Figma's new tool, Creator Tools, is revealed to us

Figma announces a slew of new features for its collaborative design platform. If you are a content creator, you will be able to take advantage of good news: you can now sell and buy files, plugins or widgets directly in the Figma community and access new tools to track your earnings, balances and transactions.
Figma specifies in its press release what has concretely changed: « It was already possible for creators to sell their content on Figma, only the purchase was made concrete until then on third-party sites, which created confusion. In addition, free and paid creations were not clearly distinguished between them. Now, clearer labeling will quickly identify free or paid resources. »

A subsidy program is also on the table

In addition to the Creator Tools, Figma has just released a grant program, called the Figma Creator Fund, with the aim of encouraging creators to produce more free resources, such as widgets, plugins and other files. Figma is clearly not shy about showing that they believe that design should be accessible to everyone and they obviously hope that this program will help achieve this rather ambitious goal.
So advice to passionate creators, if you want to contribute to the community, this is a great opportunity for you. And even if you don't produce free resources, you can still take advantage of Figma's new features to sell and buy files, plugins, and widgets.

And don't worry, Figma also explains how to receive this grant: « In concrete terms, creators can apply for a grant for their free access contribution directly on the platform and each months Figma will award grants to the top 3-5 resources. »

How can we link Figma and compensation?
