Status: Planned — Creator Token infrastructure depends on Render Expand completion.

​
Overview

Creator Tokens represent Level 2 (Creator Economy Level) of the two-level revenue cascade. They are per-creator economies launched with Render Expand that follow the same ARP / Buybacks / Treasury pattern as the platform-level $555 token. They align incentives across creators, viewers, and advertisers by enabling staking-based subscriptions, buybacks, and governed treasury splits.
Launch: Render Expand · Standard: SPL Token (Solana) · Decimals: 9 · Purpose: Stakeholder alignment, profit sharing, and discovery via transparent, on-chain metrics.

​
Core Mechanics

Stake to become a stakeholder of a creator’s economy. Stakers share in the 70% Treasury and participate in governance of the creator/stakeholder split.
A minimum of 20% of every revenue unit allocated to a creator is used to buy back that creator’s token from the open market. Creators can increase this percentage to accelerate appreciation.
Distributed between Creator and Stakeholders. Initial split configured by the creator; adjustments governed by stakeholder voting within a bounded range. Includes 5% token reserve and 5% SOL/USDC reserve.
Off the top — goes directly to verified audience members. Also funds the 555 Engine prize pools and rewards that keep communities active even when the stream is offline.

​
Token Lifecycle

1

Launch with Render Expand

Creator initializes a token with basic metadata, initial liquidity strategy, and policy parameters (min buyback %, split bounds, unbonding).
2

Integrate with CTRL & 555 Engine

The token is wired to overlays, prediction markets, and reward loops to begin generating inventory and community activity.
3

Revenue Ingestion & Distribution

Ads, marketplace, and game fees flow into the Monetization Contract for algorithmic ARP / Buybacks / Treasury distribution.
4

Governance & Iteration

Stakeholders vote on profit split adjustments, buyback ceilings, and module upgrades.

​
Discovery & Advertisers

Transparent, on-chain metrics (engagement, staking TVL, performance) make it trivial for advertisers to select creators and collectives. Campaigns are executed trustlessly with automatic payouts and buybacks.
