Token Economy

Pine Muse NFT and PIM token circulation ecosystem 

NFT and PIM to energize remake auditions

Pine Muse issues NFTs for proving remake rights when holding remake auditions. Artists use PIM purchased from virtual asset exchanges or secured from the platform to purchase ‘Remake Rights NFT’ on the Pine Muse platform. Artists can upload audition contents on the platform after registering ‘Remake Rights NFT’ on the Pine Muse platform. Some of the NFT sales revenue is airdropped in token to platform participants according to their contribution.

NFT and PIM to energize Artist Home

Artists can use NFTs and PIM to manage their histories of audition content, general music content, etc. and their fandoms. When the fandom is formed through ‘Artist Home’ and an artist issues a ‘Fandom NFT,’ the fandom purchases it with PIM to support the artist’s creative activities. In addition, fandom can purchase tickets for online concerts of ‘Artist Home’ with PIM. 

PIM for community revenue sharing

Profits which are generated from audition participation, neighboring rights, etc. are paid in PIM according to the community revenue sharing system.

Fund management

Some of the profits generated from stable asset management can be used as a support budget for energizing the Pine Muse ecosystem, such as raising artists.
