Desirable properties for LoreFi: Monetization: Payout scales with popularity Sustainable Revenue: from mint fees, token allocations, trading fees, and future royalties Sharing Credit: Tag referenced NFTs, and their token-bound accounts auto-earn - accruing value into the NFTs (without having to sell them) Yield Locking: Earn fees by owning popular content - but only if you lock (veLORE) - which sinks the circulating supply and ties yield to true fans, not mercenaries Hybrid Collectibility/Speculation: Art for collectors, and liquidity for traders. Trade art and price, both with familiar tools Community Prospers Together: Referencing a friend's story puts tokens in both of your pockets IP Ownership: Cryptographic proofs of authorship enable future royalties Open & Extensible: a decentralized, credibly neutral platform that anyone can build on Spam Resistant: if no one mints low-effort Lore, no rewards Fandom Flywheel: create → reference → lock → earn → repeat. Creators craft interconnected lore, which draws demand to the most referenced pieces (for max yields via locking) - which sparks more references, deeper world-building, and a self-sustaining cycle of community-owned IP. A magic machine for building a fandom empire Coming soon
