$SONGS Advanced Tokenomics

1. Artist Staking Pools

• Fans stake $SONGS directly on an artists, social proof
• Staking gives perks (priority access, governance voice in artist, early SongShares access).
• Performance multiplier: if the artist’s songs outperform (measured by streaming revenue flow, resale volume of SongShares, or growth in unique holders), stakers receive boosted rewards in $SONGS.
• Effect: ties $SONGS demand to real music success.

2. SongShare → $SONGS Yield Conversion

• Holders can deposit SongShares into the protocol (they’re still credited as the owners, but they lock them).
• The protocol tracks how that song performs (revenue inflows).
• Based on performance, those staked SongShares earn $SONGS rewards from the ecosystem pool.
• Effect:
  • Incentivizes people to back strong songs and lock liquidity.
  • Creates “proof of music performance” as an on-chain metric that flows into $SONGS issuance.

3. SONGS Distributor Dynamics

• The first protocol-native distributor acts as a staking sink:
  • Users can stake $SONGS into the distributor.
  • Distributor uses this stake as “curation power” to prioritize releases, boost discoverability, or lower fees for artists.
  • Distributor revenue → partially flows back to stakers as $SONGS rewards.
• Effect: distribution becomes a curated, participatory service, not just a back-end.
