Social value can be defined as exclusive access and experiences the token holder can gain simply by being a token holder - much like a membership pass to an exclusive club.\nCreators can use their social tokens to token-gate content, experiences, exclusive drops, allow their fans to purchase non-fungible assets from their digital footprint, such as their youtube streams, Twitter spaces, etc. \nDoing so allows creators to launch EVM-compatible assets that can take advantage of cross-chain protocols and begin within immediate, secondary market liquidity. Social tokens could be integrated across existing social media and e-commerce(shopify & stripe) platforms and provide fans an immediate way to uniquely engage with content and experience on a regular basis.\t\nMore broadly, social tokens better express the breadth and depth of a community. Rather than judging fandom based on how much money they are willing to spend to access certain experiences, social tokens can be used (and earned) for showing support that provides more sustainable growth to the creators careers - such as retweeting an album release, following a social account, and supporting them on patreon earlier in their careers. \nRather than relying upon general market metrics, such as transaction volume and price, (which both can be easily manipulated by speculative investors), marketers can gain better insight from engage-to-earn transaction volume or market sales volume related to a specific creator’s economy. Of course, fans, just like crypto HODLers (i.e., people that hold crypto rather than day-trade it), will likely desire to own multiple social tokens to engage with the various creators that they support.\nRecognition - Social tokens paired with engage-to-earn models can serve as a great way for creators to recognize their most engaged fans by simply knowing how many tokens they have. Fans that have surpassed certain milestones could be rewarded with non-transferable NFTs recognizing their engagement and differentiating themselves from others\nExclusivity - Social token holders may gain access to exclusive merchandise and events only purchasable in the social token (or open to holders of that social token). For example, this could include:\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nDigital Collectibles (NFTs, digital assets such as the creator’s tweets and posts)\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nLimited Edition Merchandise\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nVideo, Blog Access\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nAccess to virtual and live events\nCost of Engagement Rewards Must be Less than Protocol Revenue. The total cost of reward disbursement should be less than the revenue generated by the protocol.\nThe basis of the Protocol’s crypto-economics is an earn-to-engage (i.e., “E2E”) model where users (i.e., crypto wallet holders) are incentivized to engage with content and item-focused marketplaces built atop of the protocol (i.e., “social marketplaces”).
