A Certified Partner in @Topia's ecosystem was a creator or agency formally recognized for expertise in world design and community-building within its virtual platform. The Certified Partner designation was part of the company’s Creator and Partner Program, enabling recognized partners to collaborate on events, build custom environments, and help clients deploy immersive spaces. As part of the broader Creator Ecosystem and Marketplace introduced in 2021 following a $5 million seed round, Topia stated that world owners could earn commissions from visitor purchases or premium world subscriptions, while creators could sell scenes and templates via a marketplace comparable to theme markets on WordPress. The company shared roughly 30% of total revenue with creators and partners. Topia publicly identified @One Studio, part of @One Inc Cooperative, as its first Certified Agency Partner, which hosted recurring virtual gatherings across a portfolio of worlds. Certified partners typically received marketplace prominence, client referrals, and revenue shares from both marketplace transactions and subscriptions tied to worlds they managed or built. ::embed[https://topia.io/topia/certified-partners?world=citizens]{provider=topia,type=card}
