After a comprehensive evaluation, InstinX has chosen Polygon PoS as its primary deployment platform. Polygon’s low transaction fees and high throughput effectively support high-frequency interactions and large-scale NFT issuance, while also reducing operational costs. As a mature ecosystem fully compatible with EVM, it not only accelerates product development and iteration but also provides a solid foundation for InstinX’s on-chain payments, staking rewards, and fund management, thanks to its rich API/SDKs and stable NFT and DeFi markets. Furthermore, Polygon’s strong brand credibility and ecosystem resources will help InstinX expand beyond crypto-native users and achieve rapid growth.
Soulbound Token
InstinX’s SBT is a non-transferable credential bound to identity, designed to solve the centralization and speculation issues common in traditional governance. It links voting rights directly to community contributions, serving as the foundational mechanism for community decision-making and identity verification. This ensures decentralized, fair, and transparent governance. SBTs are divided into two main categories that together drive a collaborative model across the dual dimensions of ‘content and mechanism.’
SBT Categories and Roles
Community Governance SBTs: Issued to core consumers, promoters, and operators, with quarterly evaluations based on community contributions. They are tiered into LV1 (Community Observer) and LV2 (Community Leader), used for participating in content management and rule-making.
Financial Governance SBTs: Primarily for major investors, operators, and some promoters, with weekly evaluations based on economic contributions. They are tiered into Class A (Partners) and Class B (Auditors), used for participating in budget proposals and financial audits.
Technical Implementation
SBTs are based on the ERC-721 non-transferable extension standard. All permission verifications are executed by on-chain smart contracts and recorded in on-chain logs, ensuring decisions are public and tamper-proof. We leverage the Polygon network, Thirdweb contract templates, and IPFS decentralized storage to achieve rapid and efficient system deployment.
SBT Core Data Structure
The core data for each SBT is stored on-chain, with a structure including the following fields:
tokenId: A unique identifier for the identity credential.
owner: The bound wallet address (immutable unless revoked and reissued).
roleType: The governance role type (Community Governance / Financial Governance).
roleLevel: The role level (e.g., LV1/LV2 or Class A/B).
metaURI: Points to decentralized storage (IPFS/Arweave) metadata containing user contribution records, reputation scores, etc.
status: The SBT’s current state (active / suspended / revoked).
issuedBy: The contract address and admin signature, ensuring the credential’s uniqueness and anti-forgery.
NFT Ticket
NFT credentials are designed to function as a cultural token and a gateway to the ecosystem, not just as a digital asset for financial transactions. The system distributes NFTs through community tasks and social interaction, aiming to lower the barrier for new users and drive community growth in a natural way. This mechanism turns active user participation into a direct reward, building a contribution-based incentive system.
We issue two distinct types of NFT credentials:
Core User Credential: This is the foundational pass to our community. Each user receives only one, and it is non-transferable, functioning like a Soulbound Token. This credential grants holders free access to platform shows and the ability to interact with models, creating a tokenized “own-to-access” system that deepens engagement beyond traditional Web2 models.
Commemorative Tickets: These NFTs are issued for special events or anniversaries. Unlike the core credential, they are fully transferable and designed for collecting and sharing. Their value is symbolic, carrying the emotional weight of a shared community experience rather than encouraging financial speculation.
Overall, our NFT Ticket system is rooted in the philosophy of “light finance, heavy culture.” It seamlessly blends identity verification, behavioral incentives, and cultural belonging to ensure InstinX is built on a foundation of both cutting-edge blockchain technology and genuine community sentiment. The system is deployed on the Polygon mainnet, using Thirdweb for efficient, low-code issuance and management.
Token Issuance
The ISXT token, issued on the Polygon blockchain, is a crucial economic element within the InstinX platform ecosystem. It combines transactional and functional properties to connect users, models, and community governance mechanisms, providing liquidity support and value facilitation for the decentralized adult interactive ecosystem.
As a contract-based token, ISXT leverages Polygon’s low gas fees and high throughput, ensuring smooth and cost-effective user experiences for transactions, tipping, NFT redemption, and other operations. This significantly enhances the platform’s usability and accessibility. Users can acquire ISXT through various channels, including direct investment, secondary market purchases, consumption mining, referral mining, and rewards earned from community governance and interactions. This diversified acquisition approach ensures broad token distribution and healthy liquidity, further encouraging active participation in the InstinX ecosystem.
