User tiers & creator limits
Understand the relationship between token holdings, monetization capacity, and account progression.
Mesi uses a dual-progression architecture to ensure platform security and creator accountability. By linking monetization capacity to token holdings, we create an environment where creators have "skin in the game."
The Dual Progression Systems
Determines your maximum sales volume, number of active listings, and pricing ceilings. Progress is driven by **Locking $MESI tokens**. Unlocks platform-wide benefits and social perks for both fans and creators. Progress is driven by your total **Influence Points** (a combination of holding and locking tokens).
For a detailed breakdown of specific values, see the Incentives & Tier Limits section.
Holding Score
The Holding Score is a dynamic metric representing the average $MESI balance in your wallet over a rolling 7-day window.
Unlike other platforms that rely on occasional "snapshots," Mesi’s native chain monitors balances in real-time. Every transaction is factored into the moving average, providing an accurate representation of your platform investment.
Calculation Example:
Days 1-5: 25,000 $MESI
Day 6: 10,000 $MESI
Day 7: 50,000 $MESI
Holding Score: 26,429
The Lockup Mechanism
To "lock" tokens on Mesi, you simply set a Withdrawal Limit in your profile settings. This is a non-custodial process; tokens never leave your wallet.
Adjusting Limits
Increasing Limits: You can raise your withdrawal limit at any time to unlock higher tiers, maximize rewards, or boost your Engagement Score.
Decreasing Limits: To regain access to locked tokens, you must first downgrade your account features (active sales, NFT listings) to match the requirements of the lower tier.
**Locked Thresholds:** While tokens remain in your wallet, they cannot be spent or transferred if the transaction would cause your balance to fall below your set withdrawal limit.
Why Lock Tokens?
The lockup system serves as a multi-purpose security layer:
Authenticity: Requires creators to maintain a financial stake, deterring bot accounts.
Collateral: Acts as a bond against policy violations, ensuring funds are available for fan compensation if rules are broken.
Responsibility: Scales monetization power with financial commitment, encouraging sustainable growth.
Non-Custodial Security
Mesi is a non-custodial platform. You do not need to transfer your $MESI to a third-party vault or smart contract to increase your tier.
Control: You maintain 100% ownership and private key control over your tokens.
Transparency: Your status is verified directly on the Creator Chain without the need for middle-man staking protocols.
AI Persona Enhancements
Locking tokens provides direct technical upgrades to AI Personas. As you reach higher tiers, your AI becomes more sophisticated:
Advanced Logic: Deeper conversation trees and memory.
Emotional Intelligence: Wider range of expressive responses.
Visual Fidelity: Enhanced avatar rendering and animation quality.
**The AI Advantage:** High-tier lockups transform a basic AI bot into a high-fidelity "Digital Twin" capable of advanced 1-on-1 fan interactions.
