How to Route Sale Earnings From NFT Platforms to Your Community Pool
This guide will show you how you can route a custom p6ercentage of your earnings to a community pool and bolster your signal in the network and improve your work's discoverability online.
STEP 1: Finding Your Community Poolβs Accumulator Address
Each community pool is equipped with an Accumulator Contract Address. This address can be used to route funds into your community pool for Rewards Swaps!
In order to find the accumulator address youβll need to head to your community poolβs landing page on app.rare.xyz. Once there, you can click the βReward Swapβ tab pictured below to reveal the accumulator Contract Address.
STEP 2: Setting up Your Splits Protocol Contract
The Splits Protocol (formerly 0xSplits) is the main mechanism youβll be using to configure splits for your community pool. This contract allows you to route a percentage of funds it receives into multiple addresses.

Name your split contract
Now that your splits contract is set up and ready to go, you can route the earnings you receive from applicable platforms into your splits contract, and subsequently, into your community pool.
STEP 3: Connecting To Other Platforms
Now that your Splits contract is set up you can route your earnings from other platforms to your community pool. We've created step by step guides for each platform below, but first, we'd like to explain the "Feature List".
Each platform listed below comes paired with a feature list detailing all the features the platform does/doesnβt offer when routing your earnings to your community pool.
Here is an outline for what these features mean:
