How the Pool Grows
The reward pool is not fixed — it grows as the platform generates more revenue: Phase I (pre-revenue): The founding team seeds an initial pool of View Points to bootstrap participation. Points earned during this phase convert to $VIEW tokens at TGE. Phase II (early revenue): As advertising and premium subscription revenue begins flowing, the reward pool grows proportionally. Early participants benefit from a smaller pool with less competition. Phase III (mature): At scale, the reward pool is sustained entirely by platform revenue. No inflationary token minting is used to fund rewards — all rewards come from real revenue.Example Reward Calculation
Scenario: Creator with Trusted Voice ViewCred (500) publishes a staked article that receives strong engagement.- Base engagement points: 50 (from views, shares, saves)
- ViewCred multiplier: 2.0x (Trusted Voice tier)
- Stake multiplier: 1.5x (moderate stake)
- Total reward: 50 × 2.0 × 1.5 = 150 View Points
- Base: 50 × 1.0x (New tier) × 1.0x (no stake) = 50 View Points
