- POPOLOGY® launches as a decentralized broadcasting network built on Ethereum’s Arbitrum Layer 2, using a dual-token system of non-tradeable POPs and tradeable POPOLOGY®coin with 30 million total supply.
- The platform addresses creator compensation issues in the $250 billion streaming economy currently dominated by Amazon, Google, and Facebook through blockchain-based content ownership and transparent revenue distribution.
- Five core features comprise the ecosystem: POPcast® blockchain-recorded playlists, POPsphere™ metasearch engine, POPmercial® token-underwritten advertising, Futures in Popular™ engagement predictions, and POPOLOGIST® curator network.
- POPs function as utility points at a fixed 1,000:1 ratio to POPOLOGY®coin, earned through verifiable engagement milestones and used for platform operations and supply regulation.
- The project holds USPTO Class 41 Registration (No. 5,145,179) for media literacy education and incorporates digital rights management through DMCA.org compliance.
What Is POPOLOGY®?
POPOLOGY® is a gamified, decentralized broadcasting network that seeks to redefine content ownership, curation, and rewards. Nested in POPOLOGY® Networks, the project serves as a melting pot where diverse voices converge and harmonize in a gamified ecosystem driven by utility and creativity.
The project intends to return media ownership, monetization, and control to creators and audiences. Creators known as POPOLOGISTS® become the leading voices in this web3 creator economy, effectively replacing the centralized media with a user-driven network powered by blockchain, ensuring transparency in content ownership, digital rights, and value distribution.
Giving Back Control to Creators
The current media space is highly centralized, with control in the hands of a few tech giants such as Amazon, Google and Facebook who control content visibility, revenue allocation, and distribution.
Such a system is rigged against creators, curators, and influencers as algorithms are designed to favor the corporate giants, denying individual participants their fair compensation while the giants monetize user data, as well as consolidate both profits and power.
The result? A stagnant and exploitative ecosystem where creators are censored, brands are restricted, and audiences are commodified.
POPOLOGY® seeks to change this narrative by introducing a decentralized alternative that democratizes broadcasting through gamified content curation, blockchain-powered monetization, and a creator-first economy.
With a strong focus on Citizen Journalism, the network users known as POPOLOGISTS® have access to tools, data ownership, and incentives to contribute positively to the media landscape, thus redistributing the $250 billion global streaming economy to favor creators.
The Ecosystem: Driving Creator Independence Through Innovation
The POPOLOGY® ecosystem is built on five core innovations also known as THE ELEMENTS. These are:
- The POPcast® – Which are curated playlists recorded on the blockchain, enabling transparent ownership and immutable tracking of digital content.
- The POPsphere™ – Which is an immersive video metasearch engine that aggregates and surfaces media based on decentralized curation rather than corporate algorithms.
- The POPmercial® – Which are user-curated ad placements underwritten with tokens by brands, creating fairer and more authentic advertising opportunities.
- Futures in Popular™ – Which is a gamified engagement feature where users may commit their POPs (ecosystem tokens) to forecast the future viewership and popularity of content.
- The POPOLOGIST® – Which are users and branded influencers who shape the ecosystem by curating, creating, and amplifying content.
Powering the Ecosystem: POPs and POPOLOGY®coin
The POPOLOGY® ecosystem is powered by POPs and POPOLOGY®coin. POPs drive utility within the ecosystem and are non-tradeable.
Users can earn and spend POPs by completing verifiable goals such as audience engagement milestones and content curation goals.
They also serve as the in-app points, engagement rewards and operational credits. By pledging them, users help regulate supply circulation while contributing to network expansion.
In addition, POPs function as a virtual counter that fractionalizes the POPOLOGY®coin, with a fixed ratio of 1,000 POPs = 1 POPOLOGY®coin to ensure optimizing flexibility and utility for ecosystem participants.
In contrast, POPOLOGY®coin is a proof of stake (PoS) token issued on the Ethereum Layer 2 Arbitrum network. It is the main token of the POPOLOGY® Network, and gives users access to a wide range of platform utilities, including:
- POPmercial® – Users have access to sponsorships which underwrite brand placements within curated POPcast®
- PEERstreams™ – They have access to premium Tools for content promotion, curation features, and advanced analytics.
- Event Participation – Users can access premium events, campaigns, and network activations.
- Digital Rights Management (DRM) – They can access internet-wide content ranking, tracking, and piracy prevention in compliance with DMCA.org.
- Permissioned Data Harvesting – Users can access transparent participation via a Public Trust Ledger blockchain.
To ensure compliance to ethical digital media, POPOLOGY® holds a USPTO Class 41 Registration (No. 5,145,179) that supports its mission to advance media literacy education.
The ERC20 token has a total supply of just 30,000,000 and is strategically structured and distributed to ensure sustainability, engagement, and liquidity across the ecosystem.
