Introduction
Empowering Creators and Fans
Fanscope transforms the way creators connect with their fans by means of a decentralized finance “DeFi”, community-driven platform. Our mission is to cultivate a sustainable ecosystem where creators can thrive, and where fans can enjoy closer engagement and rewarding experiences. We are committed to providing a fulfilling, positive environment for all participants of our platform by facilitating and amplifying connections, equipping creators with the necessary tools for success, and affording fans the chance to actively participate in their journey.
Community Engagement
Fanscope’s vision is to create a fun and interactive platform, where community engagement is one of our primary goals. Within this framework, community serves as the cornerstone of support for both creators and fans. Each creator is supplied with a medium for publishing their customized updates, information, and exclusive offerings; and fans are granted meaningful opportunities for authentic interaction and access to unique experiences.
Through the implementation of a Fanscope’s reward model, as well as our capacity to empower creators to cultivate their own communities, ecosystems, and economies, we believe an extraordinary potential for reciprocal and collective achievement can be established.
What Sets Fanscope Apart
At Fanscope, we envision the future of the Web as one that democratizes ownership and earning opportunities, and benefits all involved. Well-established decentralized finance “DeFi” mechanisms have been incorporated that serve to streamline the exchanges, distribution, and transaction of tokens and rewards within the platform. By continuously rewarding the ecosystem through reward pools, sustainable growth is promoted and equitable access is provided for all participants. By integrating decentralized finance, collectibles “NFTs”, and a robust tokenomics model, Fanscope intends to redesign and redefine fan engagement and creator monetization.
In addition one of our goals was to analyze existing Web2 “information” and Web3 “value” platforms, identifying what has been successful and what barriers are preventing the next phase of content creation, fandom, and growth from reaching its full potential. Fanscope serves as a central hub that facilitates growth, bridges the current industry, and pioneers the future with Blockchain technology. We aim to provide content creators with more tools and offer fans more opportunities to engage with and grow alongside both current and emerging technologies.
Technology
Fanscope is built on the Polygon network, chosen for its scalability, low transaction fees, and Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility, making it ideal for our decentralized, community-centric ecosystem. We utilize standard token contracts, including ERC-20 for fungible tokens, representing both governance and community tokens; ERC-721 for unique, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), enabling creators to mint exclusive digital assets; and ERC-1155 for a versatile approach to digital assets, allowing both fungible and non-fungible token types.
This multi-token approach supports a dynamic economy within Fanscope by enabling transactions, rewards, and governance to occur seamlessly. Smart contracts automate transactions and interactions, and ensure transparency, security, and efficiency across the platform. This architecture not only fosters an engaging environment for creators and fans but also aligns with the latest in blockchain technology standards.
The Creator-Fan Relationship
What Can Fans Do?
Engage in platform-wide activities: Holders of the platform token can participate in events, polls, discussions, and challenges, as well as vote on key decisions affecting the platform.
Network with like-minded individuals: Create meaningful connections with other fans as well as enjoy a closer level of interaction with creators.
Explore gamified DeFi: Earn various rewards through decentralized finance mechanisms with liquidity pools, swaps and staking.
Purchase FANS tokens, Fanatic NFTs, and Creator tokens; tiered Scopes; and exclusive content, experiences and digital merchandise.
Participate in creator-specific activities and rewards by interacting with creators’ social media and content platforms.
What Can Creators Do?

Enjoy the results of incentivized fan engagement off-platform.
Creator and Fan Profiles
Creator profiles are modifiable via a personal dashboard with modular fields of input. A fan can visit a creator profile and purchase items from their store, as well as creator tokens and scopes; access their bio and links to other platforms; and play their music, watch videos, and otherwise learn more about them. The creator can update the content of their profile easily, at any time.
Similarly, Fans will maintain their own profile page via a personal dashboard. By displaying the collection of Scopes and store items they’ve purchased, they can showcase their preferences and interests, demonstrate the mutually beneficial partnership they have with their favorite creators, and be recognized for their level of commitment and support. Like creators, they can post a profile and banner photo, and provide a bio and links.
