Real revenue

You keep the majority of every verified follow, settled in Pi. Predictable, transparent, ledger-backed.

No tracking

Contextual targeting only. One dependency-free script, no reader profiling, no invasive pixels.

Your rules

Human-reviewed ads, an origin allowlist for your embed, and the freedom to switch it off whenever you like.

Fair by design

Escrow, trust tiers and per-node caps keep the network honest — protecting you from being tarred with a fraudster's brush.

You stay sovereign

Your node, your community, your decision. FediMedia never forces anything on your users.

Part of something

Join the effort to fund the open social web without selling anyone out.

Estimate your earnings

See what your node could earn

Move the slider to estimate monthly earnings based on verified follows. You keep 50% of each follow; the exact amount depends on the advertiser's Boost price.

  • No cap on earnings — only a starter daily cap for brand-new nodes.
  • Escrow protects you: follows are held briefly, then released to your wallet.
  • Paid out in Pi after a one-time identity check.

Node operator questions

Do I have to let ads run on my node?

No. It's entirely your choice. The widget is yours to place, restrict or remove.

How much can I earn?

You keep 50% of every verified follow your node drives. There is no cap on earnings, though new nodes start with a modest daily release cap that grows as trust is established.

How and when do I get paid?

Earnings are held briefly in escrow, then released to your wallet and paid out in Pi after identity verification.

Will this track my users?

Never. There are no ad cookies, no fingerprinting and no personal profiles. Targeting is contextual and anonymous.

What if an ad is inappropriate for my community?

Every ad is human-reviewed before it runs, and you can restrict or remove the widget at any time.
