Appendix B: A Community-Driven Growth Engine

The Fragment Earning System

1. The Fragments system is a core component of the Andrometa Economy, designed to create a powerful, symbiotic relationship between the platform's growth and our most committed community members. It moves beyond simple staking rewards to create a unique, engagement-based ecosystem where users are directly rewarded for helping to grow the Andrometa universe.

2. The Four-Step Cycle The system is a self-sustaining flywheel that rewards active participation.

• Step 1: Stake $SHRD To participate, users stake their $SHRD tokens, signaling their long-term commitment to the ecosystem. Staking not only secures the network but also makes the user eligible to earn exclusive rewards.

• Step 2: Earn Fragments In return for staking, users earn a secondary, non-transferable token called "Fragments." These tokens represent a user's proven engagement and contribution level within the community.

• Step 3: Engage in "Creator Tasks" Fragments are the key to participating in our community-driven marketing and growth programs. Holders can use their Fragments to complete specific tasks—such as creating content, sharing news, or participating in community events—that directly contribute to the platform's visibility and user acquisition.

• Step 4: Revenue-Backed Repurchase To close the loop and reward these contributions, a portion of Andrometa's real-world publishing revenue is allocated to a "Fragment Repurchase Program". We use this revenue to buy back the Fragments from the community members who have earned them by completing tasks, providing them with a direct share in the platform's financial success.

This system ensures that our most dedicated supporters are not just passive holders, but active partners who are directly rewarded for their role in building the Andrometa universe.
