While Uptober has been underwhelming on price, some teams are still shipping real products. $MIAU is the utility token for MIAU Social (@miau_social), a live creator platform at miausocial.com. It’s built differently from typical fan platforms. There’s an open discovery feed and semantic search — no account or login wall required to browse and find creators. Creators keep 88% (platform takes 12%, which can drop further via their referral program). Every creator must pass government ID + face match before they can publish or earn. No AI profiles. Because major AI providers block the kind of content creators actually post, MIAU built and runs its own content-understanding layer. Every upload goes through an 11-layer pipeline (illegal material checks, scene-by-scene analysis, visual + meaning fingerprints, transcription, verified auto-tagging, content rating, face-age screening, etc.) before it can appear anywhere. That same layer powers the search and keeps the open feed clean — only content rated clean reaches the public feed; everything else stays behind the creator’s paywall with age verification at the moment of purchase. Payments work with Visa/Mastercard and crypto at the same checkout. Everything is priced in dollars, and creators are paid in stable value so their earnings aren’t exposed to token volatility. $MIAU itself is not the currency inside the app (a planned “Pay with MIAU” feature would let fans get a discount funded from the platform’s own commission, with those tokens going into a treasury that doesn’t sell them back). Mint authority is renounced, and a percentage of platform revenue funds a rule-based buyback that permanently reduces circulating supply. Full mechanics are in the litepaper and docs. Worth looking at if you’re interested in the creator economy meeting actual crypto infrastructure. Docs on how the AI and discovery work: docs.miausocial.com/how-it-w…

This is the exact failure mode of building your main product and incentives on someone else’s API. Cookie’s Snaps was post-to-earn on X. When X revoked API access for InfoFi apps to cut spam/AI slop (Jan 2026), the rewards layer died overnight. People who had locked $COOKIE for 90–365 days to get multipliers, points, and airdrop farming eligibility were stuck with the lockups. No early unlock. Token cratered while capital was locked. Classic “the utility disappeared but the lock didn’t.” MIAU takes the opposite approach: miausocial.com is its own creator platform, not a layer on top of X. Open swipeable discovery feed + semantic search that works with no account. The search understands the actual content (scene-by-scene visual + meaning fingerprints, transcription, auto-tagging that is verified against the content). It doesn’t rely on external social APIs for discovery. Every creator is identity-verified (government ID + face match). No AI profiles. Every upload goes through an 11-layer AI screening/rating pipeline before it can appear anywhere. Only clean-rated content reaches the open feed; everything else stays behind the creator’s paywall. Creators keep 88% (platform takes 12%, drops further with their referral program). Everything is priced in dollars. Fans can pay with Visa/Mastercard (approved and live) or crypto at the same checkout. Creators are paid in stable value to their email or wallet. Their earnings never move with any token price. $MIAU itself is a utility token on Solana. It’s not the money of the platform and is not offered as an investment. Planned use is “Pay with MIAU” (not live yet): fans can optionally pay with the token for a discount that comes out of MIAU’s own commission, not the creator’s cut. The creator still gets paid in stable money from a pot funded by platform revenue, and the tokens paid by the fan go to the treasury and stay there. Mint authority is revoked. The platform is designed so that even if $MIAU went to zero, creators would still get paid in full and the product would keep running. Docs on how it works: docs.miausocial.com/how-it-w… Litepaper covers the token mechanics. Different model: own discovery + real content understanding + stable creator payouts, instead of locking capital for rewards that depend on a third-party API staying open.
