Every cultural movement begins with a rhythm—a pulse that allows people to transcend themselves and move together. In the 1990s, this rhythm flowed between warehouses and dance floors; today, it traverses the internet and code. The only constant is humanity's instinctual desire to connect.

RaveDAO exists for this connection, evolving from a series of live events in Singapore, Dubai, Seoul, Miami, Hong Kong, Brussels, Bangkok to Amsterdam into a global network that connects entertainment and infrastructure. RaveDAO links artists, organizers, and fans through a system that integrates cultural experiences with on-chain participation.

Now, with the launch of $RAVE, this network has welcomed its own economic system. $RAVE serves as the coordinating layer that connects every branch, event, and creator within the entire ecosystem. It drives governance, incentives, and real-world activities (such as payments), making culture itself a runnable protocol.

Token Distribution

The total supply of 1 billion $RAVE tokens forms the foundation of RaveDAO's cultural economy. The distribution structure is designed to support long-term sustainability, reward genuine participation, and ensure that growth benefits the entire community.

· Community (30%): Empower local branches, ecosystem builders, and loyal fans through governance funding, incentives, and rewards to drive global community growth.

· Ecosystem (31%): Used for brand and ecosystem collaborations, partner events, and technological infrastructure development, driving global user expansion and the popularization of on-chain experiences.

· Initial Airdrop (3%): Initial airdrop for users and contributors who participated in RaveDAO events.

· Foundation / Impact Fund (6%): As a long-term reserve for public welfare projects (such as Rave for Light) and other impact programs governed by the DAO.

· Team and Co-builders (20%): To incentivize the core founding team, key contributors, strategic advisors, and long-term partners, promoting the continuous evolution of the ecosystem.

· Early Supporters (5%): Rewards for early partners and institutions that trusted and supported this movement.

· Liquidity (5%): To provide sufficient liquidity on major trading platforms, ensuring smooth entry and trading experiences for participants.

Token Release Plan

At the TGE, approximately 23.03% of the total token supply will enter circulation, primarily for ecosystem expansion, initial airdrops, and liquidity arrangements.

The remaining tokens will be gradually unlocked following a "12-month lock-up period + 36-month linear release" structure. This progressive release structure helps maintain market stability and ties incentives for all parties to long-term participation and growth.

Specific release rules for each category are as follows:

· Community (30%): 12-month lock-up, 36-month linear release

· Ecosystem (31%): 15.03% unlocked at TGE, remaining 15.97% locked for 12 months before linear release

· Initial Airdrop (3%): 100% unlocked at TGE

· Foundation / Impact Fund (6%): 12-month lock-up, 36-month linear release

· Team and Co-builders (20%): 12-month lock-up, 36-month linear release

· Early Supporters (5%): 12-month lock-up, 36-month linear release

· Liquidity (5%): 100% unlocked at TGE

Token Utility

$RAVE is born for participation, allowing every participant to co-create, co-own, and share in the culture they love. Its functional design revolves around three core layers: B2B, B2C, and DAO governance.

B2B: IP, Licensing, and Staking

· Stake-to-License Mechanism: Event organizers obtain authorization to use RaveDAO IP by staking $RAVE, enabling them to operate events that meet global standards.

· Local Branch Activation: Initiate new "Road to RaveDAO" cities and branches through DAO-approved funding programs.

· Partner Qualification Certification: Production, beverage, and experience service partners must stake $RAVE to obtain certification.

· Artist and Label Collaboration: Artists can stake $RAVE to co-issue digital collectibles, remix licenses, or Web3 co-branded projects with the RaveDAO brand.

B2C: Experience and Interaction

· Exclusive Benefits: Stake $RAVE to unlock VIP levels, artist meet-and-greet slots, and priority ticket purchasing rights for events.

· Digital Collectibles: Participate in limited artist collaborations or NFT releases.

· Payment Functionality: Use $RAVE to pay for tickets, VIP boxes, and on-site consumption at flagship events and branch locations.

· Community Incentives: Earn $RAVE rewards through content creation, inviting participation, and offline interactions.

DAO Governance: Community Decision-Making Layer

· Voting Rights: Decide on event locations, artist lineups, venues, and charitable fund allocations. Branch proposals: submit and vote on new "Road to RaveDAO" branches and project launches.

· Ecosystem Funding: Provide financial support for artists, community builders, and collaborative projects.

Value Accumulation and Deflation Mechanism

RaveDAO's ecosystem continuously injects intrinsic value into $RAVE through real usage scenarios and ongoing returns.

· IP Expansion Flywheel: Every music festival, every branch, every collaboration strengthens token demand and cultural influence.

· Event Revenue Cycle: Ticketing, NFTs, sponsorships, and other offline and on-chain revenues continuously drive token circulation.

· Buyback and Burn Mechanism: A portion of event profits is used to buy back and permanently destroy $RAVE.

· Stake-to-Earn Mechanism: Organizers, artists, and partners can earn rewards, discounts, or other benefits through staking.

Ultimately, what $RAVE builds is a long-term economic system driven by real events and cultural diffusion, rather than a short-term speculative game.

The Future of $RAVE

$RAVE is not just a token; it represents a sense of belonging and the power of co-creation.

It provides tools for the community to co-create, share value, and give back to society.

From flagship music festivals gathering thousands to supporting local emerging talents through city branch events, every use of $RAVE strengthens the entire network. Expanding from Asia to Europe and America, $RAVE will become a medium that connects people and empowers culture, allowing creativity and value to grow together.

By 2027, RaveDAO plans to establish over 50 decentralized local branches, reaching over 300,000 participants annually, and donating a portion of the revenue from each event to public welfare projects, including the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology in Nepal and Nalanda West in Seattle.

$RAVE is not just a token; it is a testament to everything that can be created when music, technology, and humanity resonate in harmony—a rhythm that continues even after the music fades. Let’s go $RAVE together and feel this never-ending beat.

About RaveDAO

RaveDAO is a global community that integrates music, technology, and mission. Since the first sold-out event in Dubai in 2024, it has rapidly expanded to Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia, creating world-class experiences and attracting over 100,000 participants, with attendance at single events consistently exceeding 3,000.
