Artmuseo Platform Tokens
The Artmuseo Token is the lifeblood of our ecosystem — a shared current flowing between artists, collectors, and curators. It was created not to chase markets, but to sustain a culture of creativity and participation.
Artmuseo Platform Tokens
Inside Artmuseo, the token is a medium of creative utility. It can offset a portion of artwork purchases, fund node operations, and recognize meaningful curatorial work. Outside the platform, it has no monetary value and cannot be converted to fiat or external cryptocurrencies. Convertibility, if any, will be considered only after community governance is live.
Artmuseo DAO Future
That governance arrives with the Artmuseo DAO. Its mandate is simple: let the community steer the network. The DAO will set ongoing policy for emissions, define how epoch bonuses evolve, and determine if and when broader liquidity makes sense for the ecosystem. The complete framework—including measurement standards, epoch timing, and schedule completion—will be published in the Artmuseo Whitepaper. It is being written to be practical, transparent, and faithful to the core idea that art should remain at the center of this economy.

Proposed Token Mechanics
There will only ever be eight billion Artmuseo Tokens. Each one represents a piece of the world we’re building together — where art, technology, and community coexist in balance. A portion supports the ArtNode network that powers our distributed infrastructure. Another flows to artists and curators who bring the platform to life through their engagement and contribution. The rest is reserved to sustain our ongoing development, collaborations, and the creative initiatives that extend Artmuseo’s reach.
Distribution happens in epochs. Each epoch includes a performance bonus pool designed to amplify real contribution. Uptime, storage reliability, bandwidth, and verified service to the art community are measured. Nodes that consistently meet these thresholds earn more; nodes that do not simply earn less. Artist and curator engagement can unlock parallel bonuses tied to thoughtful participation on the platform. These bonuses are carved from that year’s emission, not from additional supply, so the schedule stays intact while the network rewards excellence.
Artnodes Earn Tokens for Node Work
Out of the total allocation reserved for Node Runners, ten percent of the supply is released during the inaugural year. Every active ArtNode earns daily points according to its license type and verified performance. A standard ArtNode receives 1 point per day of uptime. An ArtNode Pro earns 4.5 points, reflecting its greater bandwidth and processing contribution.
At the close of each day, all active nodes’ points are totaled, and that day’s token emission is divided proportionally among them.
For example, imagine 100 nodes are active:
• Total points = 70 × 1 + 30 × 4.5 = 205 points
• Tokens per point ≈ 876,712.33 ÷ 205 = 4,276.65
• Daily payout:
• ArtNode (1 pt): 4,276.65 tokens
• ArtNode Pro (4.5 pts): 19,244.90 tokens
At current cycle, uptime is measured as 1 point for 80% uptime and scaled to actual calculated uptime.
Node Token Distribution (Beta)
During the beta phase, Artmuseo’s reward system is guided by a performance rule designed to keep participation open while still honoring reliability. Each ArtNode is measured through an Uptime Tracker that records how consistently it remains active.
Nodes maintaining 80% uptime or higher earn the full point value for their license type. Those operating below 80% receive a proportional share. For example, 70–79% uptime earns 0.9 points, 60–69% earns 0.8, 50–59% earns 0.7, and anything below 50% does not qualify for daily rewards.
An ArtNode begins with a base value of 1 point, while an ArtNode Pro carries a 4.5× multiplier to reflect its higher capacity and workload. Both follow the same uptime scale, which determines how much of their potential reward they receive each day:
80% + 1 4.5
70% + 0.9 4.05
60% + 0.8 3.6
50% + 0.7 3.15
49% < 0 0
Token Utility
The Artmuseo Token is designed to live where creativity and value intersect. It is the thread that connects artists, collectors, and participants across our growing ecosystem. Within Artmuseo, tokens aren’t meant to sit idle — they move through the creative cycle itself.
Artists will soon have the option to accept partial payments in tokens for their artworks, blending traditional sales with community participation. Beyond art purchases, tokens will flow into Artmuseo’s goods marketplace, where artists and collectors can exchange them for art materials, studio tools, and creative essentials. They will also play a role in event access, allowing holders to redeem tokens for tickets to exhibitions, workshops, and Artmuseo-sponsored gatherings around the world.
As the ecosystem expands, tokens will become the connective key across Artmuseo’s suite of creative applications — from Artist Tools and Portfolio Builders to Curating, our reflective art experience that rewards engagement and insight. Every use strengthens the circular economy of art, where participation has tangible value.
In time, the Artmuseo DAO will guide the transition of this closed utility token into a convertible community token, unlocking governance rights and broader liquidity within approved frameworks. Until then, the token remains a medium of creative exchange — a currency that rewards involvement, empowers artists, and sustains the collective vision of Artmuseo.
