Engagement that is

Verified

SoQu turns marketing budgets into verified engagement. Agentic AI proves the post, zero-knowledge proves the metrics, and money lands in a bank account in seconds. To the creator using it, none of that is visible — it is simply an app that pays.

01Influencer marketing is the wild west

Brands waste billions. Creators wait months.

A $24B industry runs on screenshots and trust. Bot followers are endemic, there is no proof of authentic reach, and the money moves through as many intermediaries as it can find.

For brands

30–40% of budget never reaches a creator

Platform fees, agency margin and payment processing eat the spend.

Bot followers are endemic

No verification of authentic engagement at any scale that matters.

No proof of authentic reach

Manual review does not scale; screenshots are not evidence.

Escrow adds friction and cost

Payment processors and escrow services tax every campaign.

For creators

30–90 day payment terms are standard

Creators finance the brand's marketing campaign with their own cash flow.

Inconsistent deal flow

Micro-influencers at 10K–100K followers are structurally underserved.

No transparent pricing

No standardised compensation framework anywhere in the market.

Platform lock-in

Reputation is trapped inside whichever platform issued it.

02SoQu

Agentic ZK-powered verified social campaigns, on-chain.

Not a blockchain company — a marketplace that uses AI verification, cryptographic proofs and programmable money because nothing in the legacy stack can do the job. All of it runs out of sight: users sign in with an email and get paid to a bank account.

Verification

AI zero-knowledge verification

Agentic cryptographic proof of real engagement. A creator proves “I have >10K followers” without ever exposing the exact number or their audience composition.

Settlement

Instant payouts

Money in a bank account in seconds. Escrow releases the moment verification lands — no 30-day terms, no working capital requirement, and no crypto to figure out first.

Marketplace

Peer-to-peer matching

Direct creator-to-brand matching with no agency in the middle taking a cut of the work it did not do.

Economics

Pay for performance

Only verified posts get paid. Campaign funds sit in on-chain escrow until the proof clears.

Not a blockchain company — a marketplace that happens to need cryptography to work. Every component below exists because a legacy system could not do the job.

03How it works

One campaign, from escrow to settlement.

Five steps. No intermediary holds the money, no human reviews the post, and nobody waits thirty days to be paid.

Verified across

InstagramTikTokYouTubeX

01Guild Manager

Campaign creation & escrow

A brand specifies requirements — follower range, content type, platform, duration — and deposits campaign funds into the on-chain SoQu escrow. Funds can be withdrawn or the campaign cancelled at any time.

Set budget, duration and targeting criteria

Funds held in protocol escrow, not a company bank account

Run parallel campaigns at different requirement tiers

02Marketplace

Discovery & auto-matching

Creators browse campaigns matching their niche and follower count. An auto-matching algorithm connects creators to relevant campaigns based on audience fit. No subscription, no paywall — influencers come to you.

No subscription required to participate

Auto-match on audience fit, not on ad spend

Creators apply; brands never chase

03AI agent

Post & agentic verification

The creator posts to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or X. An AI agent verifies the post against campaign requirements — follower counts, content, engagement metrics, video length — through authenticated platform API access.

Replaces manual review entirely

Requirements checked against live platform data

Eliminates the fraud vector at the source

04Opacity Network

Zero-knowledge proof generation

A ZK proof is generated confirming the creator met every requirement — without revealing the underlying private data. The brand gets cryptographic certainty; the creator keeps their metrics private.

Verifies social metrics without exposing them

Settled through the Opacity Network verification layer

~$0.40 of real cryptographic work per platform, per user

05Smart contract

Settlement & reputation

The instant the proof validates, payment releases from escrow. The creator sees their balance go up and taps withdraw — to a bank account through the integrated offramp, or on-chain if they prefer. Reputation updates for both sides.

Instant release — no intermediary, no counterparty risk

Cash out to a bank, or hold crypto if you want to

Portable, immutable reputation for creator and brand

04Product experience

The user never knows any of this happened.

Everything cryptographic in this deck is invisible from inside the app. There is no wallet to install, no seed phrase to write down, no gas to buy and no chain to choose. You sign in with an email and money lands in your bank account.

Words that never appear in the app

The entire crypto vocabulary, absent.

Not hidden behind an advanced menu. Absent. A creator can use SoQu for a year without learning a single one of these.

seed phrase

private key

bridge

testnet

slippage

chain ID

wallet connect

nonce

RPC endpoint

approve transaction

block confirmation

No wallet to install

Embedded wallets are provisioned silently at sign-up. Nothing to download, nothing to back up, nothing to lose.

