# $555 ↔ Creator Tokens

> Roles, staking flows, buybacks, and lifecycle mapping

## Roles & Relationship

* <strong>\$555:</strong> Platform token for access, staking into creator economies, and network-level coordination
* <strong>Creator Token:</strong> Per-creator economy launched with Render Expand; used for staking, governance, and buybacks

## Staking Flow

1. Viewers stake into a creator’s economy (using \$555 or the Creator Token as configured)
2. Stakeholders earn from the 70% Profit Pool and gain voting rights for creator/stakeholder split within bounds
3. Unstake with per-creator cooldown windows

## Buybacks (≥20%)

* A minimum of 20% of revenue attributable to a creator is used for automated buybacks of that creator’s token
* Creators may increase this to accelerate appreciation (subject to governance)
