Stake $VNON, join the Council, and help direct the Curation Treasury — a community pool for marketing pushes, major artist features, and whatever else moves the project forward.
VNON works because curators show up. Backers prove a track deserves to launch. Artists earn from people who actually listen. The pieces fit together because the right people get a say at the right moments.
The Curation Council is the next layer of that. When you stake $VNON, you join — and you get a vote in what the label does next.
Here's what the Council decides:
— Which tracks land on the home page Top Offering slot — Which bonded tracks make the seasonal compilation that hits Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube — How the Curation Treasury spends — a community pool funded by a small slice of every bond raise
The Curation Treasury is the part that gets fun. Imagine voting on a paid marketing campaign behind a track you backed early. A partial buy-in to bring a name artist onto VNON for a one-time spotlight. Season launch events. Paying skilled curators to deep-dive a scene most people haven't heard yet. Whatever moves the project forward and rewards the people building it with us.
Council activity feeds straight into the bonding economy. When the collective funds a marketing push during a track's pre-bond window, that bond fills faster — visibly, on the SABT progress bar. The Council isn't a parallel system bolted on. It's a force multiplier built into how the label grows.
Voting runs on Snapshot — gasless, instant, signed with the same wallet you use to back tracks. The /govern page fetches proposals so you never leave VNON to participate. Cast your vote, watch live tallies, see what the collective decides next.
This is what $VNON gets you beyond bidding on Front Row seats. A real voice. A real budget. A seat at the table.
We're calibrating the final details — vote weights, the exact Curation Treasury percentage, tier multipliers for higher-ranking curators — alongside counsel review. Until $VNON launches, every vote here is a dry run with simulated weight. When the gate opens, the rails are ready.
