General Information

What is RepubliK?

RepubliK is the World’s First AI-powered SocialFi Platform that revolutionises how content creators and social media users can be rewarded from their content and interactions – empowering everyone to participate, create and govern within a platform designed to value genuine contributions.

RPK is the sole utility token on RepubliK, representing governance and the value of the community. Platform fees generated on RepubliK are in RPK, and are continuously redistributed to the community as Daily Community Rewards based on their interactions and engagement or burned, creating a self-sustainable ecosystem for social interactions in Web3 with components of a modern economy.

Through the use of advanced A.I., Machine Learning and Blockchain Technology – monetising content and engaging fans; growing a community; interacting with your favourite creators; discovering and being discovered –  is now even easier. The platform incorporates a gamified XP levelling system that engages everyone in a dynamic and interactive process to “level up” and receive larger daily community rewards in the form of RPK, RepubliK’s native token.

Everyone can use RepubliK as they would TikTok and Instagram except that their content is not just consumed but invested in - every interaction propels creators forward with better earnings and fans can have a stake in their favourite creator’s success. While other social media platforms profit from the attention and time you give them without giving you anything in exchange, RepubliK's unique model ensures that everyone in our community is fairly rewarded for every contribution to the platform.

How is RepubliK different from traditional social media platforms?

At its core, RepubliK is an all-in-one ecosystem where creators can reach their audience and keep a much bigger share of their earnings. The ecosystem uniquely rewards users at every level of engagement - not only creators, but also the audience - for their contribution to the platform based on the depth of interactions and engagements - unlike current social media platforms that take their time and attention for free.

Although legacy social platforms offer powerful channels for garnering attention, the options for pathways toward profitable interactions are slim. The majority of creator revenue stems from external brand deals, while on-platform monetization functions remain fragmented and siloed. Platform take rates remain high, and ad revenues have seen a steady decline.

RepubliK leverages the capabilities of Web3 to supercharge existing creator monetization tools. By implementing smart contracts, RepubliK significantly reduces the incremental costs associated with administrative tasks, legal fees, and talent agents. As a result, creators can capture value that was previously difficult to obtain within traditional systems, which were burdened with inefficiencies and costs. The trustless nature of smart contracts eliminates these obstacles and paves the way for a more streamlined and efficient creator economy.

Where is RepubliK from?

RepubliK is built by a passionate team of creators, engineers and founders with deep expertise in the Web3 space. We have offices and representatives in Singapore and Berlin, all focused on our mission of growing global communities.

What is the total supply of RPK Tokens?

The total supply of RPK minted on ERC-20 is 3,000,000,000.

To maintain the total supply of RPK under 3,000,000,000 when issuing RPK on other chains, RepubliK has implemented a balancing reserve mechanism where equivalent tokens issued on chains such as Arbitrum (Mantle, and TON still to come) are locked on the ERC-20 Token Treasury.

How do I buy RPK?

You can buy RPK on ERC-20 through Bybit, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate, HTX, Uniswap.

You can buy RPK on Arbitrum directly through Uniswap.

How do I earn from my content?

Earning from your content on RepubliK is straightforward and rewarding. Here are the primary ways you can monetize your content:

Tipping on the RepubliK App
Receive tips directly from your audience using RPK tokens. Fans can show their appreciation for your content by sending you RPK, which you can then use within the platform, or convert to other currencies.

Pay2Chat on the RepubliK App
Offer exclusive chat sessions with your fans who are willing to pay for a more personalized interaction. This feature allows you to monetize your time and DMs, while engaging more deeply with your audience.

Subscriptions on the RepubliK App
Set a monthly subscription fee so fans can subscribe to your exclusive content - providing you with a steady income stream from a more private group of paying supporters.

Creator STOX on the STOX Market dApp
Issue your own STOX from the RepubliK App and allow traders and fans on the STOX Market dApp to support you directly, and be rewarded for your success. As your popularity and engagement grows, the value of your STOX can increase, providing RPK rewards for both the creator that has issued their STOX, and supporters for trading them.

*Pro-Tip: While Creators can experiment with new content types or explore new genres that attract new audiences - alternatively, by simply reviving popular content used on other platforms that are already performing well, Creators can maximise the value of existing content to attract more paying supporters and Creator STOX Holders. Depending on personal strategy, Creators on RepubliK can find opportunities to strengthen their influence with minimal additional effort, turning once-passive assets into active monetisation content.

