Vodra Token ($VDR) Update: Utility, XP, Ranks & the Next Phase of the Network

Over the past year, we have focused on building Vodra into something most crypto projects never become: a real business.
$VDR is not just a token attached to an idea or a protocol that exists entirely on-chain. It is tied to a live advertising platform where real brands pay for real distribution across livestreams. That distinction matters. Most tokens derive value from trading activity, emissions, or internal protocol loops. Vodra generates value from the real economy where brands allocate budgets, creators deliver impressions, and campaigns convert into sales and signups. There is a real, working system behind the token, and that changes how everything needs to be structured.
As we expand Vodra into a full advertising network with deeper automation, DSP integrations, and access to broader marketplaces, the token needs to reflect what the platform actually is. We are moving beyond a simple buyback model and tying $VDR directly into platform flow. A portion of brand budgets and creator withdrawals will be denominated in $VDR, meaning there will not be a meaningful transaction on the platform that does not involve the token. As more ad spend flows through Vodra, more volume flows through $VDR, aligning token demand with real platform usage.
Utility & Tokenomics Updates

Tying $VDR to The Platform
We are tying $VDR more directly to the Vodra platform and introducing a clear deflationary mechanism for the token. Revenue generated through ad spend and on-platform transactions will be partially allocated to $VDR buybacks. These buybacks accrue to those staking $VDR, with a larger share going to users who stake greater amounts and commit for longer periods. We are also implementing a burn component, where a portion of $VDR acquired through buybacks is permanently removed from supply. This burn will be smaller relative to the rewards distributed to stakers, ensuring that staking remains the dominant incentive and that long-term participants are favored over fully liquid holders.

Another key component is the introduction of a $VDR routing layer across platform activity. For most transactions on the platform, a portion of fees will be used to purchase $VDR. For example, if a creator swaps USDC from Solana to Ethereum, a portion of that fee is used to buy $VDR. Even if that $VDR is immediately sold, it still creates consistent on-chain volume tied to real platform usage. This allows us to better align the economic activity already happening within Vodra with measurable on-chain demand for the token.

$VDR Delegation
Our most significant token utility update is the introduction of $VDR delegation. This allows stakers to lend out their staked $VDR to creators in exchange for additional yield, turning passive holders into active participants in the network. Holders can now choose which creators to back, effectively allocating their capital toward the content and communities they believe in. This creates a new dynamic where supporting the right streamers is not just social, but economic. Stakers can earn additional income on their $VDR while directly contributing to the growth of the creators they want to see succeed.

Holders back creators, creators earn more, and both share in the upside.
On the other side, creators can rent staked $VDR to temporarily boost their CPMs, unlocking higher earning rates on the platform. This backing acts as a form of growth capital, allowing creators to reinvest into their channels, improve production, and scale their audience. It is a model that feels closer to partnership than anything else, where holders and creators are aligned around performance and growth. At scale, this creates a network where capital and attention are directed toward the highest quality content, enabling a level of creator backing and participation that has not existed before.

$VDR is now an engine for bringing new and promising streamers to market and rewarding the people who backed them early. Discovery is no longer dictated purely by algorithms. Instead, it is driven by participants who have real capital at stake and are incentivized to identify quality before it is obvious. Advertisers benefit from this as well, since human judgment consistently outperforms automated systems when it comes to identifying engaging content. As a result, ad spend naturally flows toward creators who are putting in the work and building real audiences.

Platform Updates

The Vodra Hub
We created The Vodra Hub to act as the control center for all things $VDR. It is a single interface where participants can stake, trade, track, and manage their position across the entire ecosystem. When someone logs in, they should immediately understand their balance, their rank, their XP, and their role within the network.

Over time, the Hub will surface deeper transparency across the system. Circulating supply, staking ratios, distribution, and treasury positioning will all be visible in a way that is actually understandable. As more stable advertising flow comes online, the relationship between platform revenue and token activity becomes clearer, and the Hub will reflect that in real time through yield, performance, and token flow.
Streamer Progression and the Global XP System

To support $VDR’s new utilities, we are adding a consolidated XP and progression system that will apply to all user types on the platform. Whether you are using Vodra to stream, stake, trade, or start an agency, you’ll be able to earn XP and get ranked within the general Vodra ecosystem. Holder XP will come from staking and delegating $VDR successfully over time, while streamer XP will come from streaming consistently, growing an audience, using delegation features effectively, and earning achievements on the platform. As Vodra continues to grow,we will use this system to direct more opportunities and resources toward the most aligned participants.
Achievements

We are also introducing achievements that bring a more gamified layer to the platform, inspired by the culture of Twitch, Kick, and gaming more broadly. Users will be able to unlock achievements through actions like streaming, holding, staking, referrals, and overall engagement, with each one contributing to XP, ratings, and progression within the network. This adds a layer of fun and visible milestones while still reinforcing the behaviors that help the platform grow.
Over time, we plan to expand this beyond just on-platform activity by working with networks like Solana and Somnia, as well as game studios, to tie in-game achievements directly to streaming. The goal is to create a system where what happens in-game, on-stream, and on-chain all feeds into the same progression loop, making participation feel more like a game while still driving real outcomes for creators and holders.
Listings & Trading

A core focus for us going forward is simple. Improve the volume, accessibility, and long term strength of $VDR. The more places $VDR trades, the more discoverable and usable it becomes. That means expanding across both centralized and decentralized exchanges in a thoughtful way. Additional venues increase access for new participants, reduce friction for existing holders, and create healthier price discovery as activity scales.
We are already working on expanded listings for $VDR which will be announced shortly contingent on specific price and volume targets.
Trading on The Platform

We have added trading features directly on the Vodra Platform so that users can easily buy $VDR at the best rates available. As volume improves, we plan to introduce structured trading incentives that tie directly into the XP and Rank system inside the Vodra Hub.
We have also refined our buyback methodology to operate across all trading venues in proportion to liquidity conditions. Instead of concentrating activity on a single market, buybacks will be distributed in a way that supports balanced depth and consistent pricing across exchanges. This helps reduce distortions between venues and contributes to healthier long term market structure.
Metadata Update
We are updating the token’s metadata to ensure circulating supply, locked liquidity, and the various team vaults are properly accounted for. We are working with popular screeners such as CoinMarketCap, DexScreener, CoinGecko, Phantom, Jupiter, and so on to make sure our metadata is consistent and up to date across all these various info sources.

That’s just scratching the surface of this very wide update. We will be creating specific standalone announcements for the size and scope of holder rewards/benefits of the XP system.

All Together
These changes are designed to better connect what is already happening on the platform with how $VDR functions. The goal is simple: make participation more direct, align incentives more clearly, and give both creators and holders a more active role in how the network grows. As we continue to build, the focus remains on improving the product, expanding the network, and ensuring that real usage is reflected both on-platform and on-chain.
As more advertising spend flows through Vodra, these systems become more meaningful. The objective is not to manufacture on-chain activity, but to reflect real economic activity taking place across the platform.
