Syndic turns subreddit-like boards into tradeable tokens. Early members hold stake. Ad revenue flows to token holders. Communities governed like DAOs.
Reddit, Facebook groups, Discord servers — millions of people create communities that platforms profit from. The participants get likes, maybe some badges. The platform gets ad revenue. That model is broken.
Syndic rebuilds this from first principles. Communities are sovereign entities — they have a treasury, issue tokens to participants, and distribute revenue to token holders through on-chain governance.
Each community issues its own token. Early members accumulate stake as the community grows. Tokens are tradeable — the market prices community value in real time.
Ad revenue generated by a community flows to its token holders. No platform cut. No middleman. Distribution happens automatically via smart contracts.
Proposals, votes, treasury allocations — all decided by token holders. Your community's rules, enforced by the blockchain. No unilateral bans by a platform overlord.
Community tokens trade on a built-in market. Buy in, sell out, or hold. Communities with real engagement attract capital. Communities that stagnate lose it.
Anyone can start a community. Define its focus, mint the token, set the initial supply allocation. The founders and early members get the best entry points.
New members acquire tokens to join. As the community grows in engagement, its token price reflects the market's assessment of that community's value.
Every dollar of ad revenue is routed through the smart contract. Token holders receive their share automatically — no platform take, no delay.
Proposals for spending the treasury, changing rules, adding features — all voted on by token holders. The community decides, the protocol enforces.
Syndic is building the infrastructure for community-owned social. The communities that get this right first will define what social media looks like for the next decade.
