Build a Community Platform with Tokens

What's a Tokenized Community?

Members hold tokens that:

• Represent membership/status
• Earn from platform activity
• Govern decisions
• Unlock features

It aligns incentives - members benefit when the community grows.

Core Features

Content and interaction:

• Posts, threads, discussions
• Reactions and comments
• Direct messages
• Events and calls

Token integration:

• Token-gated access
• Rewards for contribution
• Staking for reputation
• Governance voting

Building the Platform

Start with community basics:

"Build a community platform with user profiles, posts, comments, and likes. Users can create and join groups. Activity feed shows recent posts. Include direct messaging."

Then add token features:

"Add token-gated sections that require holding at least 100 tokens to access. Show token balance on profile. Award 10 tokens for posting, 2 for commenting."

Reward Mechanisms

Contribution rewards:

• Posting quality content
• Helping other members
• Moderating
• Bringing new members

Engagement rewards:

• Daily check-ins
• Completing quests
• Attending events

Governance

Token holders can:

• Vote on platform changes
• Propose new features
• Elect moderators
• Allocate community funds

2. Grow to active engagement
3. Launch token on Spawned

Avoiding Pitfalls

Don't over-tokenize. Not everything needs tokens. Focus on core value.

Keep it simple. Complex tokenomics confuse people.

Value participation over speculation. Reward contributing, not just holding.

Build genuine community. Tokens amplify community; they don't create it.
