Social
The intended model: a creator’s audience is an economic sub-graph, and value that flows through it is attributed to both the creator and the community that produced it — the same principle as referral attribution, applied to an audience rather than a single edge.
What exists today
The protocol records one kind of relationship, and it is not this one
Edges on chainParticipant.referrer — who referred whom
Creator accountsNone — no instruction creates one
Content attributionNone — no account records it
Audience sizeNot observed by the protocol
What would have to be true
In the order the dependencies actually run
- An instruction that attributes value to a creator. Until something writes it on chain, there is nothing for an indexer to project or a page to read.
- A signal the engine can consume. Economic influence is an output of the network-wide emission index, which takes nine measured signals — none of them social.
- A price, for any dollar figure. The protocol deliberately carries none, so creator revenue would be in YUID, as every other amount in this app is.
