Snaps
Snaps are tokenized shares of creators that represent social access, alignment, and potential rewards. Each Snap is tied to a creator profile and allows users to participate in a permissionless social economy.
🔧 Core Mechanics
Max Supply
Each creator is limited to 1,000 Snap shares.
Once all 1,000 shares are purchased, no further shares can be minted.
Bonding Curve Pricing
Share price increases as more Snaps are bought.
Early buyers receive lower prices; later buyers pay more.
Reward Pool Mechanism
A percentage of each Snap trade contributes to a reward pool.
If no new Snap is purchased within 48 hours, the last buyer earns the full reward pool.
Access Utility
All Snap holders gain direct message (DM) access to the creator inside the Clapo platform.
📊 Example Scenarios
Scenario A: Trading Activity
User A buys Snap #5 at 6.5 USDC.
User B buys Snap #6 at 6.9 USDC.
User A can choose to sell Snap #5 if a new buyer wants it.
Prices rise progressively as more buyers enter.
Scenario B: Reward Claim
Snap #875 is purchased by User C.
No further purchases happen for 48 hours.
User C becomes eligible to claim the reward pool.
After claiming, the Snap cycle resets from Share #1.
Scenario C: Gated Messaging
User D holds Snap #150 of Creator X.
Inside the Clapo app, User D can access the DM feature with Creator X.
If User D sells the Snap, access is revoked.

Ownership: Snaps act as proof-of-alignment with the creator's brand.
Incentives: The 48-hour inactivity reward pool provides a unique timing game.
