DIXO Tokenomics
Two economic models powering the future of audio: $DIXO utility tokens for podcast engagement, and tokenized IP for audiobook ownership.
Two economic models, one platform
$DIXO Utility Token
Rewards engagement in podcasts. Listeners earn tokens for completing episodes, sharing, and engaging with shows.
Tokenized IP NFTs
Fractional ownership of audiobook intellectual property. NFT holders earn from all revenue streams.

No minting. No inflation. 100 million DIXO is the maximum supply that will ever exist. This protects token holders from dilution.
Sustainable Liquidity Model
30% of net hosting subscription revenue is used to strengthen the $DIXO ecosystem monthly
Buys DIXO on open market and adds to DEX liquidity pools
Buys DIXO to fund listener engagement incentives
Funds platform development, infrastructure, and growth
How it works
Hosting revenue collected
Podcasters pay $15-39/month for hosting subscriptions
Net revenue calculated
Subtract payment fees and refunds to get net hosting revenue
30% allocated to ecosystem
Split 20% liquidity + 10% rewards (70% keeps platform running)
DIXO purchased on open market
Creates consistent buy pressure from real business performance
Distributed automatically
Liquidity added to DEXs, rewards sent to engagement contract
Note: This model applies to hosting subscription revenue only. Other revenue streams (production services, courses, NFT fees) fund platform operations separately.
How DIXO Creates Value for Everyone
The more users join, the more value gets created for both podcasters and listeners. Here's exactly how it works, step by step.
DIXO
Flywheel
Podcasters Join
Pay $15-39/month for hosting
100 podcasters = $2,500/mo
The Simple Version
Podcasters pay for hosting
Standard subscription fees: $15-39/month depending on tier
30% goes to the DIXO ecosystem
This money doesn't go to us—it goes back to YOU (podcasters & listeners)
We buy DIXO tokens from the open market
Creates real buy pressure every single month from actual business revenue
Tokens get distributed
20% to liquidity pools (easier trading) + 10% to rewards (more earning)
Everyone benefits
Podcasters: easier to sell earned DIXO. Listeners: more tokens to earn, better prices
The cycle repeats and grows
More value → more users → more revenue → bigger ecosystem 🔄
Key insight: This isn't speculation-driven. It's business-driven. Real hosting revenue creates real value every month.
Real Numbers: How It Scales
Getting Started
Growing Fast
Full Scale
Cumulative impact: By Month 12, the platform has bought $40K+ worth of DIXO from the open market, creating consistent buy pressure and adding $27K+ to liquidity pools.
Why This Matters to You
If You're a Podcaster
More engaged listeners
They earn tokens for listening, so they have real incentive to complete your episodes
Better liquidity for your earned DIXO
As the platform grows, it becomes easier to trade your tokens at fair prices
Sustainable platform growth
No VC pressure to "exit." We grow with YOU, not against you
Your hosting fees fund the ecosystem
30% of what you pay comes back as liquidity and rewards—benefiting you indirectly
If You're a Listener
More DIXO to earn each month
The reward pool grows as more podcasters join—more tokens available for engagement
Better prices when you trade
Growing liquidity means less slippage and fairer prices on DEXs
Your tokens have real backing
Not speculation—actual business revenue buying DIXO from the market monthly
Get rewarded for what you already do
Listen to podcasts you love, earn tokens. It's that simple.
What Makes DIXO Different
❌Most Crypto Projects
- →Promise utility "someday" (never comes)
- →Hope speculation drives value (pump & dump)
- →No real revenue backing (just hype)
- →Team sells on retail (you're exit liquidity)
- →VC-funded with exit pressure (they dump on you)
✅DIXO
- →Real utility TODAY (14 podcasts live, earning now)
- →Consistent buy pressure MONTHLY (from hosting revenue)
- →Sustainable growth from BUSINESS (not hype)
- →Platform buys tokens (creating value for holders)
- →Bootstrapped, no VCs (aligned with creators, not exit pressure)
Bottom line: DIXO is backed by a real business with real revenue. The token succeeds because the platform succeeds. Simple as that.
Common Questions
What if podcasters stop paying for hosting?▼
Then the 30% allocation stops too. But here's the thing: podcasters pay for hosting because they need it (storage, bandwidth, RSS feeds). As long as they're podcasting, they're paying. And the better the platform gets (thanks to the ecosystem growth), the more valuable the hosting becomes. It's a virtuous cycle.
Why 30%? Why not more to the ecosystem?▼
We need 70% to actually run the platform (servers, bandwidth, development, support). 30% is what we can sustainably allocate to the ecosystem without compromising platform quality. As revenue scales, that 30% becomes very significant ($7,500/month at 1,000 podcasters).
