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
