Tokenomics
Whaleden is a hub for developing, managing, and expanding intellectual properties across comics, collectibles, and beyond. By leveraging blockchain technology, Whaleden bridges traditional storytelling with Web3 innovation, offering new opportunities for creators, collectors, and investors. At its core, Whaleden operates with two fundamental digital assets: Whaleden Token and WHALE (Whaleden Hybrid Asset Limited Edition).
Whaleden Token
The Whaleden Token is the backbone of the ecosystem, providing 50% revenue sharing from Whaleden’s intellectual properties directly to token holders. This ensures that the community benefits from the platform’s success. In addition to revenue sharing, token holders shape Whaleden’s future through governance, get first access to limited editions, join exclusive events, and enjoy other perks every Web3 enthusiast loves.
WHALE
WHALE (Whaleden Hybrid Asset Limited Edition) redefines collecting by combining digital ownership with physical redemption. Each WHALE collectible is a blockchain-secured asset that ensures authenticity, eliminates counterfeits, and provides full ownership history. Beyond being a digital asset, WHALE is redeemable for a physical item, bridging the gap between digital and tangible collectibles while maintaining transparency and security.
Unlike traditional collectibles, WHALE offers a decentralized, borderless experience, allowing for instant transfers without shipping delays, customs fees, or risk of damage. When ready, collectors can exchange WHALE for the corresponding physical item, ensuring they enjoy both the convenience of digital ownership and the satisfaction of a real-world collectible. This innovative approach enhances freedom, security, and accessibility in the collecting experience.
Revenue Sharing Model
Whaleden will share 50% of the revenue generated from its intellectual properties with Whaleden token holders via a funding model that leverages traditional finance principles and the latest technological advancements. This approach could become a scalable, generalized framework for blockchain-based funding.
Startups often require multiple rounds of funding, which in crypto markets can dilute the value of existing investors. In traditional finance, shareholders often receive additional shares during new funding rounds to preserve their stake. Whaleden adopts a similar approach: existing Whaleden token holders receive vShares, which are proportional to their holdings when new tokens are emitted.
The key characteristics of vShares are as follows
Revenue Sharing: vShares grant the same rights to revenue sharing as the Whaleden token they are pegged to.
Non-Transferable: vShares are exclusively tied to the original investor and cannot be transferred.
Burn Mechanism: Selling a Whaleden token results in burning associated vShares.
Inclusivity: All Whaleden token holders, including those who purchase tokens on the secondary market, will receive vShares during the next funding round.
This model incentivizes early adopters with compounding rewards that grow over time, but in the same time ensures it remains highly rewarding to join at any stage.
Token Distribution
The total initial supply of Whaleden Tokens is allocated as follows:
20% for the first private round ($200,000, 12-month lockup),
25% for the second private round ($400,000, 6-month lockup),
30% for the public round ($800,000),
20% for team and advisors (24-month lockup), and
5% for marketing.
Conclusion
Whaleden is positioned at the intersection of blockchain, entertainment, and the $600 billion collectibles industry. Through strategic funding rounds, decentralized governance, and a transparent revenue-sharing model, Whaleden is shaping the future of intellectual property monetization and redefining engagement between artists, collectors, and investors.
At its core, Whaleden is building a transparent and fair hub where everyone benefits—from investors who support the ecosystem, to artists who retain creative ownership, to the community that engages with and drives the platform forward. The project roadmap includes expanding its comic book series, launching new collectibles, and exploring licensing opportunities in film, gaming, and other entertainment sectors.
With a foundation built on innovation, transparency, and community participation, Whaleden aims to become a leading decentralized publishing platform in the Web3 space, ensuring fair opportunities and sustainable growth for all stakeholders.
