Can small creators still compete?
Yes. This contest rewards creators that actively promote Caster and bring users onto the platform, not simply creators with the largest existing audiences.

Why is Caster offering such great benefits in this Event?
Caster is preparing for its full global launch, and we believe the creators who help build the community during its earliest stages should share in its long-term success. As Caster grows, Founding Creators will always be recognized as the creators who were there from the beginning.

Every major platform had a group of early creators who established themselves before the platform experienced significant growth. Those creators benefited the most from positioning themselves early and becoming part of the platform's original community.

This Event is designed to reward creators who get in on the ground floor, help establish the community, provide valuable feedback, and position themselves early as the platform expands.

The creators who help lay the foundation of the community deserve benefits that will not be available later, including enhanced earnings opportunities, exclusive programs, and permanent Founding Creator recognition.

During this Contest, if you would like to provide feedback or make suggestions, please Contact Us.
