Wink provides two membership types for creators to earn: Passes and Subscriptions. Passes are lifelong, no-renewal, premium memberships, whereas Subscriptions are traditional monthly recurring memberships. Creators can launch either or both on Wink for free, with no hidden up-front platform fee or sign-up cost.

Passes

Passes are lifelong, premium memberships that grant permanent access to exclusive content. Fans purchase passes and can resell them on the marketplace or transfer them freely.

Features

• Limited: Creators can limit pass availability to increase rarity and exclusivity

• Freely transferable: Pass holders can resell passes on the marketplace or freely transfer them

• Zero-Cost: Creating passes is free and takes just 30 seconds to launch

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are monthly memberships. Fans access exclusive content and direct messages as long as they continue their monthly payments. Subscriptions are recurring monthly, without the need for re-signing or frontloading.

Features

• Non-Custodial: Subscription fees are paid directly to the content creator

• Gas-free: SOL is no longer required to pay network fees; both transaction and purchase fees can now be paid with USDC

• Anonymity: Unlike typical subscriptions, subscriptions on Wink are peer-to-peer and offer greater anonymity

Membership Fee Structure

Creators pay 20% on Passes primary sale and monthly subscription sales. Fees for secondary pass sales by users on the marketplace vary. More details on: Marketplace

Utility

Buyback & burn 🔥

The platform's goal is to help creators monetize their content while rewarding users with tokens of sustainable value. It achieves this through a buyback and burn mechanism fueled by platform revenue. In 2022, Wink generated over $4 million in sales through its NFT launchpad, while Patreon and OnlyFans collectively earned over $3 billion. With upcoming Web3 features, Wink aims to give creators a competitive edge. Periodically, a portion of platform profits will be used to buy back LIKE tokens. Part of the repurchased LIKE will be burned, while the remainder will be reintegrated into the ecosystem to incentive community engagement, fund strategic initiatives and promote adoption.

Community reward

Users are rewarded on the platform through creator staking pools and event-based airdrops to drive engagement and adoption. Initially, the reward token comes from the community token pool (More details on: Token Allocation). As the platform grows and generates quarterly profit, rewards will be funded through quarterly buyback.

When interacting with programs/contracts on blockchains such as Solana, network fees (gas) are paid to execute transactions. To enhance the user experience, Wink has integrated a relayer system whereby relayers pay the transaction fees in SOL for users on the platform. This means that users no longer have to worry about gas fees or topping up SOL as fees are paid natively in USDC. Topping up only USDC is sufficient to fully interact within the platform.

Gasless transaction - Functional principle

Tokenomics is the study of how a utility token operates within a platform. The value of digital assets is determined by their supply and demand dynamics; when demand exceeds supply, prices increase.

To sustain the value of the platform's native token, deflationary factors must outweigh inflationary ones. Additionally, the platform must offer value beyond token rewards to users. In essence, platform's revenue-driven token buybacks should exceed the token outflow for user rewards. In addition to implementing a buyback mechanism, there should be additional utilities that confer direct usage of the token within the application. This all is, Wink's vision for LIKE.

Monthly Token Release

Cumulative Monthly Vested Tokens

The primary payment currency on Wink is USDC (Solana), a stablecoin pegged to the U.S dollar. Users can top up their Wink wallets internally with USDC via our fiat-on-ramp partner. Our partner supports over +25 local currencies and various payment methods, including Credit Card (Visa/Mastercard), Google Pay, and Apple Pay, depending on the user's location.

As gasless transactions eliminate the need to top up SOL for gas fees, topping up USDC alone is sufficient to fully interact within the platform.

What is Wink?

Wink is a next-generation membership-based social platform that redefines the way creators and fans connect. It ensures non-custodial, instant payments while providing a suite of tools for creators to optimize workflow and enhance revenue.

• Passes: Lifelong, no-renewal memberships, limited by number & resell-able by holders

For Fans

Fans can join different memberships to access exclusive content and direct message their favorite creators. Fans can also leverage our AI explore engine to discover content and creators.

• Social Login: Log-in with social account. Upon log-in, a web3 wallet is created and linked

• Explore : Discover content. Find interesting photos, videos and accounts. Powered by OpenAI CLIP

• Messenger: Send tips, gifts, private messages, photos, videos and gifs to creators through the messenger

• Pay with Card/Phone: Top-up USDC through Credit Card, Apple/Google Pay & more

• Marketplace: Pass holders can re-sell Passes and users can purchase Passes on the marketplace

• Gasless transaction: Purchasing memberships on Wink does not incur any network fees

On Wink, users can log in with social accounts such as Gmail, Discord, X, Reddit, etc.

Upon logging in with social accounts, a wallet is created and linked to the profile within seconds. This wallet is non-custodial, and a generated private key can be exported to access the wallet's funds even if access to the social login is lost.

The wallet system is built on Web3Auth, a Web3 wallet provider. Its SDK operates only on the user's front-end and manages interactions between OAuth providers and the Auth Network. This ensures that the private key is not stored. The only stored data is an anonymized identifier from OAuth or JWT, essential for linking within the infrastructure.
