Summary

The new system proposed by ARTUBE Project moves beyond the existing business economic ecosystem that clearly distinguishes investors, developers, and content creators using platforms, providing a fair opportunity for everyone to participate in the business and enjoy its benefits by supporting various methods in which anyone can become an investor or a sponsor

This White Paper proposes a way to establish a new total digital content platform for the coexistence of business operators and investors through the ‘ARTUBE Project’, newly started by the ARTUBE Project Team. We will improve the processes of our previously traditional digital media content business based on traditional practice to explain a new investment method and a P2P system that directly connects content creators and consumers. The new system proposed by ARTUBE Project moves beyond the existing business economic ecosystem that clearly distinguishes investors, developers, and content creators using platforms, providing a fair opportunity for everyone to participate in the business and enjoy its benefits by supporting various methods in which anyone can become an investor or a sponsor.

In addition, ARTUBE Project will attract active investment from comprehensive media platforms, including video content, such as films, dramas, and variety shows, and webtoons, and participation in a long-term economic ecosystem development program to maximize the possibility of achieving secure revenue.

The existing face-to-face socioeconomic processes, which have recently raised numerous problems due to the prevalence of various diseases such as Covid-19, are being naturally converted to contactless digitalized processes. While legacy system-based companies are struggling, companies providing digital media content, such as over the top (OTT), webtoon and web novel platforms, are flourishing. In this White Paper, ARTUBE Project analyzes the present market conditions of similar companies dominating the market and describes the originality of the business model and differentiated service strategies to be developed and distributed in the future.

Introduction

ARTUBE’s independent total digital media platform will resolve the abovementioned inequalities and introduce a system where consumers accessing the content can support and communicate with creators anytime, anywhere. A special community will be established between creators and consumers using blockchain to make this possible.

The digital media content platform market, such as the over the top (OTT), video on demand (VOD), webtoon, and web novel platforms which are currently booming in various fields, was only viable for large companies or groups with large investment support a few decades ago, even for simply implementing the concept. However, the popularization of various free software that conveniently produces diverse creative work, along with the dissemination of reasonably priced high-performance PCs and smartphones, have created an environment where anyone can create, upload, and share user-created content (UCC).

However, certain companies in absolute positions monopolize revenue in the economic system of the digital media content market, and content creators, who are the roots of platform operation, are constantly being pressured into competition and unfair revenue structure within the networks according to the algorithms and unfair contracts determined by the companies.

This unfair system with commercial intent becomes a significant difficulty for new content creators in exposing their content to consumers even if they produce and distribute high-quality content. Therefore, more people are increasingly saying that it causes creators to

pursue more stimulating and extreme subject matters than the quality of the content itself, raising ethical problems and bringing about negative social impact.

We plan to implement incubation and acceleration with general technological and funding support for producing digital media content by discovering talented creators through ARTUBE Project. Creators will produce more diverse content by securing funding through sponsorships and donations from central support services and consumers and providing content to consumers, expanding the opportunity to increase high-quality content with positive social messages.
ARTUBE’s independent total digital media platform will resolve the abovementioned inequalities and introduce a system where consumers accessing the content can support and communicate with creators anytime, anywhere. A special community will be established between creators and consumers using blockchain to make this possible. Consumers can support their favorite work and creators in more diverse ways through blockchain, and creators can clearly check the value of their work through the platform’s transparent and traceable characteristics.

Market Environment of Webtoon Platforms

Since 2010, the digital webtoon market has been growing immensely with the dissemination of smartphones and already overpowering the publishing comic book market. Previously, webtoons were known to have less engagement than published work, but they have successfully secured the public interest by overcoming their limitation by securing quality through various directions and asserting accessibility of reading content anytime, anywhere as their key characteristic.

Along with the development of online services, webtoons have discovered and fostered mega-hit works called “Super IP”, and based on this, the direct service sales of the webtoon market exceeded KRW 1 trillion and the market size of KRW 7 trillion in 2021, according to the Korea Creative Content Agency. However, it doesn’t end here. The webtoon market is expected to continue increasing its overall industry size by expanding to secondary value-added creative work like films, dramas, animations, and games.

The expansion of the global market for Korean webtoons is also a major business strategy. Korean webtoons are already showing outstanding growth in the global market. For example, KakaoPage’s webtoon service is expected to be KRW 1 trillion in annual transaction amount in Japan, known as the Kingdom of Comics, and Naver Webtoon’s global service is approaching 67 million users. After successfully targeting Japan, Korean webtoons have entered the Southeast Asian region, such as Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia, and currently targeting the North American market.