What is RepubliK's revenue model?

RepubliK runs on an exchange model and generates revenue through platform and trading fees:

Platform Fees - RPK fees are generated from monetisation tools, including Tipping, Pay2Chat, and Subscriptions. These fees help maintain and improve the platform while offering valuable services to creators and users.

Trading Fees - When users buy or sell Creator STOX on the platform, a small fee is charged. This fee is shared between the RepubliK platform and the creator, providing a consistent value stream for both parties.

Has the RPK Smart Contract been deployed?

RPK Smart Contracts have been deployed on Arbitrum and Ethereum.

RepubliK STOX Market

What is Creator STOX?

Revolutionising Value Creation with Creator STOXs

Creator STOX are tokenized representations of a creator's social value within the social media space.

Creators issue their STOX through the RepubliK App, so traders and supporters can buy / sell their STOXs with RPK Tokens on Arbitrum exclusively on the STOX Market.

Creator STOX enables everyone to support the growth of creators through their journey, and benefit from their success through trading; while Creators are given new value streams as their STOX are traded by the community.

What is the STOX Market?

Invest in Influence on the STOX Market

The RepubliK STOX Market is a dApp where traders and supporters can directly trade Creator STOX using RPK on the Arbitrum Network. Creator STOX on the STOX Market completely transforms the relationship between creators and their communities, turning passive followers into active participants in a creators success.

Fans gain an economic stake in the creator’s value - forging a community of creators and social media users invested in mutual success.  As a creator's popularity and influence grow, so too does the value of their STOXs on the STOX Market, potentially offering early supporters huge RPK returns on their participation.

I'm a creator, why should I issue Creator STOX on the STOX Market?

1. True Value Creation
Creator STOX offers creators a path to passively increasing their value by diversifying their value streams and reducing reliance on ad revenue or platform-specific monetization tools, providing a more scalable and lucrative source of value creation.

2. Direct Monetisation of Influence
Creators can directly monetize their influence and content through Creator STOX, representing their social value across all social platforms, not just RepubliK.  Unlike traditional platforms where monetization options are limited and often controlled by the platform such as advertisements or sponsored content, STOX gives creators control over their value streams without sacrificing creativity, their voice and tonality. Additionally, Creators can connect their Twitter, TikTok or Instagram accounts to RepubliK and provide potential STOX buyers a comprehensive view of their overall influence, without having to start from scratch in building a completely fresh following on RepubliK.

3. Enhanced Engagement
Creator STOX significantly enhances engagement with their audience. Fans who hold a creator’s STOX are more likely to actively participate in a creator’s community, promote their content, and engage with their social media activities, creating a more vibrant, loyal and ever-growing fan base.

4. Support for Future Projects
In addition to earning from monetizing their content on RepubliK, Creators can earn RPK from fees generated when traders buy or sell their STOX, get support for future projects, expansion, equipment and more from fans who are truly and literally invested in the creator’s success.

I'm a trader and/or social media user, why should I trade Creator STOX on the STOX Market?

1.  Benefit From Supporting Your Favorite Creators
STOXs are tied to the success of the creators they represent. As a creator's influence and popularity grow, so does the value of their STOX, offering supporters the potential for benefitting from the support they provided their favourite creators.

2. Early Adopter's Advantage
Supporting Creator STOX during the early stages of a creator's career or their STOX launch can offer significant advantages. Early adopters who support creators at the start of their journey get the largest share of their creators growth and value creation.

3. Support the Creator Economy Directly
Creator STOX offers a novel addition to a crypto holder's portfolio. They provide an opportunity to participate in the growing creator economy and the SocialFi sector, both of which are rapidly expanding and advancing.

How do I issue my Creator STOX?

Step 1: Create a profile on the RepubliK App
Step 2: Tap “Launch your STOX” on your profile
Step 3: Link your socials accounts (Instagram/X/Tiktok)
Step 4: Tap “Burn to Launch” to mint your STOX and it will appear on the STOX Market!

*You are required to have a RepubliK App account to issue Creator STOX. However, you do not need a RepubliK App account to trade Creator STOX, as this can be done through the STOX Market dAPP. This setup ensures that creators are verified while providing flexibility for trading.

How do I trade Creator STOX?

