🚀Tokenomics

WHALE is the utility token of the Whaleden ecosystem, unlocking platform features, creator tools, and community-driven participation.

What WHALE Does

Stake WHALE to:

• Participate in governance decisions (1 staked WHALE = 1 vote)

• Unlock platform tiers and associated rewards

• Access partner perks and creator tools

Use WHALE to:

• Boost project visibility through platform mechanisms

• Access optional promotional or production-related services

• Submit IP pitch applications (anti-spam and quality control mechanism)

Unstaking:

You may unstake at any time (30-day cooldown). Benefits associated with staking end immediately once unstaked.

How Tiers Work

Your tier is determined by how much you stake relative to other participants. Rankings adjust dynamically. Higher stakes may unlock higher tiers with additional platform privileges.

Why Tiers?

Other platforms use additional assets (additional tokens, NFTs) to control access, which can fragment utility.

WHALE keeps everything unified: a single token powering access, engagement, participation, and creator tools.

As the platform grows, the tier system adjusts naturally, without a need of separate assets.

Two Types of Perks

Tier-Based Perks (rank-based)

Example: Top 100 stakers receive access to exclusive experiences such as:

• Exclusive drops

• 1:1 creator conversations

• VIP IRL access

Fixed-Stake Perks (threshold-based)

Unlocked by staking a specific amount of WHALE regardless of tier rank:

• Creator tools

• Early platform access

• Visibility boosts

This hybrid system provides both competitive and predictable perk paths.

Whaleden generates revenue from comics, merch, production services, collectibles, and licensing.

Whaleden allocates revenue as follows:

  • WHALE used in certain platform functions may be burned

  • Buybacks or burns are discretionary, based on platform decisions

Token Economics

Supply Dynamics

Platform mechanisms may reduce circulating supply through:

• Burns tied to specific platform features

• Optional discretionary buybacks

• WHALE spent on certain services

All burns are verifiable on-chain.

Utility Drivers

Demand for WHALE is driven by platform usage, such as:

• Staking for access, tiers, tools, and governance

• Creator visibility boosts and submission utilities

• Access to partner perks

These are utility drivers, not financial promises.

Community Grant Pool

10% of platform revenue is allocated to the grant pool, governed by WHALE stakers.

Fundable initiatives include:

• Art contests

• Community-led creative events

Example (illustrative only):