The Market Size of Chinese Comics

The Chinese comic industry has recently switched the dissemination of comics from paper to internet web services to align with the rapidly changing digitalization, similar to Korea, and settled in the new market of mobile webtoons, experiencing a second period of growth.

According to Qianzhan Industry Research Institute’s data, the average annual growth rate recorded 120% in 2019, and the production amount, including comics and animations, exceeded CNY 150 billion (KRW 26.7 trillion).

As the population consuming online comic content has reached about a billion, the entry of Korean webtoons into China, which has a content market size of about KRW 405 trillion, has been slow compared to the efforts made so far. However, recently, several works have reached top popularity rankings on China’s representative webtoon platform, “Kuaikan Manhua”, indicating the possibility for Korean webtoons to grow in the future.

Entering the Global Webtoon Market

The U.S. and Japan, comic powerhouses, still have a deep history in paper comics, which is at the center of publications. Therefore, the most challenging task for Korean webtoons was overcoming the negative responses that webtoons with long scrolls for mobile devices are inconvenient to read and boring as they lack engagement.

However, the dissemination of smartphones has changed this entire perspective, contributing greatly to establishing webtoon as a new “genre”. To prove this, Yuanta Securities stated in a report called Webtoon Next Korean Wave in early 2021, “This new comic format created in Korea has excellent portability and is loved by the MZ generation in various countries, including Japan and the United States, the world’s top comic markets.” In addition, the expansion of webtoon IP content to films, dramas, and games through the One Source Multi-Use (OSMU) method, which is already actively progressing in Korea, is contributing to the growth of the Korean entertainment market.

Problems of the Current Webtoon Ecosystem

Webtoons have achieved enormous industrial and technological growth over the past 20 years. Currently, the rapid qualitative and quantitative development of webtoons, which people of all ages and genders love, has caused various problems and side effects.
The biggest cause of these problems is the power imbalance between creators, consumers, and platforms. Webtoons are serviced to consumers through platforms due to their nature as digital content. Therefore, they are highly reliant on platforms, and the distribution structure is also increasingly becoming distorted.

Problems of the Current Webtoon Ecosystem

Reduced serial opportunities due to platform monopolization

Creators give up on many things to be “selected” on the platform for the chance to serialize on a few large platforms.

In addition, creators are concentrated on limited opportunities, making it difficult for new creators to debut.

Creators’ reduced rights & forced revenue distribution

As minimum guarantee (MG) took place as a regular contract method between webtoon platforms and creators, the existing “fee for manuscript contract’ method has decreased, damaging the value of wages, and adding a sense of debt to creators.

In addition, more creators are experiencing reduced mental and physical health due to excessive work of handling deadly serial schedules, and assistants are hired, further reducing creators’ revenue.

Problems of the Current Webtoon Ecosystem

Lack of transparency in revenue distribution and settlement

According to a survey on current webtoon creators, only 69.3% have experience receiving sales/revenue share reports, with over 30% of them saying they have never received a report or don’t know about it. (Source: Korea Creative Content Agency)

The indirect contracts due to the dual structure of creators > agency > platform are reducing the ways creators can raise issues on unreasonable contracts.

Lack of environment for creators to use their own IP

According to a survey on creators who have experienced unfair contracts, dissatisfaction with one-sided contracts that benefit platforms, such as secondary copyrights and overseas publication rights, was the highest.

ARTUBE
Webtoon Platform

ARTUBE’s webtoon platform aims to establish a structure that liberates digital media content, including webtoons, from business models that monopolize rights by building an ecosystem that provides more opportunities through low entry barriers and diverse content sales models and allows both consumers and creators to coexist based on blockchain technology.

Transparent Information Sharing Through Blockchain

People can use internal content through the basic cryptocurrency ATT and external PG services on ARTUBE’s total digital media platform. However, it can be used after switching to an internal currency with blockchain technology called Art-Point that is proportional to the corresponding value, no matter which method the funds flow.
Creators and consumers can both check the sales trends, which are difficult to know in the existing centralized platform operation formats, as the gap between cryptocurrency and fiat currency is minimized through Art-Point, the platform’s internal integrated currency with blockchain technology that cannot be forged. In particular, creators can clearly check the value of their work, providing significant support in determining their serialization direction.

