Curators are the users who launch trends on Noise. They spot a subject early, give it a page, and earn from every buy and sell of the trends they launch.

​
Launching a trend

  1. Name it. One specific subject that people follow. Noise checks the name first. See How We Verify Trends.
  2. Add a cover image. Every trend needs one. It is the first thing people see.
  3. Write a thesis. Up to 280 characters, in your own words, on why the trend matters. This step is optional. If you write one, it stays at the top of the trend’s page.
  4. Launch. Noise creates the trend’s 100 million tokens on Base and pays the cost. The trend goes live immediately and is open to buyers.
Curators receive no free tokens. A curator who wants a position buys it from the pool like anyone else. Each trend’s page shows its curator and their holdings, so their conviction is visible to everyone.

​
How curators earn

A trend’s curator gets 30% of every fee on every buy and every sell of that trend, for as long as people buy and sell it. For example, on a $100 buy the fee is about $1, of which the curator receives about 30 cents.
  • Paid in USDC, straight to your Noise wallet.
  • Paid as it happens, usually in the same transaction as the buy or sell. Very small amounts wait until they reach about $1, then pay out with a later one.
  • Nothing to claim. Earnings arrive automatically.
  • Locked in at launch. Noise never holds a curator’s earnings, and it can’t change, redirect, or stop a curator’s share.
Studio, on your profile, shows what each of your trends has paid you.

Who can curate

Curating is invite-only for now.

What makes a good trend

Early. The sooner a trend launches, the more time it has to grow on Noise. Specific. “Run clubs” is a trend. “Fitness” is a category. Durable. It should still have something to follow next month. A one-day news story will not. In short: find something worth following, name it clearly, and explain why it matters.
