Moons is a decentralized SocialFi platform built on the TON blockchain. It lets users create profiles, share content, and earn $MOONS tokens for engagement, while revenue from ads, subscriptions, and events is shared back with the community.
Overview and key features#
- Tokenized social currency – Posting, commenting, and curating content generate $MOONS rewards based on up‑votes.
- Decentralized social graph – User data and connections are stored on TON, giving users control over their information.
- Token‑curated moderation – Token holders vote on moderation decisions, reducing centralized censorship.
- Monetization options – $MOONS can be spent on premium features or used within TON dApps.

Revenue‑sharing model#
Moons distributes income from several sources back to active participants:
- Content monetization – Likes, comments, and re‑shares are tokenized; creators receive $MOONS proportional to content popularity.
- Advertising revenue – Regional ads appear in users’ feeds, and a percentage of ad revenue is returned to users based on interaction.
- Premium subscriptions – Paid membership tiers generate revenue that is shared with creators who attract subscribers.
- Funded events – Sponsorship fees for community events are allocated among participants.
- Creator fund – Grants and seed investments support emerging content creators.

The capped supply of $MOONS is 2.1 billion tokens.
