STAYGE Network

STAYGE Network is an entertainment ecosystem based on blockchain that tokenizes the influence of the fandom to utilize it on various apps and business models. The fan community service generates and distributes the tokens based on the fans’ contribution; furthermore, the fans can spend the rewarded tokens on DApps such as e-commerce, games, contents services and more.

Token Model

The token economy of STAYGE Network consists of ACT and STG. ACT is issued for each community and can be used within the community, and STG connects each community with ACT economy and is exchangeable on the exchange.

STG: STAYGE Coin

STG is a coin that links the ACT of each community and it serves as the key currency of STAYGE Network. STG can be used in a variety of ways, including transactions between the artists and the operators, trading of goods and services that do not belong to a specific community. It can also be used to join the community activities by exchanging STG with the ACT if there are not enough ACT.

ACT: Community Activity Token

ACT is a token generated for each community, issued through the fans’ activities. Fans are rewarded with the ACT for their fan activities such as contents creation, distribution, and the feedback on the artists and the other fans. The ACT issued in one community can only be used in the same community. It allows each community to maintain an independent governance and economic system.

Why STAYGE?

STAYGE is a platform for a wide range of participants in the entertainment market, including fans, artists and service providers. The fans, the artists, and the service providers can have the following benefits.

Fan

In the STAYGE Network, the activities of the fans are recorded on the blockchain and can be rewarded with ACT depending on their contribution. With the amount of ACT that each fan has, the fan can be recognized as a royal fan of the artists and the other fans, and the fans can use ACT to continue their fan activities. Fans can also voluntarily start projects for the artists, or support the other projects through STG and ACT funding.

JOIN AS A FAN

Artist

In STAYGE Network, each community does not belongs to an intermediary (platform), but it belongs to the artists and the fans that make up the community. Instead of paying an excessive advertising costs or fees to the exclusive broker, STAYGE Network encourages fans to engage more actively by providing fair rewards for the community contributors. The active fan community is a great fan marketing tool itself. The artists and the management companies can easily utilize and take advantage of sustainable and scalable global fan marketing tools by engaging with the community and interacting with them.
