Back the films you believe in
Send USDC directly to any AI filmmaker on Lyra Story. No platform cut, no approval queue — funds land in their Creators Fund instantly and are withdrawable at any time.
How donations work
Sign up — wallet auto-created
When you create a Lyra Story account, a non-custodial Privy embedded wallet is generated for you automatically. No seed phrase to save, no browser extension to install.
Send USDC on Base
Donations are settled on Base (Ethereum L2) in USDC. Gas fees are fractions of a cent. You can fund from an existing wallet or onramp directly with Coinbase.
Instant credit, withdrawable anytime
Funds arrive in the creator's Creators Fund immediately. They can withdraw to any wallet at any time — or leave the balance as Community Backing to unlock larger pool requests.
Your Privy wallet — set up automatically
Lyra Story uses Privy embedded wallets so you never have to touch a browser extension or write down a seed phrase. Your wallet is secured by your login credentials and can be exported to any self-custody wallet at any time.
- Created on sign-up — nothing to install
- Non-custodial: Lyra Story never holds your keys
- Export to MetaMask or any EVM wallet whenever you want
- Supports USDC on Base out of the box
Community Backing
Donations left in a creator's Creators Fund count as Community Backing. The more backing a creator has, the larger the requests they can make from the Common Pool — a shared treasury for serious AI film projects.
No approval, no lock-up
Unlike crowdfunding platforms, creators don't need to reach a funding goal before they can access donations. Every USDC that arrives is instantly available to withdraw — or to keep in the Creators Fund as backing.