When will DIXO be tradable?▼
Currently in beta testing with 14 podcasts. Token mechanics are being refined. Public trading launch will happen once we've proven the model works at scale. We're targeting Q2 2026 for public launch, but we'd rather get it right than rush it.
How do I know you're actually buying DIXO with that 30%?▼
Full transparency. All transactions happen on-chain (Base blockchain). We'll publish monthly reports showing: hosting revenue collected, 30% allocation calculated, DIXO purchased from DEXs, liquidity added to pools, rewards sent to engagement contract. Anyone can verify the numbers on BaseScan.
What stops you from changing the 20-10-70 split later?▼
Eventually, this will be controlled by a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) where DIXO holders vote on any changes. Until then, we're committed to the 20-10-70 split publicly on this page. Changing it would destroy trust and kill the platform. We have zero incentive to do that.
Is this better than just giving podcasters cash?▼
Yes, because it creates a network effect. If we just gave 30% cash back to podcasters, they'd pocket it and leave. But by using it to strengthen the token ecosystem (liquidity + rewards), everyone benefits: podcasters get better trading, listeners get more tokens to earn, and the platform grows sustainably. It's designed for long-term growth, not short-term cash grabs.
How $DIXO rewards work
For Podcasters
- →Receive $DIXO allocation when joining platform
- →Control reward structure (per episode, weekly, milestones)
- →Reward most engaged listeners automatically
- →Track on-chain engagement metrics

- →Hold for future utility expansion
Current Status: $DIXO is in beta. Token mechanics and distribution are being tested with our first 14 podcasts. Final tokenomics will be published before public token launch. Monthly transparency reports will show hosting revenue allocations and DIXO purchases.
Tokenized IP Economics
Fractional audiobook ownership model — NFT holders earn from all revenue streams
First tokenized IP audiobook
Launching Jan 16, 2026 on Base — 37.5% IP ownership to NFT holders
NFT Structure
~0.005% IP ownership per NFT
5x ownership stake (0.025% per NFT)
Burn mechanism: 5 Bronze NFTs → 1 Gold NFT
Total supply: 2,000 NFTs
1,500 Bronze + 500 Gold
Revenue Streams
Creator retains 62.5% of all revenue. Distribution happens automatically via smart contract on Base blockchain.
Example Financial Model
| Revenue Source | Projected | To Holders (37.5%) | Per Bronze NFT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audible sales (Year 1) | $40,000 | $15,000 | $7.50 |
| Streaming platforms | $20,000 | $7,500 | $3.75 |
| Licensing (if sold) | $100,000 | $37,500 | $18.75 |
| Total | $160,000 | $60,000 | $30.00 |
ROI Example: Bronze NFT holder pays $30-33 upfront, earns $30 in Year 1 revenue share = 91-100% ROI. Gold NFT holder ($150-165) earns 5x = $150 = 91-100% ROI. These are projections, not guarantees.
Pre-funding Production
NFT sales fund audiobook creation before release, eliminating need for traditional publisher advances.
Built-in Marketing
NFT holders profit when the audiobook succeeds, creating organic marketing incentives.
Transparent & Automated
Smart contracts handle revenue distribution automatically. No middleman, no delays, fully auditable.
Flexible for different projects
The tokenized IP model can be customized based on your goals:
Higher creator share
Creator keeps 80%, holders get 20%
Lower creator share
Creator keeps 50%, holders get 50%
Tiered revenue splits
First $50K: 70/30, after: 60/40
Time-limited revenue share
Holders earn for 5 years, then full IP to creator
We help you model the right structure for your project during the application process.
Economic sustainability
Platform revenue model
DIXO generates revenue through multiple streams to ensure long-term sustainability:
- •Podcast hosting: $15-39/month subscriptions (30% allocated to $DIXO ecosystem)
- •Production services: Full-service audio production $500-3,000 per project
- •Academy courses: Educational content $74-147 per course
- •NFT minting fees: 5-10% platform fee on audiobook NFT sales
No VC funding, no exit pressure
DIXO is bootstrapped. We're not beholden to VCs demanding 10x returns or forced exits. This allows us to build sustainably, put creators first, and experiment with models that actually work—not just ones that look good in pitch decks.
Long-term alignment
Our success is directly tied to creator success. The 20-10-70 model from hosting ensures that as the platform grows, the token ecosystem strengthens automatically. Sustainable growth, not speculation.
Commitment to transparency
All smart contracts are open-source and verifiable on Base blockchain. Monthly reports will show hosting revenue, DIXO purchases, and ecosystem allocations. Revenue distributions, token allocations, and ownership percentages are transparent and auditable by anyone.
