# Token Utilities $RAVE is designed for participation. $RAVE allows every participant to play a role in building and owning the culture they support. Its utilities are structured across three key layers: B2B, B2C, and DAO Governance. #### B2B Utilities: IP, Licensing & Staking * Stake-to-License: Event organizers stake $RAVE to franchise RaveDAO’s IP, operating under a global standard inspired by Ultra Music’s model. * Local Chapter Activation: Launch new “Road to RaveDAO” chapters through DAO-approved grants. * Vendor Qualification: Production, beverage, and experience partners stake $RAVE to qualify as verified providers. * Artist & Label Collaborations: Artists stake $RAVE to co-launch digital collectibles, remix rights, or Web3 collaborations under the RaveDAO brand. #### B2C Utilities: Experience & Engagement * Exclusive Access: Stake $RAVE to unlock VIP tiers, artist meet-and-greets, and early event access. * Digital Collectibles: Participate in limited artist drops, collaborations, and NFT releases. * Payments: Use $RAVE for tickets, tables, and on-site purchases at flagship events and chapters. * Community Rewards: Earn $RAVE by engaging in content creation, referrals, and participation. #### DAO Governance:The Community Decision Layer * Voting Rights: Decide on event locations, artist lineups, venue selections, and philanthropic allocations. * Chapter Proposals: Submit and vote on new “Road to RaveDAO” chapter activations. * Ecosystem Grants: Direct funding toward artists, community builders, and partner projects. #### Value Accrual & Deflationary Design RaveDAO’s ecosystem naturally strengthens $RAVE through continuous use and reinvestment. * IP Expansion Flywheel: Every festival, chapter, and collaboration reinforces token demand and cultural visibility. * Event Revenue Loop: Real-world utilities such as ticketing, NFTs, and sponsorships continually drive token circulation. * Buyback & Burn: A portion of event profits is used to repurchase and permanently remove $RAVE from supply. * Stake-to-Earn Utility: Organizers, artists, and vendors earn yield, discounts, or benefits by staking. The result is an economy that grows through real activity and cultural reach, not short-term speculation.
