LIVE SHOW FLOOR TO PERPETUAL BAND REVENUE
🎸 Live Show & Direct Backing
Fans scan QR at stage or tap NFC card. A 5% fee is added on top. Half of the coin amount goes to the band. Half enters the coin fund.
🛡️ Transparent Fan Ledger
Fans lock in early backer spot numbers with tamper-proof timestamps. Prove you heard them before they went mainstream.
📈 Coin fund and price
Ten percent of other band income can enter the coin fund and raises the price without adding coins. A buy raises the price and a sell lowers it. Coins start at $2.00. The safety floor is $1.00.
💎 Sell-backs and VIP perks
A sell-back queues for the day and fills pro-rata under the cap. Bought-back coins return to the available fan pool. VIP passes are separate from that queue.
Core Platform Alpha & Live Fan Capital Engine
Production-ready Stripe Payment Element & Apple Pay card checkout, zero-friction passwordless authentication, real-time append-only fan purchase ledger, zero-gate venue QR drops (`?ref=qr&event={eventSlug}`), multi-track music streaming player, creator photo galleries, and instant Stripe Connect creator withdrawals.
Live Venue NFC Beacons & "Heard Them First" Early Fan Provenance
Deploy street team NFC beacons at music clubs and festival stages. Fans check in live, securing sequential backer badges (#1–#100) that prove they backed the band before national chart breakthrough. Includes live setlist audio drops and venue geofenced exclusives.
Queued sell-backs and 100% master rights retention
The book is 1,000,000 coins: 800,000 stay in the locked band reserve, and up to 200,000 are fan coins. Fan coins are created when a purchase completes, not before. A refund burns those coins, so the issued count goes down. Ten percent of merch profit, after printer cost, and ten percent of royalties can enter the coin fund. No coins move on that income. Sell-backs queue for the day and fill pro-rata under the cap. Bought-back coins return to the available fan pool. A buy raises the price and a sell lowers it.
Fan Tour City Voting, Backer Passports & Exclusive Merch Drops
Coin holders vote on upcoming tour stops, album track sequences, and merch designs. Introduce digital backer passports that unlock hidden concert entry, private acoustic soundchecks, and discounted limited-edition vinyl.
Artist Concierge Hypercare, Tour Logistics & Crew Split Pools
Dedicated 1-on-1 band concierge onboarding, tour budget management, automated road crew and sound engineer split allocations, and rapid-response artist support team.
Indie Label Partnerships & Venue Booking Integrations
Horizontal integrations with indie record labels, live music booking platforms, festival talent buyers, and merchandise screen-printers to sync tour itineraries and coin campaigns seamlessly.
Live Show Venue Utility: Backstage Access & $COIN Redemptions
Enable direct coin-denominated perks at live concerts: merch discounts, VIP soundcheck laminates, backstage meet-and-greets, and exclusive tour laminate redemption.
Royalty income and studio grants
Ten percent of royalty income can enter the coin fund. No coins move on that income. Creator grants to fund next-album recording studio sessions without label debt.
Instant Bank Payouts & Multi-Currency International Off-Ramps
Instant bank transfers via ACH, SEPA, and Visa Direct debit cards. Artists and fans can liquidate their coin upside into local currency in seconds with zero hidden foreign exchange fees.
