Mintstars: What to Know Before Choosing Your Adult Content Platform

Platform & Audience

MintStars is a newer player (founded in 2022) positioning itself as an “ethical,” creator-first alternative to OnlyFans. It’s a subscription platform for adult creators and their fans, with a tech-savvy twist: MintStars is powered by cryptocurrency (blockchain) behind the scenes. The target audience includes fans interested in exclusive content and creators who want more control over their earnings and content rights. MintStars is relatively small and does not bring significant built-in traffic – in fact, the platform “relies heavily on the performer to drive their own traffic”. There’s no robust internal search or recommendation feed; it’s more like a private club you invite your fans to. That being said, one of my longest lasting subscribers there did end up just stumbling upon me there. While MintStars may not have the huge audience of OF, it differentiates itself by creator-friendly policies, extremely high payouts, and support for niche fetish content that other sites ban.

Features

MintStars combines familiar fanclub features with innovative content selling options (The following is an exerpt from this recent post where we did a deep dive on mintstars):

• “Subscriptions: Just like other fan sites, you can offer monthly subscriptions. Fans subscribe to your profile for a monthly fee that you set, and in return they get access to your exclusive feed of content (photos, videos, etc.) and possibly other perks you decide on. What’s unique is that on MintStars, subscription content isn’t just for viewing. It comes as collectible items (more on that in the next bullet point). For pricing, you have full control to choose what makes sense for your content and audience. And remember, MintStars takes 0% of your subscription earnings. You charge $20/month, you get the full $20 (the fan pays an extra 5% fee to the platform). This is a big contrast to sites that might take 20% or more of your sub income. Y’all the IRS (or equivalent) takes enough of our pay. It’s about time a platform is doing this for us!
• Single Content Sales (Collectibles): Besides (or in addition to) subscriptions, you can sell individual pieces of content. Think of these like clips or photo sets that fans can buy à la carte. MintStars leverages NFTs to let you create limited-edition content drops. For example, you could post a spicy photoshoot or a solo video and say only 10 copies are available for sale. Upload that (with their lightning fast uploader – in comparison to other platforms) and then fans can buy them as digital collectibles. You set whatever price you want for each. Because these are NFTs, fans own that content item once they buy it (they get a token proving ownership) and can even resell it later. This creates a bit of trading card excitement around your content and can drive fans to snag items quickly. The key point is you get paid upfront for each sale, with no cut taken by MintStars, and you’re also entitled to royalties if that item is resold (see next bullet). Breath though, this is only allowed on the platform. And though they are granted a non-exclusive license to view and resell, that original is still our property, as stated in the user terms and conditions for fans in section 12 And 10. (Big tip here, watermark everything!)
• Resale Royalties: This is where MintStars truly stands out. Every time a fan resells one of your content NFTs to another fan on the platform, you earn a royalty automatically. You can set the percentage for your resale royalties (common is around 10%. Personally, I set my royalties to 30%. Is that likely to deter resale or even sales overall? Yes. But that’s not my overall main purpose for the platform, so that fits with my business model.). For example, a fan buys your clip for $10 and later another user buys it from them for $15; that reseller fan keeps most of the profit, but you would get $4.50 (30%) from that resale without lifting a finger. It’s passive income that can continue long after your initial sale. MintStars’ model actively encourages fans to promote and re-sell content for this reason, creating a win-win: fans earn, and you keep earning too.
• Tips and Custom Requests: Beyond structured sales, MintStars allows good ol’ tipping. This is a main reason I love this platform. Fans can tip any amount to show appreciation, either through the platform or via MintPay links you share. Some creators might use this as a way to accept payments for custom content or special requests. Because tips have zero fees taken out on the creator side, MintStars is great for accepting payment for one-off services like customs, sexting sessions, etc. The fan simply sends the tip and you deliver the agreed content privately. All of it stays within MintStars’ ecosystem (safe and discreet).
• Referrals: Now, I’m having a hard time remembering off the top of my head, but it was either late 2024, or early 2025 they launched their creator referral program. It’s extremely simple and follows most platforms format. Simply invite a friend using your link, your friend verifies their account, and then This is where mint steps up the game. Once that friend earns their first $20 on the platform, you are earning a $25 reward. That $25 reward is paid out once you have reached five referrals.

Community and Support

The MintStars team is PHENOMENAL They are always working at 119% and busting their butts to shake through any growing pains and help every step of the way. That is purely my experience and many others. Because it’s smaller, creators often get more personalized support (the founders have pitched it as a platform built to empower sex workers). They even have a creators discord where team members, are there for creators. If you bring your fanbase, MintStars ensures you maximize earnings from them.

