$MIAU — Litepaper
What MIAU is
Section titled “What MIAU is”MIAU is where creators make money from their work, and where fans can actually find them.
Most creator sites have no discovery — you have to already know a creator’s name to look them up. We fixed that. MIAU has a swipeable feed, like TikTok, and the public feed is safe-for-work by design. Our AI reads how explicit every upload is the moment it lands and sorts it, so explicit content lives behind the paywall, never on the public feed.
That clean front door is the point. It’s screenshot-safe and share-safe, so it travels anywhere and keeps the platform professional. Behind their paywall, creators sell whatever they want within the law — adult or not — through subscriptions, pay-per-view, and paid messages. And every creator is a verified adult: before anyone can earn, they pass government-grade identity and age checks (18+).
It’s built today, not a promise. Subscriptions, pay-per-view, tips, paid messages, live streams, gifts — all working right now.
Creators keep 88%. Most platforms take 20%. We take 12%.
What $MIAU is
Section titled “What $MIAU is”$MIAU is the platform’s token.
One thing to get straight first: $MIAU is not the money inside the app. When a fan pays a creator, that happens in stable money (USDC). A creator’s income never jumps around with a token price. The money stays steady. The token does a different job, funded by a pot the platform sets aside from its revenue — and here it is.
Pay with MIAU
Section titled “Pay with MIAU”Fans can pay for content with $MIAU and get a discount for using it.
The good part is that nobody has to gamble on a coin:
- Everything is priced in dollars. When a fan pays with $MIAU, we check the live token price at that moment and charge the exact dollar amount in coins. The fan always pays the real price, whatever the token is doing.
- That $MIAU is held in MIAU’s treasury.
- The creator gets paid right away in stable money. They never touch the token.
So the fan saves money, the creator gets paid in real money, and coins paid this way are held in the treasury rather than recirculated. This is a supply policy, not a price mechanism, and it implies nothing about value.
The buyback
Section titled “The buyback”Here’s where the money to pay those creators comes from.
A fixed 25% of the platform’s revenue funds a pot. When a fan pays with $MIAU, the creator is paid out of that pot in stable money, and the fan’s coins are held in the treasury. As long as there’s money in the pot, fans can pay this way.
A fixed share of revenue programmatically buys $MIAU on the open market and holds it in the treasury. This is a supply mechanic tied to platform activity. It is not a payout to holders, and it creates no expectation of profit.
The buyback is a programmatic, rule-based supply mechanism funded by platform revenue. It is not a dividend, distribution, yield, profit-share, or price guarantee, and it creates no expectation of financial return. Coins acquired are held in the treasury.
Where this is going
Section titled “Where this is going”Built and ready: the discovery feed, subscriptions, pay-per-view, tips, paid messages, live streaming, gifts, leaderboards, CatNip credits, and Creator Studio.
Coming next:
- Pay with MIAU and the buyback you just read about — rolling out as the platform grows.
- A way for fans to back the creators they believe in. Coming later, built carefully and the right way.
Common questions
Section titled “Common questions”Is $MIAU an investment? We do not offer or sell $MIAU as an investment, and it carries no rights to profit, ownership, or revenue. Whether any digital asset is a security is a legal determination — read the Risks and consult your own advisers.
Will the team dump their coins? The founder and team allocation vests on a fixed schedule rather than unlocking all at once, and liquidity is locked.
Why does the token even exist? To give people a way to spend inside the app, funded by a pot the platform sets aside from real revenue, and to route spent coins into the treasury as a supply policy.
If the token drops, do I still get paid as a creator? Yes. Always. Creators are paid in stable money, and the token never sits in the payment path. Even if the token went to zero tomorrow, every creator would still get paid in full.
Any token carries risk. The price can drop, including to zero. It can be hard to sell. Technology and smart contracts can fail. Rules and laws can change. The platform can change. $MIAU trades on a public market, so we don’t control who buys it. It’s on you to follow the laws where you live.