Creating a Consumer-Centered Incentive Pool

The self-made “ARTUBE Platform incentive pool” is composed of a portion of fees incurred from overall economic activities on the platform. The incentive pool will be distributed differentially by measuring the contribution level to the platform of the webtoons, OTT video creations, and real-time live streaming, which will be added later. In addition, consumers will also receive the opportunity for incentive allocation if the set of activities lead to the creators, generating revenue from the content, such as participating in social media promotional events or translation or marketing support.

Ecosystem Operation Directly Participated by Members

Creators are informed of one-sided contracts in existing centralized webtoon platforms, but by staking ATT and contributing to the platform, they can participate more actively in determining the direction of the platform operation. Anyone with a certain contribution level to the ARTUBE’s governance community, whether a consumer or a creator, can propose an opinion and open governance according to the opinion. In addition, they can recruit ‘reporters’ to inspect harmful aspects of the platform, such as plagiarized content or content violating pornography regulations, and maintain a healthy ecosystem. Anyone in the ARTUBE community, including consumers, can apply to become a reporter. Rewards for reporting will occur through the ARTUBE incentive distribution mentioned previously.

Providing Personal Uploading Space for New Creators

ARTUBE plans to provide a personal marketplace domain for creators to sell digital media content to consumers directly. The marketplace will support creators in converting various digital media content, such as videos, webtoons, and photos that they have created, into non-fungible token (NFT) format and selling them.
For creators, the marketplace can be an additional revenue tool, a small community to communicate with fans, or a space for creators to host events, while fans can possess the NFT work of creators. The active and voluntary participation of the consumers is expected to vitalize the community.

The marketplace will be provided after the vitalization of the personal creative space for new creators. In the beginning, it will be provided to creators with a direct serialization contract with ARTUBE Project, and then, after recruiting additional external applicants, it plans to develop into ARTUBE’s unique NFT market environment.

Creator-Centered Reasonable Revenue Distribution

구성요소

ARTUBE Project aims to distribute creators’ revenue in a ratio that everyone can agree on. The Art-Point value spent on the platform is inversely calculated, and settlement is made according to the set ratio.

Webtoon creators’ revenue on ARTUBE is divided into paid webtoon payments and direct fan sponsorships. For paid webtoons, consumers make a payment by consuming Art-Points converted through ATT and PG services, which accumulate sales, and the creators’ revenue is determined by the contract conditions. In contrast, for sponsorships, the platform is structured to provide most of the revenue, excluding fees necessary for minimal platform operational support, to the creators.
The creators’ settlement of paid webtoon sales, which is expected to generate most of the revenue, is determined according to the platform contract. However, ARTUBE plans to provide additional funds by calculating the rank, such as the contribution level of creators who have continuously participated on the platform.

Once the contract is signed, the creator’s rank is determined through the ranking fluctuation after internal evaluation based on various factors, such as serial period, view count, and subscriber number. From the month the rank is determined, additional funds proportionate to the total revenue per rank will be provided to creators who have selected to receive ATT settlement.

Active Support of
Global Advancement

IP stands for intellectual property. As mega-hit webtoons with high view count started appearing, changes to various genres and expansion to additional businesses have actively taken place through the webtoon content IP. In addition, this phenomenon isn’t limited to Korea, but reaching success in the global market.
ARTUBE, which aims for a total digital media platform, plans to advance into the global market in the webtoon and OTT service sectors, and its first step is targeted at China. As part of this, it has secured various webtoons that have recorded more than one hundred million view counts, reviewing the possibility of competitiveness. Based on this, ARTUBE plans to set the ground for entry into China with webtoons and OTT services (web dramas, independent films, etc.) directly discovered and contracted on the ARTUBE platform through cross-contracts with Chinese webtoon platforms.

ARTUBE
NFT Market Place

According to PWC, the world’s No. 1 multinational accounting audit firm, the market size derived from changes in the economic environment expanding due to metaverse is predicted to reach about ₩300 trillion by 2025. The importance of digital ownership secured by NFTs will become more important moving forward in the metaverse, which is expected to be as powerful as the arrival of the Internet and smartphones.

he metaverse’s realization, are announcing plans to introduce NFTs and partnerships with blockchain companies. As a result, the overall expectations of content economic activities that NFTs will change have reached their peak.

