5 chapters covering everything you need to know.

1

What the Secondary Market Means for Creators The secondary market is an Alternative Trading System (ATS) operated by GigaStar Securities LLC where Investors can buy and sell CRTs after the initial offering. For Creators, this means your Investors have a path to liquidity — making your offering more attractive without changing anything about your deal.

2

How Trading Affects Your Revenue Share Agreement Your revenue share percentage and terms are locked in at the time of your offering and never change based on secondary market activity. Distributions go to whoever holds the CRTs at the time of payment. Plus, Creators earn a Platform Technology Fee of 2.5% of the original issuance price per CRT each time tokens trade on the secondary market.

3

Why Liquidity Makes Your Offering More Attractive Investors are significantly more likely to participate in offerings when they know a secondary market exists. The ability to eventually sell removes a major barrier to investment — this directly benefits your raise by increasing demand and potentially reducing time to fund.

4

Understanding Your Token's Market Price Your CRT's market price on the secondary market is driven by your channel's revenue performance, growth trajectory, and overall Investor demand. Strong channel growth and consistent revenue typically translate to higher token valuations, creating a direct link between your content success and market value.

5

Leveraging Market Activity as Social Proof Active trading volume, rising token prices, and a growing Investor base serve as powerful social proof. This market activity can help attract sponsors, brand deals, and new Investors — turning your CRT performance into a credibility signal for your entire Creator business.
