What is the reward program?
Layer's reward program turns the work you would already do into free Creative Units. Set up your workspace, generate assets, chat with the agent, or run workflows, and you'll earn CUs back into your shared balance. It's the same CUs you spend on images, video, 3D, and audio - not a separate point system or badge collection.
How to access it
Open Earn free units from your workspace sidebar. When a reward is ready to claim, you'll see a count next to it. This is available to every workspace by default.
Workspace admins can hide this panel under Settings > Rewards if they'd rather not show it to their team.
The starter journey
New workspaces start with a guided path worth up to 155 CUs:
Action | CUs earned |
Add an asset to a project | 10 |
Create three reference sets, each with an asset | 15 |
Create 10 assets | 5 |
Train a finetune | 25 |
Complete all four starter objectives above | +100 bonus |
What actions are rewarded after the starter journey
Once you're past the starter pack, rewards scale with regular production work. These include:
Forging images, video, or 3D from the board
Running workflows that generate an asset
Chatting with the Layer agent (answered messages count)
Building reference sets
Building your own workflows
Trying select models and tools, such as Seedance 2, GPT Image 2 at 2K, or image to 3D
A workspace can earn up to nearly 4,000 CUs total from the full reward catalog. Rewards unlock progressively, so the most current opportunities always sit at the top of the panel.
How to claim your rewards
Rewards don't move into your balance automatically. When a reward is ready, open Earn Free Units in the sidebar, then select Claim on an individual reward or Claim all to collect everything available at once.
Where claimed CUs go
Claimed CUs land directly in your workspace's shared balance. They last for one year from the date they're claimed, and any unused CUs will roll over in full each month.