As a new-generation digital media content platform, ARTUBE is also planning a decentralized marketplace where creators contracted with ARTUBE and all external creators can directly mint their works as NFTs and sell.

ators to mint various digital media content, including videos, webtoons, photos, and paintings that they’ve created, and register and sell them in the market directly without the intervention of intermediaries during the process.

The decentralized ARTUBE marketplace aims to establish stronger copyright and guarantee maximum profit for creators. Stepping away from the centralized and standardized environment of exclusive platform operators, we believe the decentralized marketplace with an active application of blockchain technology is the solution to generating maximum profit and exercising distribution and ownership.

ARTUBE
NFT Market Place

The creators who have signed contracts with ARTUBE are guaranteed the basic rights to mint their works as NFTs and register in the marketplace. External creators who are not contracted can obtain the rights to use the marketplace after enough contribution to the platform by staking a certain amount of ATT.

a work in the market, registration and sales fee are generated. However, the ARTUBE marketplace uses a post-payment method in which all fees are paid when the work is sold to increase the accessibility of creators to the market and desires to sell.

NFT content can simply sign up to the ARTUBE platform and connect their cryptocurrency wallet to purchase NFT content in the marketplace. We ensured no additional fees besides blockchain network transaction fees are generated during purchase to minimize pressure on buyers.

What makes all these possible is the decentralized marketplace structure with numerous smart contracts. Through ARTUBE, creators can sign the ARTUBE smart contract and store digital content NFTs through the P2P transfer. At the same time as archiving content, creators can decide how they are sold as NFTs.

We aim to create an environment where creators can directly set and combine various sales conditions when registering works, such as ‘immediate purchase price’, ‘minimum bidding amount’, affiliate sales fee’, and ‘Dutch auction’, through ARTUBE’s marketplace registration manager (AMR).

ARTUBE supports NFT minting through Klaytn-based (KCT) KIP-17 to reduce the pressure of network fees on all sellers and consumers using ARTUBE’s NFT marketplace and solve the issue of overall speed that Ethereum blockchain networks have.

In addition, ATT, the ARTUBE platform’s key currency, was swapped with KCT for the same reasons. ATT was first issued as ERC-20 based. However, due to high transfer fees and frequent slow speed from the network load of Ethereum-based tokens, ARTUBE established a long-term goal and decided on a Klaytn-based token (KCT) swap for small platform payment and smooth implementation of NFT smart contracts. All transactions occurring in the ARTUBE marketplace can be conducted through ATT.

Token Mechanism

The ARTUBE ecosystem is a multi-sided platform where content creators and users participate simultaneously. Therefore, ARTUBE established an economic system and an incentive
mechanism where all participants can engage in fair, autonomous, reasonable,
and continuous value-generating activities.

The ARTUBE ecosystem is a multi-sided platform where content creators and users participate simultaneously. Therefore, ARTUBE established an economic system and an incentive mechanism where all participants can engage in fair, autonomous, reasonable, and continuous value-generating activities.

The ARTUBE ecosystem has a dualized structure of ARTUBE Token (ATT), which follows Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard, and ARTUBE chain-based Art-Point, a resource for maintaining the internal ecosystem. ATT is a token that can be used outside of the platform, while Art-Point aims to circulate within the platform ecosystem. Art-Point does not just indicate the value required for calculation. It uses blockchain-based cryptocurrency technology, thus it has a similar technological structure, but the differences are that it is managed through ARTUBE’s blockchain and circulates only within the platform ecosystem.

For example, content creators who receive sponsorship with Art-Points from viewers operating specific channels within the ARTUBE ecosystem can exchange Art-Points with ARTUBE Tokens (ATT). ATT is paid following ARTUBE Token Manager’s standard when this request occurs, and the requested Art-Points are collected.

The collected Art-Points are expiry to prevent reuse as internal currency issued according to ATT’s supply rate or other objectives. Theoretically, Art-Points can only be produced as much as ‘the total circulation amount of issued ATT X exchange ratio of Art-Point’ according to the contract.

The issuing and circulation of Art-Point, managed by its own blockchain, is completely controlled based on ATT, an KCT(Klaytn Compatible Token) token. In other words, Art-Point has a technological characteristic that guarantees execution and record based on blockchain, and individuals or groups cannot arbitrarily be involved in the issuing and circulation mechanism.

In addition, Art-Point, which has been self-encrypted for platform circulation, allows transparent management that differentiates it from other platform services where operators can arbitrarily issue, incinerate, and change policies.

