Founding developers

• 0% for 12 months. From the day you’re made a founding developer, UpFork takes no share of your sales: every sale is paid straight into your own wallet, in full. After the year, the normal rule, counting from then. UpFork's share is 20%, taken as whole sales: the 5th, 10th, 15th… sale of each product is paid to UpFork's wallet, and every other sale straight to yours, in full, starting with the first four. So the 5th sale after your year is the first of UpFork’s.
• Your listing, prepared for you. Send the link to your GitHub repo. UpFork writes the description, makes the pictures and the live demo, writes the AI summary that assistants read, and runs the install check. You see it before it goes live.
• An article and lessons under your name. Written with AI from your code: how it works, what was hard and how it was solved, with the lessons an assistant can find later. You read them first, and the article is yours to post on your own dev.to account too, pointing back to UpFork’s as the original.
• A place in the launch. In UpFork’s launch posts, an Instagram reel, and the Founders section of the home page.
• A lasting badge. “Founding developer” on your public page and your PDF résumé, for good, after the free year too.

• It’s non-exclusive. Keep selling your work anywhere else, at any price.
• Your code, your license, your prices. Free or paid is your call. A free product links to its GitHub repo, so people who like it find your code and your stars.
• Your money. Buyers pay in USDT straight into your wallet. UpFork never holds it, so there’s no payout threshold and nothing held back. The fees page has the details.

Sales. UpFork started in September 2026 and is small, so we can’t promise you any number of them. What we promise is the work above: a listing that’s ready, writing that explains your work, and a place in front of the people UpFork reaches.
