Tokenize Your Community Without Building It
Save resources, reduce marketing overhead, and plug into a vetted community. No need to build your own social platform, tokenization system, or community infrastructure. Focus on your product—3Echo handles the surface, and Chain-Fi handles the Web3 complexity.

100% Community-Owned Tokens
No Team Tokens. No Preminted Supply. No Hidden Allocations.
Chain-Fi Labs operates as a revenue-based company, earning through the 20% platform margin on revenue—not through token holdings. 100% of all tokens minted go directly to the community (creators, followers, and ecosystem distributions). For full details, see Liquidity.
Why Build vs. Use 3Echo
Building a tokenized social platform is not just "a feed"—it's identity, wallets, reputation, scoring, distribution logic, and ongoing security/maintenance.
Building Your Own
- Development time: 6–12 months
- Infrastructure costs: €50k–€200k+
- Ongoing maintenance team required
- Marketing reach: starting from zero
- Smart contract development + audits
- Wallet infrastructure + account recovery
- KYC / identity / sybil resistance
- Reputation & scoring systems
Using 3Echo
- Start immediately
- Subscription model (tiered)
- 20% → platform operations, 80% → protocol liquidity/treasury mechanics
- Maintenance handled through Chain-Fi infrastructure
- Existing vetted community surface
- Chain-Fi handles blockchain complexity
- Chain-Fi Vault provides non-custodial wallets (where applicable)
- Chain-Fi Identity supports verified onboarding (including KYC where required)
- Built-in reputation scoring + anti-sybil controls
- 100% community-owned tokens
Outcome: Your technical team focuses on your core product, not social + token infrastructure.
How Project Subscriptions Create a Mini-Economy
Creating a project pool on 3Echo gives you a tokenized community economy without building custom contracts, wallets, or scoring.
The 20/80 Split
- 20%: retained as platform revenue (Chain-Fi Labs revenue model)
- 80%: flows into the protocol liquidity/treasury pool under defined rules
Note: The protocol "liquidity/treasury pool" is a protocol-managed reserve used according to defined rules. Its existence does not mean tokens are redeemable on demand, or that swaps will be available at any time, size, or price.
Tokens Mint Monthly (Protocol-Defined)
When tokens are minted from the protocol pool:
- 10% of minted tokens are locked permanently (protocol parameter)
- 90% are distributed, split:
- 50% → your project's internal pool (your mini-economy)
- 50% → global distribution pool (Ecosystem Monthly Distribution Pool)
You Benefit in Two Ways
- Internal pool distributions: you redistribute your internal pool to your community based on your configuration.
- Ecosystem distributions: your project can receive additional tokens from the Ecosystem Monthly Distribution Pool based on traffic / platform contribution (subject to scoring rules; not guaranteed).
Example: €500/month Project Subscription (Illustrative)
- €100 (20%) → platform operations
- €400 (80%) → protocol liquidity/treasury pool
- Tokens minted at the current protocol conversion rate
- 10% locked permanently
- Remaining 90% split:
- 50% → your internal pool
- 50% → Ecosystem Monthly Distribution Pool
Key point: this converts subscription spend into programmable utility/distribution capacity inside the system. Outcomes depend on usage, scoring, and protocol rules—no guarantees.
What You Get Out of the Box
No Smart Contract Development
Chain-Fi handles on-chain operations and protocol interactions. No need to write, test, and audit custom contracts to run a tokenized community.
No Wallet Infrastructure
Chain-Fi Vault provides secure, non-custodial wallet support and abstracts operational complexity where applicable.
No KYC / Identity System to Implement
Chain-Fi Identity provides verified onboarding, device controls, and higher-tier verification flows (including KYC where required), reducing bots and sybil behavior.
No Reputation System to Build
Reputation scoring is integrated, combining identity and behavior signals across the ecosystem.
Customizable Internal Pool Distribution
Each project configures how its internal pool is split—so you can match your incentive model.
- Flexible percentages: set your own split (e.g., creators / followers / reserve)
- Default preset available: 70% creators / 20% followers / 10% protocol reserve
- Adjust over time: update your distribution as your community evolves
- Match your model: creator-first, follower-first, or balanced—your choice
This flexibility lets you design incentives locally while still contributing to—and benefiting from—the Ecosystem Monthly Distribution Pool (via the global split).
Community Mingling & Network Effects
3Echo is designed for cross-pollination: projects benefit from each other's presence rather than competing in isolated silos.
Shared Vetted Community
Users are verified through Chain-Fi controls, meaning more real users and fewer bot-driven impressions.
Cross-Pollination
Your community can discover other projects, and other projects' users can discover you—driving organic reach.
Reach Expansion
- Your content is visible beyond your own followers (platform discovery)
- Feeds can be exposed via APIs for AI agents and partner surfaces (where enabled)
- Partner platforms integrating Chain-Fi can surface your project content
Marketing Spend vs. Tokenized Participation Model
Traditional marketing is typically 100% expense with no on-platform ownership.
Traditional Marketing (Illustrative)
- Paid ads: €5k–€50k/month
- Content creation: €2k–€20k/month
- Community management: €3k–€15k/month
- Total: €10k–€85k/month
- Spend is gone; no native participation asset
3Echo Model (Project Subscription)
- Tiered monthly subscription
- 20% platform operations
- 80% protocol liquidity/treasury mechanics
- Tokens minted and distributed under protocol rules
- Higher quality content can receive larger token distributions via scoring (not guaranteed)
Interpretation: this reframes "marketing spend" into participation, access, and distribution capacity inside the system—rather than pure ad spend.
Real-World Example: Chain-Fi's Use Case
Chain-Fi uses 3Echo as a public, real product surface to demonstrate infrastructure capabilities.
- Showcase capabilities: demonstrate wallet + identity + secured flows in practice
- Reach new users: discovery through the platform and ecosystem surfaces
- Vetted audience: verified users through Chain-Fi controls
- API exposure: feed visibility for partner/agent consumption (where enabled)
Call to Action
If you want a tokenized community surface without building a social platform:
- Create your project feed pool
- Configure your internal pool distribution
- Publish content, activate tasks/boosting where available
- Earn ecosystem distributions based on traffic contribution (subject to scoring rules)
