RAE ecosystem functions as a new, purpose-built layer on top of a public blockchain network. The separation of the digital platform and the digital network, along with the utilization of the RAE Token, allows all of the value provided by content creators and other participants in the ecosystem to be reflected in how those ecosystem participants are rewarded. The RAE Token’s value not only captures the independent use of the ecosystem, but also captures the value generated by digital network effects. That is, as network effects take hold, the increase in the value of work performed on the Ecosystem by network participants is appropriately and automatically reflected in the compensation distributed to network participants in the form of RAE Tokens.
