Your founding artist badge is visible on your profile and in the feed forever. It's a historical marker that you were among the first.
Your reduced seller fee lasts as long as you remain active in the program.
Each market has a finite cohort. Once the window closes, no new founding artists are accepted for that market.
Artists can be promoted between tiers based on their impact. The program is designed to reward those who help build the community.
