Getting started with Truve
Truve is a marketplace where you buy and sell digital files — ComfyUI workflows, AI prompt packs, templates, scripts, and more — using cryptocurrency (USDC) on the Base network. There is no traditional checkout with a card; you use a Web3 wallet. This guide tells you what to set up first, whether you only buy, only sell, or both.
What Truve is (in one minute)
Truve combines three ideas:
- Discovery — a catalog of listings (like a store), not loose files in chat.
- Payment — you pay in USDC (a dollar-stable crypto) on Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 network with low fees.
- Delivery — after payment, access to the file is unlocked automatically; sellers are paid instantly minus a 5% platform fee (sellers keep 95%).
Files are stored in a decentralized way (IPFS); access control uses on-chain logic and Lit Protocol. The website truve.online is the user-friendly front door — not a fully “headless” protocol, but crypto-native rails for creators.
Buyer vs seller — pick your path
Buyers want a specific workflow or template and are OK paying in USDC. You will: set up a wallet → fund it with USDC on Base → browse the catalog (when live) → pay → download.
Sellers create digital goods (e.g. a ComfyUI workflow JSON, a prompt pack ZIP) and publish a listing with a price. You will: same wallet setup → create listing → upload (encrypted in the browser) → receive USDC when someone buys.
If you do both, you use the same wallet for paying and receiving.
Wallet and USDC on Base
You need a compatible wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, or any WalletConnect wallet). Then you must:
- Have the Base network available in your wallet.
- Hold USDC on Base (not only on Ethereum mainnet — networks are separate).
Follow the dedicated guide: Wallet setup for Truve.
