Distribution Model

Tokenized Songs

When trading is enabled:

Token Pool80%
Platform20%

Revenue added to Uniswap pool via donate().

How Pool Revenue Works

1. Platform collects ad revenue (ETH)
2. 80% sent to song's Uniswap pool
3. donate() adds ETH to reserves
4. Token price increases
5. All holders benefit proportionally

Example

Before donation:
Pool: 1 ETH + 20,000 tokens
Token price: 0.00005 ETH

Revenue: 0.1 ETH donated (80% of 0.125 ETH)

After donation:
Pool: 1.1 ETH + 20,000 tokens
Token price: 0.000055 ETH (+10%)