Payout & Commission

MintStars has a radically different payout model: creators keep 100% of the prices they set on content and subscriptions. In other words, MintStars technically takes a 0% cut from creators. The platform makes money by charging fans a fee on transactions (roughly 10% on top of the listed price). For example, if you price a video at $10, the fan might pay ~$11 total, where that extra $1 goes to MintStars for processing and platform costs. This is an unusual but very attractive model for creators: you earn the full amount you wanted, and the customer essentially covers the site fee. Payment processing on MintStars is done via cryptocurrency (with a third-party crypto payment processor), which is what enables this model. Because crypto transactions have lower fees and fewer content restrictions, MintStars can operate without taking a big cut from creators and without paying high fees to banks. However, fans can still pay with regular methods. MintStars handles the crypto conversion in the back end, so neither the creator nor the fan needs to be crypto-savvy. This also means payouts to creators aren’t dependent on traditional banks.

• MintStars’ payout speed and convenience are top-notch:
  • No minimum payouts. you can withdraw any amount, large or small.
  • On-demand, instant payouts – creators don’t wait for weekly cycles; you can cash out whenever and the payment is processed immediately. This is possible because crypto processing means once a payment from a fan is confirmed, those funds aren’t subject to lengthy hold periods or chargeback windows like credit cards (crypto payments are irreversible). Essentially, you get paid in real-time.
  • Payout methods: MintStars can pay creators via various methods: direct debit card transfers, bank transfers like ACH, and of course cryptocurrency payouts.

The bottom line is MintStars is designed to maximize creator earnings: no platform fee out of your pocket, and you don’t have to wait long to get your money. For high-volume earners, keeping that extra 20% (compared to other sites) is huge. Do note that fans might hesitate at the ~10% surcharge on purchases, but many are willing if they know it supports the creator

Content Policy

MintStars is by far the most fetish-friendly and lenient in terms of content among these platforms. Since all payments are processed via crypto (bypassing Visa/Mastercard’s strict content rules), MintStars’ content guidelines are basically only governed by actual law and creator consent.

They allow a much wider range of fetishes, including many that “may not be allowed on other websites that adhere to strict payment processing regulations.“. Examples of fetishes explicitly permitted on MintStars (as long as they’re legal and consensual) include:

• Consensual Non-Consent (CNC) roleplay, i.e. rape fantasy content, which is banned on OF, can be done on MintStars with appropriate content warnings.
• Hypnosis fetish (hypnotizing a viewer or a partner).
• Intense Bondage (e.g. four-limb bondage) that some platforms might flag as too extreme.
• Blood play and other bodily fluid, yes. MintStars allows things like menstrual blood scenes, impact play that causes bleeding, urine/vomit fetish content, etc., provided it’s consensual and legal. They do ask creators to put content warnings in descriptions for such material, but it is not banned .
• In general, hardcore BDSM, edge play, and niche fetishes (like violent roleplay, heavy medical play, etc.) are accommodated on MintStars in ways they never could be on OF/Fansly (those sites ban even the words for these acts).
  • Of course, certain lines still exist: anything actually illegal (real underage content, real non-consent/assault, bestiality, necrophilia with real bodies, etc.) is absolutely prohibited. MintStars isn’t a lawless zone; it follows state/government law strictly. But it doesn’t add extra morality-based restrictions beyond that.
  • Another thing MintStars does not have is geo-blocking. Creators cannot block regions on MintStars. This is one downside of the crypto model: because of its decentralized nature, MintStars doesn’t filter access by country. So if a creator is worried about, say, their hometown or country seeing their content, MintStars doesn’t offer the safety net of blocking that area. Creators would have to rely on pseudonyms and hope not to be stumbled upon. (By contrast, most other platforms let you block at least entire countries).
  • MintStars requires standard ID verification (KYC) for creators (18+ only) just like any platform. It’s as secure as others on that front.

In summary, MintStars’ terms of service around content are the most permissive of any mainstream platform: as long as it’s legal porn, it’s welcome. For fetish performers who have been frustrated by banned-words and limitations on sites like OnlyFans, MintStars is a breath of fresh air – they explicitly mention you can cater to fetishes like CNC, heavy BDSM, watersports, etc., which are strictly forbidden elsewhere. The trade-off is that you must bring your own audience (since MintStars isn’t a household name with millions of browsing users), and you can’t hide from your local region. But the platform’s promise of no financial discrimination and full creative freedom is a game-changer for many creators. Essentially, MintStars trusts creators and fans to engage in whatever consensual adult content they want, without the platform policing your kinks.
