# 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**.