Governance

On ARTUBE, users can use and participate in diverse platform content, such as webtoon services and the NFT market, through the platform’s key currency, ATT. As transactions are made through one unified product, ARTUBE is increasing reliability through blockchain explorers and smart contracts where all transactions are disclosed.

However, to reach the final destination of decentralization, ARTUBE aims to introduce a decentralized governance system where creators or platform users can actively set forth and participate in the overall operation instead of a centralized operation system of existing webtoon platforms where decisions are made unilaterally

RTUBE is staking, which maintains the platform ecosystem. Users can participate in the governance vote presented by the ARTUBE team by staking more than a certain amount of ATT in the staking pool.

ARTUBE’s staking is a method with a long-term goal that provides additional rewards and voting rights to participants who delegate ATT. By staking ATT, participants can participate in the governance voting proposed by the ARTUBE team, such as the direction of the incentive pool’s use.

The ARTUBE team presents the governance of the first large ecosystem operation until the staking pool is opened and the contribution of the pool sufficient to secure reliability is distributed and voted. We are considering ways to gradually develop into detailed topics as time passes.

In the future, the ARTUBE team can consistently upgrade into a staking system that provides better rewards to participants who add significant value to the platform ecosystem, including the marketplace. Additionally, we will conduct R&D regarding securing the reliability of governance.

Ecosystem Maintenance Measures

The ARTUBE platform issues and exchanges ARTUBE Token (ATT) and Art-Point as a medium for mutual interaction between participants.

ATT can be used as an incentive for participants’ voluntary data entry, the price for data usage, the price for dispute mediation, payment for providing services, and collateral for guaranteeing contract implementation, and ultimately, it can be used as trading means for consuming all content on the ARTUBE platform.

As the platform becomes active, content consumption activities processed on ARTUBE, advertising revenue distribution to creators, or the trading amount from payments through events will increase, and ATT’s value will rise in proportion to the growth of the ARTUBE platform.

TPS & Fees

Ethereum Mainnet’s ERC-20 was issued as the initial token environment because the ARTUBE team’s ultimate goal was a decentralized ecosystem.

However, when the content supported on the ARTUBE platform was integrated through the blockchain environment and offered as a service, the biggest problem was the transfer speed and fees.

The transfer speed on the blockchain network changes according to TPS (the number of transactions per second). Recently, the Ethereum network had too many loads to handle immense transfer requests that frequently happen, along with an explosive increase in the number of users, causing slowness in speed and a gradual increase in fees.

Therefore, ARTUBE, which aims to be a decentralized platform using smart contracts on the blockchain network, selected Klatyn-based KCT swap for the ATT to allow more users to easily access with fast speed and low fees.

The lower fees through KCT will allow the platform to move closer into a decentralized form where creators and consumers can directly connect without unnecessary intermediaries through diverse smart contracts.

The ARTUBE
Platform Ecosystem

The digital media platform industry is continuously evolving and expanding as digital media, including webtoons, is experiencing global popularity. This leads to an increase in creators and content. However, due to the rapid development, creators and users are having difficulty keeping up with the more complex and advanced platform changes.

ARTUBE aims to solve the task of providing a platform where creators can freely offer content and users can easily engage with preferred content. It also aims to provide an environment where they can actively contribute and participate meaningfully to the ecosystem by combining blockchain technology and a decentralized system to improve business performance.

Creating Platform Incentive Pool

ARTUBE organizes and operates an ‘incentive pool’ to activate communication between creators and consumers, rather than unilateral content consumption, to provide a stable upload channel and an ecosystem environment for platform participants.

The incentive pool is a system that provides rewards to all participants (creators, consumers) contributing to the platform according to their activities. Participants can increase their contribution level to the platform through diverse methods, such as , , , and .

The platform contribution level refers to a participant’s qualification in receiving various rewards, such as events, services, and airdrop for users, provided through the incentive pool based on a kind of internal grading standard generated when using and supporting the ARTUBE platform.

ARTUBE’s incentive pool is activated after an advance notification is made for ecosystem expansion and development since a certain level of users and profit is generated, stabilizing the ecosystem.

The incentive pool is maintained so that a certain amount is automatically accumulated in most decentralized transaction activities occurring on the ARTUBE platform.

Until the ARTUBE platform stabilizes, establishing an incentive pool based on ARTUBE fees may not be enough to provide rewards for all participants.

