Revenue Weights for Users and Creators

Redefining Revenue Distribution in the Functional Music Ecosystem

On the ZenWaves platform, users and creators form the core of the functional music ecosystem. To encourage creators to produce high-quality content and enhance user engagement and contributions, the platform implements a transparent, fair, and efficient revenue weighting distribution mechanism. This ensures that every creator and user benefits from the platform's growth.


Core Principles of Revenue Weight Distribution

  1. Fairness

    • Ensure creators are rewarded based on the value of their contributions while recognizing users' participation and support for the ecosystem.

    • All revenue distribution is transparent and verifiable, free from human interference.

  2. Incentivization

    • Motivate creators to consistently produce premium content through revenue distribution mechanisms.

    • Encourage users to actively participate in platform growth through interactions, referrals, and governance voting.

  3. Sustainability

    • Balance long-term development for creators, users, and platform operations to ensure a healthy ecosystem cycle.


Composition of Revenue Weights for Users and Creators

Revenue on the ZenWaves platform is shared between creators and users, with the following distribution structure:

1. Creator Revenue Weights

  • Playback Revenue (80%)

    • Music playback counts are the primary source of creator revenue. Each track’s share of total platform plays determines the creator’s revenue weight.

  • NFT Royalties (Fixed: 10%-20%)

    • Creators earn royalties from initial NFT sales and secondary market transactions of tokenized music.

  • Promotion Revenue

    • Creators retain earnings from increased exposure achieved through purchased promotional services.

  • Governance Participation Rewards

    • Creators earn additional rewards for contributing to platform governance through proposals or voting.


2. User Revenue Weights

  • Referral Rewards (10%-20%)

    • Users earn referral rewards based on the actual spending (e.g., subscriptions or NFT purchases) of invited members.

  • Interaction Rewards

    • Users receive incentives for actions like liking, commenting, and sharing music, which enhance content visibility.

  • Governance Participation Rewards

    • Users holding governance tokens earn additional rewards for participating in proposals or voting.

  • Energy Stone Incentives

    • Users can accumulate rewards by using ZenWaves' energy stone system to generate or consume functional music services.


Example of Revenue Weight Distribution

Scenario: The total monthly revenue pool of the ZenWaves platform is $1,000,000, distributed as follows:

Creator Revenue (80%)

  • Total Amount: $800,000

  • Playback Revenue Allocation: $600,000

    • Allocated proportionally based on each creator’s share of total plays (e.g., if a creator’s music accounts for 5% of total plays, they earn $600,000 × 5% = $30,000).

  • NFT Royalty Revenue: $200,000

    • Earned from NFT sales and transactions.

User Revenue (20%)

  • Total Amount: $200,000

  • Referral Rewards: $100,000

    • Distributed based on the spending of referred active users.

  • Interaction Rewards: $50,000

    • Earned by users through engagement actions like liking, commenting, and sharing.

  • Governance Participation Rewards: $30,000

    • Allocated to users participating in governance activities such as voting or proposals.

  • Energy Stone Incentives: $20,000

    • Accumulated by users through energy stone activities or music service consumption.


Smart Contract-Supported Transparent Distribution

ZenWaves’ revenue weight distribution is fully automated through blockchain smart contracts, ensuring efficiency, fairness, and transparency:

  1. Real-Time Data Collection

    • The platform tracks creator playback data, user interactions, and referral results in real time.

  2. Revenue Calculation and Distribution

    • Smart contracts calculate individual earnings based on predefined weight proportions and distribute funds directly to creators’ and users’ wallets.

  3. Publicly Verifiable Records

    • All distribution records are stored on the blockchain, accessible to creators and users at any time.


Advantages of the Revenue Weight Mechanism

1. Motivates Creators to Produce High-Quality Content

  • Playback revenue is directly tied to the popularity of creators’ works, encouraging continuous improvement in quality.

  • NFT royalties provide creators with long-term passive income, incentivizing them to join and contribute to the ecosystem.

2. Enhances User Engagement

  • Users are not only consumers but also key contributors to the platform, earning rewards through interactions, referrals, and governance participation.

  • This system strengthens users’ sense of ownership and platform loyalty.

3. Promotes Ecosystem Health

  • The shared revenue weight mechanism creates a virtuous cycle of mutual support between users and creators.

  • A portion of platform revenue is allocated to incentivize participation, driving sustainable growth for the ecosystem.


Future Directions for Optimizing Revenue Weights

  1. Dynamic Revenue Distribution Model

    • Adjust revenue weights based on platform development stages. For example, increase user referral rewards during the early growth phase to rapidly expand the user base.

  2. Expanded Ecosystem Incentives

    • Introduce additional rewards for specific activities or projects, such as new feature launches or special collaborations.

  3. Cross-Domain Revenue Sharing

    • Explore additional revenue sources, such as corporate partnerships, advertising revenue, and health service income, to further optimize the revenue pool.


Conclusion

ZenWaves’ revenue weight distribution mechanism embodies the platform’s commitment to fairness and transparency. Supported by efficient smart contracts, every creator’s effort and user’s contribution are fairly rewarded. ZenWaves is not just a music platform; it’s a thriving ecosystem driven by creators and users working together.