No crypto to acquire

Creators never buy a token to get paid in one. Balances arrive already funded from campaign escrow.

No gas, ever

Transaction costs are absorbed at the protocol layer. A creator claiming $1 receives $1.

Cash out to a bank

The integrated fiat offramp means the last step of the journey looks like every other payout app.

The chain is the settlement layer, not the product.

This distinction is the whole strategy. Investors get an on-chain guarantee — an immutable revenue share no one can alter. Users get an app that behaves like every other app they already use. Neither side has to compromise for the other, and the addressable market stops being “people comfortable with crypto” and starts being “people with a following”.

05Defensibility

This is not a weekend build.

The moat is not the idea. The moat is that verified engagement requires a zero-knowledge proving system, a live EVM protocol carrying real escrow, and an agentic verification layer — three disciplines that cannot be prompted into existence.

Cost of one zero-knowledge verification

$0.00

per platform, per user

Every test run, every regression, every integration attempt burns real money. There is no free local mock of a proving system.

The cost of being wrong, repeatedly

Every iteration is metered.

Verification cost scales linearly with attempts. Development is attempts. There is no way to get the circuit right without paying for every version that was wrong.

100 verifications$0.00

A single afternoon of debugging

1,000 verifications$0

One integration test suite

10,000 verifications$0

A serious pre-launch QA cycle

and that is only the proving cost — before contract deployment, audit, platform API access, or a single line of application code.

why-you-cannot-vibe-code-this.sh

Why it resists replication

You cannot prompt your way to a proving system.

A landing page can be generated in an afternoon. A zero-knowledge circuit cannot. There is no local mock, no free tier, and no way to iterate without paying per attempt in real cryptographic work.

Layer on live escrow contracts holding other people's money, an agentic verification layer authenticated against four social platforms, and a fiat offramp carrying money-transmission obligations — and the cost of a serious attempt is measured in quarters, not sprints.

The moat is not the idea. The moat is the bill.

$0.40

per verification

ZK verification is expensive to even attempt

Zero-knowledge circuits cannot be stubbed out. Each verification costs roughly $0.40 per platform per user in real cryptographic work. Developing against them means paying, per iteration, for the privilege of being wrong.

Hybrid

contract topology

Closed and open source, deliberately split

The SoQu protocol is a combination of closed and open-source smart contracts. The open surface invites an ecosystem to build. The closed surface is where the verification economics live.

Live

Base Mainnet

V1 is deployed, not diagrammed

The custom EVM protocol is live on Base Mainnet with the full stack integrated and tested. Deployed contracts carrying real escrow are a different artefact from a repository.

01

of its category

First mover in a protocol category

Comparable to how Uniswap pioneered AMMs in DeFi — being first on a decentralised EarnFi protocol compounds through network effects, on-chain reputation and developers building on the infrastructure.

06Architecture

Built on proven infrastructure, not promises.

Four layers, each carrying a specific obligation. The protocol is deployed on Base for low cost and established security — and the architecture is chain-agnostic.

Opacity Network

Agentic ZK verification layer

Zero-knowledge proofs verify social metrics without exposing private data. This is the verification blockchain layer the protocol settles proofs against.

Due Global

Crypto ↔ fiat payment rails

Global payments for developers. Creators cash out from USDC to a bank account, with the compliance surface handled at the rail layer.

Embedded Wallets

Invisible onboarding

No seed phrases, no extensions, no bridge tutorials. Users sign in the way they sign in to everything else, and a wallet quietly exists behind it that they never have to think about.

SoQu Protocol V1

Custom EVM contracts on Base

Escrow, verification hooks, fee logic and revenue share, deployed on Base for low transaction costs and established security. Chain-agnostic by design.

Key innovation

Zero-knowledge proofs verify social metrics without ever exposing private data.

Why a public blockchain at all

01

Neutral settlement layer

Neither the brand nor the creator controls the escrow, which eliminates counterparty risk from both directions.

02

Immutable audit trail

Every campaign, proof and payout is permanently recorded for regulatory compliance and dispute resolution.

Deployed on Base (Ethereum L2) for low cost and established security — but the architecture is chain-agnostic, allowing multi-chain expansion.

07Market opportunity

A large, fragmented market with no verification primitive.

The market is highly fragmented with massive information asymmetry between brands and creators. No participant currently holds a verification primitive.

Health, beauty and consumer tech verticals seeking authentic engagement.

03

Web3 projects

Crypto-native teams that need community activation now and understand the rails.

