  <strong>Purpose:</strong> Stakeholder alignment, profit sharing, and discovery via transparent, on-chain metrics.

## Core Mechanics

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Staking & Subscriptions" icon="lock">
    Stake to become a stakeholder of a creator’s economy. Stakers share in the 70% Profit Pool and participate in governance of the creator/stakeholder split.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Buybacks (≥20%)" icon="trending-up">
    A minimum of 20% of every revenue unit allocated to a creator is used to buy back that creator’s token from the open market. Creators can increase this percentage to accelerate appreciation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Profit Pool (70%)" icon="coins">
    Distributed between Creator and Stakeholders. Initial split configured by the creator; adjustments governed by stakeholder voting within a bounded range.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Gamification Fund (10%)" icon="gamepad">
    Funds the 555 Engine prize pools and rewards that keep communities active even when the stream is offline.

## Token Lifecycle

<Steps>
  <Step title="Launch with Render Expand">
    Creator initializes a token with basic metadata, initial liquidity strategy, and policy parameters (min buyback %, split bounds, unbonding).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Integrate with CTRL & 555 Engine">
    The token is wired to overlays, prediction markets, and reward loops to begin generating inventory and community activity.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Revenue Ingestion & Distribution">
    Ads, marketplace, and game fees flow into the Monetization Contract for algorithmic 10/20/70 distribution.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Governance & Iteration">
    Stakeholders vote on profit split adjustments, buyback ceilings, and module upgrades.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Discovery & Advertisers

Transparent, on-chain metrics (engagement, staking TVL, performance) make it trivial for advertisers to select creators and collectives. Campaigns are executed trustlessly with automatic payouts and buybacks.
