1. Does it make more sense to be a token creator or a holder?
There’s no right answer; it really depends. Are you someone with the ability to drive users, attention, and capital? Are you destined to lead and command? Launch your own token.
Are you inclined towards the values of progress, growth, and using cryptocapital to rebuild our cities, but you prefer to engage passively without putting yourself and your reputation on the line? Be a holder.
2. What benefits do I get as a creator?
You receive 10% of the fees from the Community Vault. Additionally, you get a reputational boost as your Twitter account and profile are listed as the “Skyline Steward” for that city.
3. How much could I potentially earn in fees?
Total Fees | Vault (70%) | Creator (10% of Vault) |
---|
$100K | $70K | $7K |
$1M | $700K | $70K |
$10M | $7M | $700K |
$100M | $70M | $7M |
4. Which city token should I buy and why?
It’s up to you. We recommend interacting with tokens of cities you feel a strong inclination towards. Whether you currently live there, plan to live there, or expect to visit soon, city tokens can—with sufficient growth and volumes—confer consumptive benefits to their holders, including, but not limited to, event tickets, coworking‑space day passes, and merchandise. Think Aman Club, Soho House, etc. for believers in the ideals of technocapitalism and crypto.
5. What makes Skyline different from other launchpads?
- Each token corresponds to a city (NYC, London, Dubai, etc.)
- Trading fees can be directed towards funding physical real estate and infrastructure projects in that city.
- You have to authenticate with Twitter to launch a token and become a Skyline Steward.
6. What utility does a city token have exactly?
Each time you swap a City Token, a smart contract charges a fee—two percent on Skyline’s platform and one percent on public pools like Uniswap. Seventy percent of that fee flows automatically into an on‑chain Community Vault, while the remaining thirty percent goes to Skyline’s Revenue Wallet as operating income. Ten percent of the Community Vault is shared with the token creator. The vault can fund real‑world public‑goods projects and community spaces. Optional “Perks” such as event tickets, coworking passes, or merchandise may be offered when budget, logistics, and local laws allow.
It’s important to note that City Tokens are meant solely for cultural identity and entertainment. Owning one does not give you equity, dividends, revenue share, governance rights over Skyline, or any claim on assets; social recognition is the only built‑in benefit, and any future integrations can be added or removed at Skyline’s discretion. All fee calculations and usage limits set by Skyline are final and binding, and the company may adjust those limits at its sole discretion.
7. How do I earn fees as a creator, and how are they paid out?
You don’t have to do anything. Fees will be sent directly to your Skyline wallet. Fees are paid out monthly.
8. What’s the fee structure?
- Skyline swaps: 2%
- Public‑pool swaps (e.g., Uniswap): 1%
- Split: 70% to the Community Vault, 30% to the Revenue Wallet; creators receive 10% of Vault inflows.
9. Are tokens launched on a bonding curve? How does that work exactly?
Yes. Tokens launch on bonding curves with a fixed total supply of 1 billion. When the token hits a $100 k FDV—exactly when 667 million tokens have been purchased—the remaining 333 million tokens, along with all ETH raised from the bonding curve, are graduated to a Uniswap v4 pool. From that point on, the token trades freely on Uniswap v4.
10. Are there any differences in how cities are valued? E.g., does a bigger city mean a higher price?
No. All city token prices and market capitalizations are calculated using the same bonding‑curve formula. When a token crosses $100k in market cap, it’s sent to a Uniswap liquidity pool. Having said that, it’s likely, but not guaranteed, that cities with larger populations, cultural attention, and crypto penetration will receive more attention, users, and volumes. It’s also possible that tokens created by Skyline Stewards with large Twitter followings will receive more attention than others.
11. Can a city have multiple tokens?
Yes, each city can have multiple tokens. City‑coin creation is permissionless. You can distinguish between tokens by their ticker, description, and or creator (Skyline Steward).
12. Where can I get notified about new city token launches?
Follow us on Twitter
@Skylinedotworld, or go to the Explore page of the Skyline application at
skyline.world/app.
13. What's preventing me from spamming thousands of coins?
Nothing—you’re free to try. Just remember that your Twitter account will be displayed as the Skyline Steward for each coin you create. We think it’s a better strategy to earn more and contribute more by focusing on a single coin, or on a few. The Pareto law dictates that ultimately, more volumes and fees will accrue to a single token with a large market capitalization than many tokens with small market capitalization.
14. Why do I need to verify with Twitter to launch a coin?
Since the fees from Skyline’s tokens can be used to interact with the physical world’s infrastructure, Skyline Stewards must demonstrate trust and integrity. One way to ensure this is by listing the Twitter account and profile of the coin’s creator. Furthermore, this is another avenue for city‑coin creators to distinguish themselves.
15. As a creator of a token, can I control the utility of the token, or is it purely a memecoin?
While we can’t provide legal advice, here’s what we’ve seen: coins tend to stay on the safe side when they’re launched transparently, without misleading claims, and without being framed as investment opportunities. Do not promise returns, ownership, or financial rights. If you’re still unsure, consider retaining legal counsel.
