$LOUD token
Paying in $LOUD or ETH, the burn, the subscriber bonus and the team lock.
Payments open after graduation
$LOUD is loudscene's own token on Robinhood Chain, launching alongside the product. It is for paying for loudscene with a discount. Nothing is given for holding it, and plans never require it. The short version is on loudscene.com/token.
Paying in $LOUD or ETH#
Crypto payments open after graduation: when $LOUD's launch curve sells out and it moves to a public pool with locked liquidity. Until then every plan is paid in dollars.
- 20% off the list price, never combined with the yearly discount (20% off at most).
- +1% swap and network: covers the pool fee, gas and price movement during the swap.
- VAT included: you pay exactly the price shown. EU businesses give their VAT number at checkout.
- Buys 1 to 12 prepaid months or credit packs. Nothing renews on its own; we remind you before a prepaid period ends. Plans that renew automatically stay on card, through Stripe.
- Prices are in dollars. ETH is swapped to $LOUD in the same transaction; the number of tokens is worked out at checkout.
| List price | In $LOUD or ETH | |
|---|---|---|
| Creator (a prepaid month, 4 videos) | $39 | $31.51 |
| Pro (a prepaid month, 14 videos) | $99 | $79.99 |
| Crypto Pro (a prepaid month, 30 videos) | $199 | $160.79 |
| Agency (a prepaid month, 50 videos) | $299 | $241.59 |
| Credit pack (+5 videos) | $39 | $31.51 |
Where the payment goes#
A small, immutable payment contract with no admin keys sends 30% of each crypto payment to be burned, in the same transaction, and 70% to the treasury, a 2-of-3 multisig that sells only what running loudscene costs.
Our share of $LOUD trading fees is split too: 30% buys $LOUD back and burns it every week, with the proof published, and 70% runs loudscene. Once an audited contract is in place, the buyback becomes automatic.
Refunds#
Crypto payments follow the same refund rules as card payments (see Billing and refunds), but only the 70% that reached the treasury can be refunded; the burned 30% is gone. Checkout shows this before you pay.
Subscriber bonus#
$LOUD trading fees fund a monthly bonus of up to 2x your videos (2.5x if you pay in crypto).
- Every paid plan counts, on card or in crypto. Free plans and credit packs do not.
- Each payment opens a 30-day cycle; yearly and prepaid plans get one cycle per month.
- Each day's pool is shared across active cycles by the plan's monthly list price, 1.5x when the cycle was paid in crypto.
- A cycle collects at most 100% more videos than the plan includes (150% in crypto): 2x and 2.5x in total.
- The bonus is added as video credits when your plan renews, at most 7 days after the cycle ends. Without a renewal it lapses. Bonus credits last 30 days.
- A refunded or disputed payment cancels its cycle's bonus.
Nothing for holding#
Holding or locking $LOUD gives no videos, plans, money or tokens. Creators can take payouts in $LOUD if they prefer, with nothing extra for choosing it.
Team tokens#
The team buys about 5% of the supply when the token is created, announced beforehand. It is locked for 6 months, then released linearly over 12 months, on a public locker. There is no presale.
Transparency#
- A public Proof of Burn page lists every burn with its transaction. Coming at launch.
- A monthly report shows fees by day, the bonus rate, the burns and every treasury sale, with on-chain links. Coming at launch.
- The addresses of the token, the payment contract, the multisig and the team lock will be published at launch, with verified contracts.