ISXT’s primary use cases focus on internal incentives and value exchange. It serves as the core tool for incentivizing model content creation, allowing users to tip or pay for customized content with ISXT, thereby establishing stable content production incentives. Additionally, ISXT can be exchanged for NFT-based revenue rights issued by the platform, which represent community revenue distribution rights and give ISXT derivative financial attributes. Users may also spend ISXT on platform value-added services, such as content unlock packages, identity verification, and fan badges, driving a dual value mechanism through consumption and community engagement.
Moreover, ISXT is fully tradable on external secondary markets. This means ISXT is not just an internal utility token but also a digital asset with potential appreciation, injecting financial vitality into the community ecosystem and enhancing the platform’s economic model appeal and stickiness. InstinX plans to further expand ISXT’s functionality, creating a sustainable value cycle for users, models, investors, and operators.
To ensure fair distribution and long-term incentives, a portion of ISXT is reserved for community ecosystem development, platform operations, and technical R&D. Token release follows an on-chain smart contract schedule and is governed by the SBT (Soulbound Token) framework, granting the community oversight and participation rights over token inflation and ensuring sustainable evolution under transparent mechanisms.
To stabilize market expectations and enhance scarcity, InstinX regularly uses platform revenues to repurchase ISXT tokens from the secondary market. The buyback fund pool is replenished every two weeks (14 days), with 15% of net platform revenue (after deducting model procurement costs) allocated to the buyback pool. Of the repurchased ISXT, 50% is burned, and the remaining 50% is retained as liquidity reserves. The mining rewards also undergo a gradual decay over time, establishing a deflationary mechanism. This approach promotes the long-term healthy growth of ISXT’s value and encourages users to hold tokens for extended periods.
ISXT tokens are issued on the Polygon mainnet, conforming to the ERC-20 standard to ensure broad compatibility and usability. The smart contract supports minting, burning, transferring, and permission management, meeting diverse economic demands within the ecosystem.
For security, the ISXT contract integrates multiple safeguards, including multi-signature control for contract ownership to prevent single-point privilege abuse, and protections against reentrancy attacks. Total supply control and distribution strictly follow the whitepaper guidelines, with issuance governed by on-chain timestamps supporting on-demand minting and locked release mechanisms.
The total supply of ISXT tokens is 20 million, released progressively through a phased and flexible issuance schedule aligned with market demand. The initial issuance price is $0.05 USD (stablecoin equivalent) per token, with a first issuance valuation of $1 million USD (stablecoin equivalent). Future plans include reducing the total token supply to 10 million through buybacks and fee-burning mechanisms.
The token allocation breakdown is as follows:
Investors hold 25%, totaling 5 million tokens, subject to progressive vesting, locking, and release according to investment agreements.
The operations team is allocated 15%, totaling 3 million tokens, granted progressively based on team contributions, vesting, and locked release schedules.
Mining rewards account for 50%, totaling 10 million tokens, distributed gradually via mining mechanisms.
Community rewards constitute 5%, totaling 1 million tokens, designated for content contributors.
The liquidity pool holds 5%, totaling 1 million tokens, ensuring liquidity for small-scale investments.
Mining rewards operate as follows:
Consumption mining: For every $1 USD (stablecoin equivalent) spent by users, 1 ISXT token is rewarded.
Referral mining: For every $1 USD (stablecoin equivalent) spent by users, their direct referrer receives 2 ISXT tokens, the referrer’s referrer receives 1 ISXT token, and the referrer’s referrer’s referrer receives 0.5 ISXT tokens—covering three levels of referral rewards.
Mining rewards are calculated weekly based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), with reward calculations completed every Monday and distributions executed on Tuesday. After two months of project operation, the mining reward decay mechanism will be determined through a vote by SBT holders to ensure fairness and sustainability of incentives.
Staking & Dividends
ISXT contract token is designed to ensure the openness, real-time responsiveness, and fragmentation of the system. InstinX enables every participant’s actions and contributions to be instantly converted into ISXT token incentives, realizing the principle of “contribution equals earnings, earnings can be liquidated,” thereby driving an economic model powered by community consensus and providing real-time feedback for each unit of labor and value produced.