To start trading Creator STOX, you will need the following:
1. RPK on Arbitrum -- Ensure you have RPK Tokens available on the Arbitrum network.
2. ETH on Arbitrum -- You will need ETH on the Arbitrum network to cover gas fees.
3. Connect Your Non-Custodial Wallet to the STOX Market -- A non-custodial wallet is required to securely manage and trade your tokens. (e.g. MetaMask, Trust Wallet, OKX Web3 Wallet)  

*Creator STOX can also be purchased from the STOX Market decentralized application (dApp) through Uniswap. This ensures a secure and streamlined process for acquiring and trading STOX directly within the platform.                        

What network is Creator STOX built on?

The Creator STOX Ecosystem is built on the Arbitrum One network.

What is the supply of Creator STOX?

There is no max supply of a creator's STOX.

Creator STOX are based on a hybrid bonding curve model, where the price of a STOX increases as more people buy it, and decreases when people sell. This makes a creator's STOX supply dynamic and can increase or decrease based on user activity on the platform. The total supply at any given time is determined by the number of users and the number of STOX they issue, which can fluctuate based on the popularity and activity within the platform.

How is the price of each Creator STOX determined?

Dynamic Pricing: Reflecting Real Influence

Creator STOX follows a hybrid bonding curve pricing model that reflects the real-time popularity and activity of the creators. As a creator gains more followers and releases compelling content that drives genuine and meaningful interactions, the demand; number of Holders; and shared RPK pool increases - leading to a rise in the price of the creator’s STOX.

The value of a creator’s STOX accurately mirrors the creator's influence and engagement, providing a transparent and fair valuation system.

How does the Value Distribution Model (Price Boost) for Creator STOXs work?

Value Stream for STOXs Holders: Sharing Success

While it is not mandatory for creators to use monetisation tools on the RepubliK App in order to issue STOX, it is highly encouraged, as one of the most compelling features of Creator STOX is the value distribution model ("Price Boost").

A portion of the value generated by the creator through monetisation features on the RepubliK App (e.g. Fan Subscriptions, Pay2Chat, Tipping)  is funnelled into a shared RPK pool for allocation to STOX Holders on the STOX Market. This ensures that the success of a creator translates into value for those who hold STOX.

The allocation from the shared RPK pool is determined by the creator’s STOXs current selling price; those who sell at higher prices receive a smaller share, encouraging long-term holding and loyalty while growing a dedicated community around each creator.

Are there trading fees for trading Creator STOX?

Yes, there are trading fees for trading Creator STOXs.

4% trading fee goes directly into the RepubliK App wallet (in-app "RPK Vault") of the issuing Creator;
1% trading fee goes into the issuing creator's STOX Price Boost;
3% of the trading fees goes to the platform.

How does Trading Fee Sharing for Creator STOXs work?

Value Stream for Creators: Trading Fee Sharing

Trading Creator STOX on the STOX Market not only benefits the buyers and sellers but also creates an additional value stream for creators. Every transaction involving STOXs generates an RPK fee shared between the RepubliK platform and the creator.

This fee-sharing model ensures that creators are continuously rewarded for the trade activity of their STOX, further motivating them to grow their influence and engage their audience.

Can I transfer Creator STOX to my external wallet?

No, Creator STOXs cannot be transferred to external wallets. They are designed to be traded exclusively on the STOX Market and can be bought with RPK Tokens.

The RepubliK App

I'm a Creator, why should I use the RepubliK App?

On most social media platforms, the rules are set by big companies, and you often have to pay extra fees just to get your share of the earnings. But RepubliK changes all that by offering unique and rewarding platforms to grow your brand, engage with your audience, and monetize your content.

Here's how:

1) The RepubliK App provides a unique and rewarding social platform to grow your brand, engage with your audience, and monetize your content. You can receive direct support through tipping, paid chats, and subscription-based content, creating multiple revenue streams. Additionally, your fans are rewarded for interacting, engaging and supporting you, forming a win-win relationship that continues to fuel your growth as a creator.

2)  Our AI-powered Discovery Engine helps like-minded users discover creators based on their in-depth interactions; our AI-powered rewards system ensures fair and dynamic Daily RPK Community Rewards distribution based on the quality and engagement of your content; while our AI-powered decentralized content moderation guarantees a transparent and safe environment.

