then the platforms tightened too. Discord rolled out age verification to all users globally in March 2026. The pattern is always the same: the rules change, and the person who built an audience is the one who loses it.

The common thread is the account. Every one of those failures needs something to suspend. So don't have one.

What a creator actually keeps

Platform fees are the visible cost. The invisible ones hurt more: waiting a month to get paid, losing chargebacks by default, and building on an account someone else can switch off.

You are not opening an account, handing over an email, or leaving a card on file with a company whose breach notification you'll read about in two years. You hold a token in a wallet you already have.

Leaving is the part that's different. Cancel a subscription and your money is spent. Sell a pass and you get something back — maybe more than you paid, if the creator got bigger while you were inside.

The honest bit

Pre-launch means pre-launch. Nothing above is running at scale yet and no token has been issued. If you're here to farm an airdrop, there isn't one to farm.

Tokens go down as well as up. A pass that gains value if a creator grows can just as easily lose it — that's the trade for being able to sell it at all, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

Rules vary by country. Keyva handles payment and access; creators remain responsible for what they publish and where they're allowed to publish it.
