2. Token Utility

As the universal token of the MEET48 ecosystem, IDOL boasts diverse application scenarios supported by unique incentive mechanisms.

  • Content Mining & Creator Rewards The platform implements a "Watch-to-Earn" system where users are given IDOL tokens for consuming idol-related content including virtual performances, music videos, and documentaries. This mechanism enhances user engagement and platform activity. Content creators similarly benefit through a "Create-to-Earn" model - whether producing music, videos, or written content about idols, creators receive IDOL rewards based on content quality and popularity, incentivizing continuous creative contributions to enrich the ecosystem.

  • Ecosystem Expenditures IDOL serves as the primary medium of exchange within MEET48:

  • AI Agent Customization: Creators spend IDOL to unlock premium avatar features and interactive scenarios

  • Virtual Experiences: Fans use IDOL to purchase NFT collectibles, concert tickets, and virtual gifts

  • Exclusive Access: Special interactions like AI-powered fan meetings require IDOL expenditure

  • NFT Marketplace: Trading of digital assets featuring idols

  • Voting & Governance IDOL enables democratic participation in key platform decisions:

  • Annual Community Awards: All honors are determined through IDOL-weighted voting

  • Project Development: Token holders vote on idol-related initiatives and resource allocation

  • Governance Proposals: Platform upgrades and rule changes are decided through IDOL-based governance

3. Value Appreciation & Tokenomics

IDOL's value proposition rests on three robust pillars:

  • Deflationary Burn Mechanism The platform implements systematic token burns: 60% of tokens from voting pools are permanently burned Transaction fees contribute to periodic burns This helps to balance the long term supply and demand dynamics

  • Established Fan Economy MEET48 leverages SNH48's existing fanbase of 30M+ international fans, with proven monetization: $100M+ annual revenue from voting events $25M+ from idol live chats $20M+ from brand endorsements 1M+ paying viewers for exclusive content

  • Ecosystem Expansion Continuous platform development ensures expanding utility: New virtual experiences (concerts, meetups) requiring IDOL access Brand collaborations utilizing IDOL for rights management Cross-platform integrations increasing adoption
