VIOLET token, a native utility token is used to power all its core capabilities. It also acts as the currency within the Viola.AI ecosystem. In this article, we will take a look at it and also understand how it works.

VIOLET Token — An overview and how it works

VIOLET token powers the ecosystem as well as the Viola.AI business model. The token will be used for multiple purposes. Let’s list them below.

  1. Payment method
  2. Community usage
  3. Revenue Share
  4. Advertising Fee
  5. Rewards

Payment Method

VIOLET token can be used as a payment to merchants. This means that the user can purchase paid content, services and goods from the sellers such as merchants and experts in the ecosystem using the token. As it uses blockchain, almost every aspect of the deal is decided before it takes place. For example, the seller and the buyer have to decide on whether the payment will be done in full, escrow deposit, escrow milestone or full escrow transaction.

Ethereum powers the escrow deposit powered Smart Contact which means that it is 100% secure. The value is stored against the value of the good, content or services using the two most popular cryptocurrencies out there, i.e., Bitcoin and Ethereum to stabilize the price during the escrow holding period.

Community Usage

Without community involvement, it is hard for any platform to grow or sustain. Viola.AI understands the community importance and has completely integrated the use of VIOLET token for community usage. This means the user can reward VIOLET token to partners or merchants for the services they provide. For example, if someone solves a user’s relationship problem by giving simple advice on what to do and what not to do, the user can decide to distribute tokens to them. The Viola.AI bot will also actively help you by providing concrete steps based on its huge DB analytics.

The use of VIOLET token to award for participation behavior can easily lure hundreds of partners, experts, and merchants. The token can also be used to tip great ideas and content.

Revenue Share

A revenue share for each transaction will take place on the platform to ensure that the Viola.AI ecosystem sustains. For example, when a partner or merchant makes a transaction, an amount equal to 1–10% will be shared for e-content and e-goods purchases. In comparison, only 1–5% will be shared for services and good purchases.

The collected revenue is then split further within the VIOLA.AI ecosystem. The foundation will keep the 40% for maintenance and development. The rest remaining 60% will be split into the reward pool(10%) and commission(10%).

Advertising

The Viola.AI’s advertisement program uses VIOLET token for payment purposes. To ensure transparency, the advertisement will be clearly labelled for users. Also, to improve advertisement partnership, a 5% of the advertisement commission will be given to the referrer for bringing merchants on the advertisement platform.

Rewards

Last and not the least, VIOLET token will also be used for rewarding purposes. Rewards will be given when the user performs a favorable action.

  • New Verified User → Tokens will be given out to new users.
  • Gamification → To ensure proper participation, the platform will be gamified.
  • Bug Bounty → Anyone who helps improve the Viola.AI platform will get bounty using VIOLET payment system.
  • Referral → Referrals will be rewarded with VIOLET tokens.

VIOLET token can be used both as a utility and currency within the ecosystem. VIOLET token will be native to the platform and will ensure that every user can participate in the platform, be it a content creator or an advertiser. Overall, a great project with an amazing vision. Viola.AI already have an established user base, and hence the early adopters can make the most benefit out of the platform.