However, as a contract token, ISXT’s market price fluctuates due to supply and demand, market sentiment, and external factors, which can cause economic uncertainty for holders and make it difficult to establish a predictable and sustainable long-term income model. To address this, InstinX has developed a token staking and stablecoin dividend mechanism that anchors the rights to revenue distribution through staking, building a robust bridge between community contributions and long-term rewards, effectively linking user behavior with returns.
This mechanism operates on the Polygon chain and leverages Thirdweb’s low-code development tools to deploy smart staking contracts, ensuring transparency, fairness, and on-chain verifiability of the staking and dividend processes, while enhancing user experience.
Specifically, users stake a certain amount of ISXT tokens to become holders of community stable income rights. The community distributes stablecoin dividends in fixed cycles based on each user’s proportion of effective staked tokens relative to the total effective stake, closing the loop of “contribution equals reward, staking equals entitlement.”
The staking dividend cycle lasts two weeks (14 days) and follows Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for settlement. Each cycle settles on Monday, with dividends paid out on Tuesday. To ensure continuity and long-term commitment, users must maintain a minimum stake of 100 ISXT and a minimum effective staking duration of 10 days to qualify for dividends in the current cycle.
Each new staking operation incurs a 3% fee on the newly staked tokens, which are permanently burned to incentivize long-term staking and control token supply. Withdrawals after the minimum staking period incur no fees.
The total dividend pool is set at 50% of the platform’s net revenue after deducting performer procurement costs. User dividends are calculated proportionally as follows:
The user’s dividend = Total Dividend Pool × (User’s Effective Stake / Total Effective Stake)
This model ensures a fair, transparent, and sustainable reward distribution system that strengthens user confidence and promotes long-term participation in the InstinX ecosystem.
Revenue Rights Token
NFT Revenue Certificates are key on-chain assets within the InstinX community, characterized by their indivisibility and transferability. They are built upon the foundation of primary market investments and option allocations involving investors and the operations team. Investors obtain NFT Revenue Certificates by locking a fixed amount of ISXT tokens. As cryptographic proofs of “revenue rights” within the community, these NFTs entitle holders to receive stablecoin dividends proportional to the amount of locked tokens they represent relative to the total locked token pool, distributed during fixed dividend cycles.
These NFT Revenue Certificates are deployed on the Polygon public blockchain using ERC-721 compliant smart contracts, ensuring each NFT’s uniqueness, indivisibility, and transferability. The smart contracts manage the minting, transfer, mapping of locked token amounts, and binding of dividend rights, thereby guaranteeing on-chain ownership confirmation and transparent asset circulation.
Leveraging Thirdweb’s low-code development framework, the team can efficiently deploy ERC-721 NFT contracts, enhancing user experience and operational convenience. Future expansions may include NFT staking, leasing, and NFTfi integrations, unlocking diversified DeFi use cases and maximizing the asset’s value potential.
The minimum investment threshold for primary market investors is 50,000 ISXT tokens, with a 12-month lock-up period. The token price is determined by SBT holders through votes that consider project valuation and market conditions. Similarly, options or rewards allocated to the operations team are locked for 12 months, with prices decided via SBT voting.
NFT Revenue Certificates follow a biweekly (14-day) dividend cycle, uniformly settled based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Settlements are completed every Monday, with dividends distributed on Tuesday. The dividend pool equals 20% of the platform’s net revenue after deducting performer procurement costs. Each NFT’s dividend is calculated as:
Dividend = Total Dividend Pool × (Locked Token Amount Corresponding to the NFT / Total Locked Token Amount)
In summary, the platform allocates net revenue from total sales (after performer costs) as follows: 15% to the buyback pool for ISXT token repurchase, 50% for token staking dividends, 20% for NFT Revenue Certificate dividends, and 15% to the operational fund supporting community development.
As the community matures and revenue grows, the market value of NFT Revenue Certificates will reflect their actual earning potential, establishing a pricing mechanism in secondary markets. Although the NFTs themselves are indivisible, holders can transfer them to maintain liquidity. Future functionalities may also include NFT leasing, staking, and emerging DeFi applications like NFTfi, further enriching asset utility and value expression.
Additionally, the rights associated with NFT Revenue Certificates are secured by smart contracts, ensuring immutable dividend entitlements, thereby enhancing investor confidence and community trust.
