Creator Coin Value Drivers

Creator coins on the DeSo blockchain represent a new way to monetize social media content by connecting creator value directly to coin holders. Here's how it works:

Core Value Drivers

• Creator coins capture cash flows from multiple revenue streams:
  • NFT sales royalties
  • Promoted post revenue
  • Future monetization features
• Percentage of creator earnings flow back to coin holders as dividends
• Creates direct financial alignment between creators and supporters

Investment Strategy

• Focus on active creators who:
  • Post regularly
  • Engage with community
  • Generate consistent content
• NFT artists are particularly valuable because:
  • Have immediate cash flows through royalties
  • Clear revenue model already established
  • Often underpriced relative to actual cash flows

Benefits of the Model

• Democratizes social platform ownership

  • Fans can participate in creator success
  • Revenue shared between platform and users
  • Breaks traditional ad-based monopoly model

• Enables better creator discovery

  • Financial incentive to find promising creators early
  • Rewards early supporters of emerging talent
  • Creates motivation to back smaller creators

Platform Economics

• Content is open across multiple apps
• Revenue comes from:
  • Small fees charged by apps
  • Native DESO token appreciation
  • Competitive marketplace vs monopolistic control
• Majority of value flows to creators vs traditional platforms

Current Examples

• Active creators mentioned:
  • Dharmesh - very active, high engagement
  • Matreshka - female creator with strong activity
  • Tijin - developer creating valuable content
  • NFT creators like Spookies, Kloutpunk, Illumina Minotti
