Nearly five months ago, MyShell launched a revolutionary AI app revenue-sharing system—the Patron Badge—empowering users to become sponsors of their favorite AI applications. Through this feature, you can collect badges by staking Shell Coin (an off-chain score) in the AI apps you believe in. As these applications grow and gain traction, you earn points. Later, you can exchange these badges for a share of the app’s revenue, earning returns based on both the app's utility and your early support.
The Patron Badge creates a win-win situation between creators and patrons. Creators receive support and advocates, while patrons can invest and profit from applications they helped propel to success.

After several months of data collection, we’ve observed an interesting trend in user behavior. It appears that "Patron Badge," our experiment in cultivating an open creator economy, has validated many of our core beliefs about creativity-driven economic forces.
In this article, we’ll share some fascinating data and trends, and further explain how they will shape the future of the MyShell AI creator economy.
Key Takeaways
-
MyShell rewards top creators with exceptional AI experiences.
-
MyShell empowers individual creators to build complex AI applications rivaling those developed by companies.
-
Early signs of a content and attention economy are emerging.
Creator Capital
When Patron Badge first launched, it was a game-changer for MyShell. Now let’s look at some of the most popular AI app creators.
A creator from South Korea emerged as a rising star on MyShell with his The Golden Casino. This is a casino simulator (not a real gambling platform), featuring 5 characters, 3 mini-games, and a robust in-app economy.
He maintains a portfolio of 21 AI apps, including 3 widgets, each attracting diverse user bases and Patron Badge supporters. This creator holds at least 7 Creator Passes, earning approximately $10,000 from Creator Pass cards (each worth around $1,330), plus generating substantial Shell Coin through Patron Badges.
His The Golden Casino app launched in mid-April and experienced immediate rapid growth. As shown in the chart, prior to April 15, the creator earned roughly 20,000 points per day. Then came the Pro Config release—his earnings not only increased but doubled, surpassing 40,000 points. This demonstrates that when creators optimize and iterate their apps, they can achieve greater popularity and higher returns.
Beyond its success, the app has garnered support from nearly 50 patrons and ranks high on the Patron Badge TVL leaderboard. As it continues to spread, the creator earns daily points, while these 50 forward-thinking patrons are rewarded for their early investment and support.
This is a virtuous cycle: the explosive growth of an AI application enriches not only its creator but also the patrons who recognized its potential before it went mainstream. This symbiotic relationship, driven by aligned incentives, lies at the heart of MyShell’s decentralized creator economy.
The Era of Independent Creators Has Arrived
AI applications built on MyShell have reached new heights, matching the quality of products developed by small AI firms.
Take the recent internet sensation—Clay filter. An AI photo editor that transforms real-life photos into claymation-style images reminiscent of *Shaun the Sheep*. The company behind it was acquired for millions, and the filter generated $25,000 in revenue during its first week. But do we really need massive capital, large teams, and entire companies to build an AI app and start earning? MyShell says no.
Building outstanding AI apps doesn’t always require massive funding. One of our brilliant creators, Kiko, developed a photo editor with five unique effects in just one day, adding more features throughout the following week. Her work has attracted a large following, and within three days she rapidly launched two additional innovative AI photo editors—one as an anime art generator and another as a background remover.
This example illustrates how MyShell accelerates creators’ development cycles. Once they master the professional configuration tools, launching new features or even entire apps takes just 1–2 days—this speed exponentially increases the value creators can generate.
Of course, excellence is rewarded. Just over a week after launching the Photo Enhancer, it surpassed Aria’s peak performance, generating over 10,000 points per day.
This is the era of independent developers and creators. Forget team-building, fundraising, and endless restructuring. On MyShell, your vision can become a profitable reality on your own terms.
Memes: The Attention Economy
We’ve also observed that price fluctuations of a few apps correlate with viral social media exposure—indicating organic hype cycles emerging within our ecosystem.
The Patron Badge experienced a surge in popularity. Doge’s Patron Badge saw four distinct waves of hype since the AI app’s launch, peaking between May 24 and 27, coinciding with the passing of Kabosu, the iconic dog behind the original Doge meme.
As the MyShell system gains more liquidity in the future, we expect crypto-savvy users to become increasingly adept at identifying and profiting from high-potential viral content. This increased liquidity may also drive greater demand for hyped-up content.
The investments in AI apps mentioned in this article are just the tip of the iceberg.
As the ecosystem grows, MyShell empowers creators to turn their ideas into reality. We can only imagine the breakthrough applications that will emerge over time.
This article merely scratches the surface of the potential of AI apps on MyShell. The Patron Badge we discussed is just the beginning! We are committed to educating and guiding creators on the opportunities available on MyShell. With us, your AI app can become a powerful engine driving massive user engagement and economic returns.
