How to Route Sale Earnings From NFT Platforms to Your Community Pool

Once there, you can click the “Reward Swap” 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 you’ll be using to configure splits for your community pool. This contract allows you to route a percentage of funds it receives into multiple addresses.

   click the "sign up with email"
3. Create a new split contract
