In recent years, virtual idols have gradually moved from niche culture to the mainstream. Whether it’s Japan’s Hololive or Korea’s PLAVE, they have attracted a large number of young people. The essence of fan economy is to create a deep connection between supporters and idols, and Alt.town takes this relationship a step further through blockchain technology.
In Alt.town, each virtual idol issues their own DNA token. Fans purchase DNA not only to support their idols but also to hold the “digital value” of the idol. The price of DNA is determined by market supply and demand, and fans can trade on the platform’s “Town” market. This way, a direct value bond is established between the idol’s growth and the support of the fans.
At the same time, Alt.town has established the TOWN governance token. Users holding TOWN can participate in governance voting, such as deciding the token release schedule, platform event arrangements, and more. For deep supporters, this is not only a way to invest but also a right to participate in the direction of idol development. Another highlight of fan economy is community and interaction. DNA holders can access exclusive communities to interact deeply with idols, participate in events, vote, and even create NFTs.
In terms of token distribution, TOWN has a total supply of 2 billion, allocated to various parts such as the community, ecosystem, investors, and team, with clear locking and releasing mechanisms to ensure the long-term development of the platform. Compared to some projects that purely rely on speculation, Alt.town’s design focuses more on sustainability.
Of course, the risks cannot be ignored. The popularity and fan base of virtual idols often fluctuate greatly, and if an idol’s influence declines, their DNA price may drop accordingly. Additionally, the user growth rate of the Web3 platform and the stability of the governance model are also key factors that determine the success or failure of Alt.town. Overall, Alt.town offers new solutions in the combination of fan economy and Web3 technology. If you are a fan of virtual idols or interested in Web3 fan economy, Alt.town is worth paying attention to.
