# Core Idea

#### **What we’re building**

Markets for **moments**: tokenize whitelisted YouTube clips so conviction can be traded and **benefits flow** to the people who create and grow attention.

#### **Design goals**

<table><thead><tr><th width="229.61376953125">Principle</th><th>Benefit</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Predictable primitives</strong></td><td>Every clip = <strong>1,000,000,000</strong> tokens → simple mental model.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Aligned incentives</strong></td><td>Traders find price; creators get <strong>allocation + 5% fees</strong>; referrers get <strong>0.2% of referred volume</strong>.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Open liquidity</strong></td><td><strong>Uniswap</strong> <strong>V3</strong> <strong>(Base)</strong> for transparent price discovery and DeFi composability.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Frictionless onboarding</strong></td><td><strong>Privy</strong> sign-in + low Base gas → fewer drop-offs.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Compliance &#x26; IP clarity</strong></td><td>Only <strong>whitelisted</strong> channels can be tokenized; tokens represent <strong>provenance</strong>, not IP rights.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### **Lifecycle**

1. **Whitelist** creator/channel → badge.
2. **Create** token from a clip → set **symbol**, pick **creator allocation** (up to 50%), optional **pre‑buy**.
3. **List & discover** on [app.clipcoin.fun](https://app.clipcoin.fun/) → **Home**/**Rankings** drive traffic.
4. **Trade & track** via **Token page** (chart, trades, social).
5. **Earn & claim** — **1% fee** per trade splits: **referrer earns 20% of referrals' trading fee**; **creator 5% of fees** on their clips → claimable on‑chain.

#### **Benefit snapshots**

* **Trader** — earlier entries via social signals; low Base fees; portable liquidity.
* **Creator** — recurring **fee share** + **allocation** without launching a platform token.
* **Referrer** — simple link → **compounding on‑chain accrual**.

#### **What this is not**

* **No IP or usage rights** to the underlying video.
* **Not investment advice**; tokens are volatile and subject to **slippage/MEV**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.clipcoin.fun/foundation/core-idea.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