3) Fans can top-up RPK directly on the RepubliK App using credit cards so they will never have to wait to support you, while your RPK Vault (in-app wallet) tracks all transactions so you can monitor and have full control over your earnings.

4) Creating content on RepubliK connects you to a growing global community of engaged users eager to discover and support creators in tangible ways apart from views or likes, and from all walks of life. Being a Creator and building your community with RepubliK means it will always be a win-win for you and your fans!

How do I change my username?

As of now, the ability to change usernames is not available on RepubliK. We've designed the platform this way to maintain the integrity and accountability of user interactions. Keeping usernames constant ensures that you can build a recognizable and trusted identity on RepubliK. Thank you for your understanding.

How is XP used to calculate Daily RPK Community Reward allocations on the RepubliK App?

The RepubliK App uses a dynamic and fair XP model to offer everyone a share of RPK based on their depth and quality of engagement on the App.  XP represents your contribution to the platform and allows you to achieve new tiers with additional benefits. You will receive RPK Tokens based on the XP you’ve earned in proportion to the total amount of XP across the platform.

More about XP:
1. Your XP represents your life time contributions to the platform and is how we award tier benefits and recognise top contributors. No one gets left behind.

2. XPs encourage meaningful participation. It's not just about how quantity; quality matters too. Engage and interact, refer friends, support creators, enjoy the App - these all contributes to your XP which then increases your RPK rewards.

3. The XP Model encourages long-term community growth - RepubliK wants to build a long-term relationship with a community and rewards pool that will continue to grow bigger. As the RepubliK App grows, the rewards pool grows too. This means the potential for earning has no limitation.

How do I get rewarded for my interactions on the RepubliK App?

XP represents the amount of contribution a user has made to the RepubliK App. The more you interact and have fun, the more XP you get! It's that easy.

Everyone can gain XP by:

1) Interacting: Engage in quality interactions with content, creators, and other users on the platform. The more you interact genuinely, the more XP you accumulate.

2) Creating: Post high-quality content that resonates with your audience. The more your content engages others, the more XP you receive.

3) Inviting friends and supporters to join you in building your community. You can share your profile link which generates a profile preview for others, or share links to any individual piece of content so friends and supporters can see what you enjoy on RepubliK. All shared links are tagged to you, ensuring your contributions are recognized.

4) Daily Activity: Stay active on RepubliK by maintaining daily log-in streaks for a 7-day bonus (auto-refreshes). Consistent activity helps you earn more XP.

How do I prevent others from monetising my content on RepubliK?

Keep your content's authenticity secure and ensure you are the one rewarded from your creativity with our Socials Linking feature.

Now, by linking your Instagram, X, or TikTok account, you can verify your identity, making it clear to fans that you are the real deal. This verification not only protects your content but also boosts your credibility, allowing your audience to confidently support you through subscriptions (exclusive content), tipping and Pay2Chat on the RepubliK App; or trade your STOX on the STOX Market.

Show the world who's boss and make sure your hard work pays off.

What is the Token Burning Mechanism for RPK?

The Token Burning Mechanism for RPK involves two key components:

Creator STOX: Users who issue Creator STOX on the RepubliK App will send a fixed amount of RPK Tokens to a RepubliK Burn Wallet that burned periodically during community burn events. This ensures a deflationary effect, reducing the total supply of RPK and potentially increasing its value over time.

Transaction Fees: The RepubliK App will burn a portion of the fees generated from transactions. This applies to trading fees, as well as other platform-generated fees, contributing to the deflationary mechanism and supporting the overall health and value of the RPK ecosystem.

Are there gas fees in withdrawing RPK Tokens?

Yes, withdrawals from the RepubliK App are subject to gas fees, which are automatically added to the withdrawal amount in RPK. Both RPK on ERC-20 and RPK on Arbitrum can be withdrawn directly from the RepubliK App.

Will there be KYC in the future?

While there is no KYC needed for enjoying and interacting on the RepubliK App, users are required to pass a basic facial verification process which prevents bot activity and activates the use of monetisation functionalities.

How do I become a RepubliK Ambassador or Moderator?

The green prestige badge with the RepubliK flag is used to easily identify RepubliK Team Members, Official Partners or Official Ambassadors.

Moderators who have contributed greatly and positively to the platform will also be given a white prestige badge.