Creator Stores
Creators are able to sell digital items in their store and accept payment in the form of their Creator Token; or stablecoins. Fanscope aims to accommodate a large audience, so the ability to choose flexible methods of payment is important - a Creator can decide to create their individual token at a later stage if they desire.
Some examples of what can be sold in a creator store are: digital media, such as video and audio clips, images, and files; and token-gated content, such as early access to tickets or media, virtual experiences, access to in-person events, and longer video and audio files.
Store items are ERC1155 NFTs; each one is an edition of a unique token ID. The creator sets the price and quantity of each item, which are then written into a smart contract. Upon the sale of a store item, the Creator receives 92% of the sale and 8% to the expansion of the creator’s liquidity pool - payments are processed immediately on-chain.
Tokenomics
FANS Token
The Fanscope ecosystem is powered by its governance token “FANS”, facilitating critical platform functionality. Its utility extends across Fanscope, simplifying transactions and incentivizing participation in the broader ecosystem. This integrated approach ensures a cohesive and rewarding experience for all users.
FANS tokens serve as the backbone of the Fanscope ecosystem, enabling governance, staking, and rewarding mechanisms. Holders of FANS tokens can participate in governance decisions, influencing the future direction of the platform. Additionally, FANS tokens can be staked to earn rewards, incentivizing long-term participation and support for the platform.

Fanscope Forum
The integrated Fanscope forum serves as a nexus for fan interaction with each other and with the creators they support. Within their dedicated channels, creators can keep their fans updated with the latest news, exclusive content, and special offerings, enabling them to build and cultivate a loyal and engaged following. The forum will also host a number of public, general channels covering various topics as well as platform announcements and rules, voting discussions, and technical support.
Fanscope is a place to meet like-minded people. Sending messages, exploring with fans and discovering creators foster a fun vibrant community. Sharing our favorite music tracks or video content is a great way to find people with mutual interests.
Platform Rewards
Leaderboards
Fanscope leverages external platform leaderboards, including not limited to Gala Music, YouTube, and Spotify, to create competitive rankings and reward distribution systems. These leaderboards are driven by both external platform data and Fanscope-specific, ensuring a comprehensive and fair scoring mechanism.
Leaderboard Scoring
Each leaderboard integrates data from its respective platform: • Reach: Metrics like total views, listens or popularity. • Engagement: Metrics such as followers or subscribers. • Asset count: Number of videos, tracks, or albums.
YouTube
Total Views
Subscribers
Videos
Gala Music
Total Listens
Staked $MUSIC
Tracks
Spotify
Popularity Index
Followers
1
The Index for each creator is calculated as:
Index = log(1 + Reach) * (Engagement) / Asset count [Index is the log of Reach plus one, multiplied by enagagement, divided by Asset count]
Fanscope then calculates the leaderboard Score by incorporating staked FANS:
Score = log(1 + Index) * log(1 + FANS Staked) [Score is the log of index plus one, multiplied by log of FANS staked plus one]
Reward Distribution
Fanscope runs a dedicated distribution for each leaderboard, rewarding creators and fans based on the creator score:
Creators: Receive 20% of the allocation, proportional to their leaderboard score. Fans: Receive 80% of the allocation, distributed proportionally based on their staked FANS.
Each leaderboard will receive an allocation of 10,000 FANS at each distribution.
Distribution Frequency: Initially, rewards will be distributed weekly starting December 2024. As engagement improves, frequency may increase, enhancing the user experience and overall rewards.
Quests
Quests are subject to external platform approvals.
Fanscope incorporates gamification elements to enhance user engagement. Fans can participate in creator-specific quests and activities by purchasing Scopes. Upon completing these quests within a set timeframe, fans earn points convertible into creator tokens, fostering continuous engagement and rewarding their contributions.
Examples of quests include:
Following the artist
Listening to a track
Liking, sharing content
Subscribing to a channel
Through this system, fans benefit from the achievements of creators, while creators gain increased visibility and engagement from their supporters. As demand grows, Fanscope will integrate additional platforms to expand its gamified ecosystem.
Conclusion