Therefore, ARTUBE plans to distribute a portion of the token issued in the beginning to the supply for initial incentive payment. In the long run, we predict that the incentive pool can be operated solely on the fees that occurred on the platform through the increase in ATT’s value and platform vitalization.

Direct Sponsorship System

Users of the ARTUBE platform will be given an environment where they can directly sponsor certain creators with ATTs or support a creator to debut in the ARTUBE Challenge, beyond the unilateral method of simply receiving content.

The existence of “communities”, which are groups created by fans who have similar interests or support specific creators sharing their values with each other, is one of the best values that the ARTUBE platform pursues. Communities that move with a sense of belonging show strength in the development of the platform.

However, creating communities is difficult because there’s a lack of communication space between users or users and creators since on existing platforms, these communities are formed through simply comments on specific content.

Therefore, on the ARTUBE platform, users can sponsor creators with ATTs, and the sponsored amount will be transparently revealed through blockchain technology. Furthermore, it will evolve into a form of investment like crowdfunding to offer higher quality content on the platform.

In addition, a portion of the amount directly sponsored to the creator will be accumulated in the incentive pool, and the platform contribution level can be obtained according to the accumulated amount.

As the number of sponsorship targets, amount, and number of donations increases, additional contribution is generated. Through this, users can participate in ARTUBE’s virtuous ecosystem that uses the incentive pool.

ARTUBE plans to open an ARTUBE Challenge to discover new creators. The ARTUBE Challenge will provide more opportunities to creators who wish to debut or dream of a comeback and become a space of harmony where consumers can meet creators with the potential to grow.

The platform users can support both the platform and creators and gain contribution levels by viewing, supporting, and sponsoring content registered in the ARTUBE Challenge and the official content already provided by creators through contracts with the platform.

Governance Participation

The most definite way to participate in the governance that ARTUBE plans to apply is the delegate ATT to the staking pool to develop the platform. Through staking, participants can most certainly gain a high platform contribution level.

ATT staking is a means to simply increase the platform contribution level and gain voting power to participate in the decentralized governance across the ARTUBE platform.

ARTUBE continuously strives to ensure that, once users gain the rights to participate in governance, they can participate in the governance proposed by the ARTUBE team, from the direction of the incentive pool’s use to the overall detailed operational policy, and even directly propose governance. For more details on governance, please refer to the governance section in the White Paper.

Staking is not only used by general users but also to gain rights to register and sell works in the NFT Marketplace expected to update in the future. For creators who are already officially contracted with ARTUBE, they will receive rights to NFT minting or registering in the Marketplace for basic digital content. However, creators accessing from outside the platform can gain rights to register in the ARTUBE NFT Marketplace through ATT staking as a deposit for market use.

Providing Content

The most basic way to contribute to the platform is to provide high-quality content on the platform through an ARTUBE contract. Users can gain the most contribution level with regular serial work, including webtoons.

The value of the content is determined based on various elements, such as viewing counts, frequency, period, trend, and reliability. ARTUBE aims to regularly adjust and fairly determine the weight of each element.

Through these methods, we will push more rewards to be made in situations where the absolute value of the content accumulated on the ARTUBE platform is insufficient, offering merit to early content providers to motivate them to participate in the platform vitalization and produce higher quality content.

Coin Allocation Information

ARTUBE will invest 750 million of 5 billion ATTs to the incentive pool to maintain the initial ecosystem, so that they can be used as a resource for differentially rewarding initial participants contributing to the ARTUBE platform based on their contribution level. In addition, 750 million ATTs will be used to expand the initial marketing and network of the ARTUBE platform.

Token Burn Policy

ARTUBE has an incineration policy that adjusts the circulation amount of ATTs in the market as one of the ways to maintain ATT’s value.

Fundamentally, the key revenue model of the ARTUBE platform is based on receiving a portion of the revenue generated from a set of economic activities on the platform as fees and selling secondary copyright goods through advertisements and IP sales.

ARTUBE will allocate a portion of the generated revenue in this business model as ATT buy-back funds and plan to allocate to the reserve amount when the incentive pool is exhausted.

ATTs traded as exchange market price through buy-back will be included in the reserve amount for a certain period and go through a ‘waiting period’.

If the incentive pool does not face a liquidity shortage until a certain period, the buy-back amount is burned to increase and stabilize ATT’s value.
