FAQ

The platform

What is MIAU? A creator social platform with an open discovery feed. Fans find creators on the feed, then subscribe, unlock posts, tip and message them in the same place. Every creator is a verified human, every upload passes an eleven-layer screening pipeline before it can appear anywhere, and creators keep 88%.

Do I need an account to browse? No, and that’s the point. MIAU is the only platform in the world granted permission to run a free, open discovery feed in front of paid creator content, with nothing standing between a visitor and the feed. Only content rated clean ever reaches the open feed, so the door stays open. Where the law requires it, age verification happens at the moment of purchase. See Trust & Safety.

What appears on the open feed? Only content rated clean. Our own AI reads every upload the moment it lands, rates it, and decides where it can appear. Everything else stays behind the creator’s own paywall, where creators sell whatever they want, within the law.

Are the creators real people? Yes. Every creator passes identity verification (government ID plus face match) before they can publish or earn. There are no AI profiles on MIAU.

How do I become a creator? Sign up at miausocial.com, open Creator Studio and set up your creator profile, verify your email, then verify your identity. After that you can publish and earn. It’s open to everyone, no invite needed.

Can I pay by card? Card payments are approved and go live with the official platform launch in October. Crypto payments are live today, priced in dollars.

How do creators get paid? Creators keep 88%. Earnings clear after a short hold and are paid out on a regular schedule; payouts settle in crypto today.

The token

Is $MIAU an investment or a security? 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.

Why does the token even exist? So fans can pay for content with it at a discount, and so the platform’s revenue ends up holding the token. When a fan pays with $MIAU, the creator is paid in stable money out of a pot MIAU fills from its own commission, and the fan’s coins go to the treasury, where they stay. The full mechanism is in the Litepaper.

Who pays for the Pay with MIAU discount? MIAU does, out of its own commission. Never the creator: their earnings are calculated on the full price on every sale, whatever the fan paid with.

If the token’s price drops, do creators still get paid? Yes. Always. Creators are paid in stable money, and the token never sits in the payment path. Even if $MIAU went to zero tomorrow, every creator would still get paid in full.

How does the price not mess up a purchase? Everything is priced in dollars. At the moment of purchase we read the live market price of the token and charge the exact dollar amount in coins, at the real price right then, never an invented rate. The fan pays the real price and the creator is paid the right amount.

What’s the buyback? A percentage of MIAU’s commission from card and stablecoin sales is set aside in real dollars: the pot. When a fan pays with $MIAU, the creator is paid from that pot in stable money and the fan’s coins go to the treasury, never to be sold. Dollars out, tokens in: that is a buyback, and the pot refills as the platform sells.

The buyback is a rule-based supply mechanism funded by a percentage of the platform’s commission. 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.

Why not just make $MIAU the money of the app? Because tying a marketplace to a token price kills the marketplace. Projects that made their token the in-app currency collapsed in their first bear market: the price falls, the people selling stop being paid properly, and everything unwinds. On MIAU, content is priced in dollars and creators are paid in stable money, in every market.

Does MIAU create new tokens as rewards? Never. The token’s mint authority is revoked on-chain, so no new $MIAU can ever be created, by anyone. Nothing in the design depends on the next buyer arriving.

What if the pot is empty? Pay with MIAU pauses until card and stablecoin sales refill it. The other ways to pay keep working, and creators are paid the same either way.

Will the team dump their coins? Roughly 60% of the supply sits in a treasury controlled by a multi-signature wallet, much of it locked on-chain through Streamflow, where nobody can move it before its unlock date, including us. The mint and freeze authorities are both revoked, and the tokens fans pay with are never sold. All of it is verifiable on-chain.
