Tokenomics
Economic model and token distribution
Overview
FanCup operates on Solana and uses Creator Keys (tokenized creator identities) that function through bonding curve mechanics. Each creator has their own independent token economy.
1. Creator Keys Economics
Bonding Curve Model
Creator Keys use a continuous bonding curve formula:
- Price = Base Price × (1 + Supply)^Curve Factor
- As more keys are purchased, the price increases
- As keys are sold, the price decreases
- Provides continuous liquidity without traditional order books
Revenue Distribution
When Creator Keys are traded, revenue is distributed as follows:
- 70% → Creator (earned directly)
- 20% → Platform (for operations and development)
- 10% → Distributed to all key holders (proportional to holdings)
2. Platform Token (Future)
FanCup may introduce a platform token in the future with the following proposed distribution:
- 40% → Community & Rewards
- 20% → Team & Advisors (4-year vesting)
- 15% → Investors (2-year vesting)
- 15% → Treasury & Operations
- 10% → Ecosystem Development
Note: Platform token launch is subject to regulatory approval and community governance.
3. NFT Badge Economics
- Badges are minted as NFTs on Solana
- Initial minting fees: 0.01 - 0.1 SOL depending on rarity
- Secondary sales: 5% royalty to platform, 5% to creator (if applicable)
- Some badges include SOL rewards when claimed
4. Fee Structure
Creator Key Trading
- Buy Fee: 2% of purchase amount
- Sell Fee: 2% of sale amount
- Fees are automatically distributed according to revenue split
NFT Badge Minting
- Common badges: 0.01 SOL
- Rare badges: 0.02 SOL
- Epic badges: 0.05 SOL
- Legendary badges: 0.1 SOL
Platform Operations
- Wallet connections: Free
- Profile customization: Free
- Premium features: Subscription-based (future)
5. Deflationary Mechanisms
- Key Burns: Creators can burn their own keys to reduce supply
- Badge Burns: Some badges can be burned for rewards
- Revenue Share Burns: Option to burn earned revenue for deflation
