Find answers to common questions about Tribute
Tribute is the first social media platform built from the ground up specifically for the findom (financial domination) community. We created Tribute because we believe that Dommes and subs deserve their own dedicated space—a community where the findom lifestyle is understood, respected, and celebrated, not looked down on.
Our platform combines everything you love about social media with the secure, integrated financial tools you need.
With Tribute, you can:
Create a profile, post updates, photos, and videos to your feed, follow your favorite accounts, and connect with others.
Use our built-in direct messaging (DM) feature to chat securely.
Users can load money into their secure Tribute account and send funds to other users instantly and safely, all without leaving the app.
We are committed to your privacy and follow a minimal data collection policy. We only collect the absolute essentials needed to operate your account and maintain a safe, legal platform.
Here is a simple breakdown of the data we collect and, just as importantly, what we don't.
To keep the platform safe and compliant, we are required to verify the age of all users. This process is handled entirely by our trusted third-party partner, Veriff.
During verification, Veriff will ask for a photo of your government-issued ID (like a driver's license) and a selfie.
Tribute never sees, collects, or stores this sensitive information. Your images and ID photos are sent directly to Veriff, which securely manages them according to their own strict privacy policy.
Veriff simply tells us "Yes" or "No" regarding your age verification, and that's all the information we receive.
In short, the only personal information we store on our servers is your email address and your chosen username.
Tribute uses passkeys instead of traditional passwords to give you a login experience that is simpler, faster, and much more secure.
The easiest way to think of a passkey is using your device's built-in lock to sign in.
Instead of typing a password you have to remember, you simply use:
They are much more secure. A password can be stolen in a data breach, guessed, or phished by a fake website. A passkey can't. The "key" is a unique digital code that never leaves your device, so a hacker can't steal it from our servers or trick you into giving it away.
They are phishing-proof. A passkey is tied directly to our website, Tribute-app.com (as an example). If a scammer sends you to a fake site like Tribute-login.com, your passkey simply won't work. It's impossible to use it on the wrong site.
They are incredibly convenient. You never have to remember or reset a complex password again. Just use the same secure, instant method you use to unlock your phone.
By using passkeys, we are providing you with the most modern and robust security available, so you can be confident that your account is protected.
We designed Tribute to protect your privacy. Other users on the platform can only see your public profile information, which is:
That's it.
Your private, sensitive information is never visible to other users. We want to be very clear about this:
No one can see your email address. This is used only for account management and passkey resets.
No one can ever access your age verification information. Your ID images and personal details from that process are not stored by us and are never visible to anyone on the platform.
Your profile is designed to let you engage with the community while keeping your private, identifiable information secure.
We believe in a simple, transparent, and fair business model. We are built to support the community, not exploit it.
Here is a simple breakdown of our fees:
Tribute takes a small 5% fee when a user deposits money into their Tribute wallet.
That's it.
This model means the fee is only applied to subs, allowing Dommes to receive 100% of the funds they are sent.
We are also proud to offer a fee that is substantially lower than other platforms. Our 5% fee is often half (or even less) of what competitors charge, who frequently take 10-20% on transactions.
You will never be surprised by a fee. Every time you make a deposit, the confirmation screen will show you a clear, simple breakdown of:
This small fee allows us to operate the platform, invest in security, and keep all user-to-user sends and payouts completely free.
This is one of the most important questions for the findom community, and we want to be completely transparent. We know the community has been repeatedly burned, de-platformed, and censored by traditional banks and payment processors.
That's why we built Tribute differently from the ground up.
We do not use a traditional "payment processor." Instead, our entire financial system is built using Coinbase and USDC, a "stablecoin" cryptocurrency.
What is USDC? USDC is a stablecoin, which means its value is pegged 1-to-1 with the US dollar. One USDC is always redeemable for $1, so you don't have to worry about price fluctuations.
Why do we use this system? By using USDC, we are not dependent on a particular bank or payment processor that can impose outdated, discriminatory restrictions on our community. This method gives us—and you—the independence and stability to engage freely and safely.
Here is how it works in practice:
You have two simple options to load your Tribute wallet:
To cash out your earnings, you will need to have a Coinbase account.
This is a necessary step to connect to the USDC financial system. It provides a secure, reliable, and fast way for you to receive 100% of your tributes and move them to your own bank account.
This entire system is designed for one purpose: to protect our community and ensure you have a reliable platform that will never censor or freeze your account for engaging in findom.
