Stake for access.
Not passive dividends.
CRT staking is designed for creator perks, fee discounts, governance weight, discovery boosts, and platform utility. The agreed model avoids direct passive payout promises.
Rewards are utility-based,
not dividend-based.
Users should not be promised passive USDC, SOL, or protocol revenue for staking. Creator pools can unlock perks and campaign participation. Platform fees support operations and CRT buyback-burn.
What staking can unlock
What the model avoids
Creators stake CRT

Fans stake CRT
to support creators and unlock perks.
Creator pools are designed for access, loyalty, and campaign participation. Rewards should come from creator-funded or ecosystem-approved campaigns, not perpetual inflation.
Creator access
Stake CRT behind a creator to unlock private posts, community areas, gated drops, or fan-only experiences.
Discounts
Creators can offer discounts on guides, courses, booking slots, memberships, and digital products to staked supporters.
Status badges
Supporters can receive visible status, campaign eligibility, and loyalty recognition inside creator communities.
Early access
Creators can give staked fans early access to launches, content releases, calls, giveaways, and limited products.
Lock longer
for more governance weight.
Locking CRT can create veCRT, a non-transferable representation of governance weight and platform participation. It does not create a passive claim on protocol revenue.

Platform fees fund
operations and buyback-burn.
The standard platform fee is 5%, before creator staking discounts. The agreed model routes collected platform fees to operations and CRT buyback-burn, instead of direct passive payouts.
Governance starts
conservative and expands over time.
Early governance should avoid unnecessary security and operational risk. As the platform matures, veCRT holders can help shape fee parameters, grants, campaigns, and upgrade decisions.
Platform fee parameters
Vote on future fee settings and creator staking tier discounts when governance is enabled.
Buyback policy
Review and vote on buyback-burn routing after governance matures.
Featured placement
Support creator discovery campaigns and homepage placement rules.
Treasury grants
Help direct ecosystem grants, creator onboarding budgets, audits, and integrations.
New modules
Approve future monetization formats before they become official product modules.
Protocol upgrades
Participate in parameter and security upgrade decisions as governance expands.
Brand demand can become
another CRT sink.
Brands can use CRT to access creator deal flow or campaign placement. Default routing should favor burns or approved ecosystem use, not passive fee-sharing claims.
