The idea is simple: create freely, connect deeply. Share art, games, cosplay, ideas and the work that makes your corner of the internet yours. Rank what inspires you, earn Stars as people respond to what you make, and build a profile that grows with everything you create.

One profile carries all of it - your community, your creations, your collections and your storefront. You can open a shop, collect work from other creators, and discover verified, numbered Aon Signature editions.

Aonverse is in beta, and we are letting people in through the waitlist. Join it from the home page, reserve your username, and share your link to move up the line. This blog is where we will post what we are building and why. See you among the stars.

You earn Stars by taking part. Joining the waitlist earns them, levelling up pays out a bonus, and summoning friends rewards you both when the invitation goes out and again when a friend actually joins.

Stars are also useful. You can gift them directly to another explorer, use them to support a creator through their Support Tiers, spend them on perks, or put them toward trades for badges and Aon Signature pieces.

Inside a Subspace, members can pool Stars into a shared pot that the community uses to forge its own badge. More on that in our Subspaces post.

Every Subspace has a Star Pot. Members donate a few of their own Stars at a time, and once the pot is full an admin can forge a badge from it for the community - something members earned together rather than something handed out.

Subspaces can also challenge each other. Admins put Stars on the line, the clock starts, and the community that earns more together over the challenge wins.

If you cannot find the Subspace you are looking for, start it. The best corners of the internet were always the ones somebody decided to build.

What you collect is not locked in a vault. An Aon Signature piece you own can be used on your profile, so your collection becomes part of how you show up in the universe.

Collections are meant to move, and that is what the Trade Binder is for. For each piece or badge you hold, you choose whether it stays private or goes in your binder for others to browse. You can say what you are looking for in return, set a price in Stars for anyone who wants to buy it outright, or simply give a copy to someone.

Other collectors can then propose a trade - their cards, Stars, or both - and you decide whether to accept.

For creators, a shop is part of your profile rather than a separate site to maintain. The people who follow your work are already one step away from your storefront, and Seller Studio gives you a single place to manage products, inventory and orders.

If you already sell somewhere else, you do not have to start over. Connect an existing Shopify or Etsy store and import your products as drafts, then review them before anything goes live.

We built the Market for independent work. If you make things, we would love to see your shop in it.
