Token Economics & Community Governance

Cathedral Governance Token (CGT)

Each brand deploys its own branded token powered by Cathedral infrastructure.

Token Distribution Model:

  • Earn tokens through engagement (purchases, social actions, events, referrals)

  • Example rates: 1 token per €100 spent; event attendance 100–500 tokens; referrals 200–1,000 tokens

Token Utility:

  • Voting power (1 token = 1 vote or alternative weightings)

  • Exclusive access (token-gated products/events)

  • Rewards marketplace redemption

  • Status & recognition

  • Delegation of voting power

Governance Mechanisms by vertical include simple majority, quadratic voting, conviction voting, tiered voting, stake-based mechanisms.

MiCA Compliance for Brand Tokens:

  • Utility classification, consumer protection, transparency, restricted transferability where applicable.
