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

20%
Liquidity

Buys DIXO on open market and adds to DEX liquidity pools

10%
Rewards

Buys DIXO to fund listener engagement incentives

70%

Funds platform development, infrastructure, and growth

How it works

1

Hosting revenue collected

Podcasters pay $15-39/month for hosting subscriptions

2

Net revenue calculated

Subtract payment fees and refunds to get net hosting revenue

3

30% allocated to ecosystem

Split 20% liquidity + 10% rewards (70% keeps platform running)

4

DIXO purchased on open market

Creates consistent buy pressure from real business performance

5

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.

Step 1 of 6

Podcasters Join

Pay $15-39/month for hosting

100 podcasters = $2,500/mo

The Simple Version

1

Podcasters pay for hosting

Standard subscription fees: $15-39/month depending on tier

2

30% goes to the DIXO ecosystem

This money doesn't go to us—it goes back to YOU (podcasters & listeners)

3

We buy DIXO tokens from the open market

Creates real buy pressure every single month from actual business revenue

4

Tokens get distributed

20% to liquidity pools (easier trading) + 10% to rewards (more earning)

5

Everyone benefits

Podcasters: easier to sell earned DIXO. Listeners: more tokens to earn, better prices

6

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

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
  • Build loyal community with token incentives

For Listeners

  • Earn by completing podcast episodes
  • Get rewarded for sharing and engagement
  • Redeem for creator-defined perks (merch, early access)
  • Trade on decentralized exchanges
  • 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

Case Study: King Rat

First tokenized IP audiobook

Launching Jan 16, 2026 on Base — 37.5% IP ownership to NFT holders

NFT Structure

Bronze NFT$30-33

~0.005% IP ownership per NFT

Gold NFT$150-165

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

Audible Sales37.5% to holders
Streaming Platforms37.5% to holders
Licensing Deals37.5% to holders
Film/TV Adaptations37.5% to holders
Merchandise37.5% to holders
Foreign Rights37.5% to holders

Creator retains 62.5% of all revenue. Distribution happens automatically via smart contract on Base blockchain.

Example Financial Model

Revenue SourceProjectedTo 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.

Future Evolution: Three-Token Ecosystem