The wedge

Crypto-nativeMainstream DTC

Start with crypto-native brands and creators — lower friction, existing demand, an audience that already understands the value proposition — then expand to mainstream DTC on the back of proven case studies.

Because the product hides its own infrastructure, the mainstream expansion needs no education campaign. The addressable market is everyone with a following, not everyone comfortable with a wallet.

08Business model

Infrastructure pricing against agency margins.

A 10% total take rate versus 30–40% for incumbents — a durable pricing advantage with minimal operational overhead behind it.

Healthy margins survive the discount because the operational overhead of a protocol is a fraction of an agency's.

The EarnFi model

No subscription fees. No credit card paywall. Users do not pay to access the platform — they earn from day one. This removes onboarding friction entirely and is why creator CAC stays in single digits.

Retention mechanic

RPG progression system

Raiders and Guild Managers level up through platform activity across nine ranks. Higher ranks unlock lower fees, and upper tiers require progressively larger $SOQU holdings — a retention mechanism and a token sink in the same mechanic.

Buyback pressure

Campaign cancellation fees route directly into $SOQU buybacks.

Tier gating

The highest discount tiers require larger holdings, creating structural demand.

Governance

Community governance over protocol upgrades following the token launch.

09Unit economics

Low acquisition cost, immediate monetisation.

Creators monetise on day one, which is why acquisition stays in single digits. Brands cost more to win and are worth an order of magnitude more.

Customer acquisition cost

What it costs to win each side

Creator acquisition$5–15

Targeted social ads, crypto community partnerships and referral incentives. Low CAC justified by immediate monetisation — creators earn on day one.

Brand acquisition$500–2,000

B2B sales, initially targeting crypto-native projects for lower friction, then expanding to DTC. A single brand generates multiple campaigns.

Lifetime value

What each side is worth

Creator LTV$200–500

4–10 campaigns per year at $50–100 per campaign, at 5–10% protocol fees.

10:1

Brand LTV$5,000–25,000

$100K–500K annual campaign spend at a 5% protocol fee.

5:1

Target LTV/CAC: 10:1 for creators and 5:1 for brands within the first year.

$0.40

per platform, per user

The one meaningful technical cost

ZK proof generation runs approximately $0.40 per platform, per user. This one-time cost is offset by eliminating ongoing fraud detection and manual review expense entirely — the thing every incumbent still pays for, every month, forever.

Network effects

The growth flywheel

Five loops that each make the next turn cheaper.

01

Creator liquidity → brand attraction

More creators means better matching, higher campaign success rates and broader reach.

02

Brand campaigns → creator monetisation

More brands means more earning opportunities, driving creator engagement and retention.

03

On-chain reputation → switching costs

Immutable reputation scores compound. High-reputation creators unlock premium campaigns.

04

Frictionless onboarding → lower CAC

The EarnFi model removes every paywall, dramatically reducing acquisition cost.

05

RPG progression → retention

Rank-based fee reduction makes leaving expensive and staying compounding.

Q3

Multi-Platform & Multi-Chain

Launch the web application alongside mobile. Multi-chain deployment for lower transaction costs and broader accessibility.

Q4

Open Protocol

Open-source portions of the protocol and initiate ecosystem grants for developers building on the infrastructure.

11Competitive position

Why we win.

Six advantages, none of which an incumbent can adopt without dismantling the business model that currently funds them.

01

Only AI + ZK verified platform

Agentic ZK proofs eliminate fraud at the protocol level rather than policing it after the fact.

02

Instant settlement

No 30-day payment terms. No working capital requirement for creators.

03

A Web2 product

Sign in with an email, get paid to a bank. No wallet, no seed phrase, no gas — nothing a creator has to learn before earning.

04

True peer-to-peer

Direct to influencers and users. No agency, no middleman, no margin skim.

05

On-chain reputation

Portable trust that travels with the creator across every campaign and platform.

06

First movers, live

A unique on-chain protocol already deployed on Base Mainnet, not a whitepaper.

Diligence

Risks, and what we have done about them

Stated plainly, because you would find them anyway.

Platform API dependencies

Multi-platform support removes the single point of failure, manual verification fallback exists, and we are building relationships with platform partnership teams.

Regulatory uncertainty

Stablecoin payments reduce volatility exposure, the fiat offramp integration handles money transmission compliance, and the protocol is designed to be regulation-agnostic.

Cold start problem

The genesis campaign bootstraps creator supply, the crypto-native initial market has existing demand, and RPG mechanics plus token incentives drive early adoption.

Incumbent response

First-mover advantage compounds as users build on-chain reputation and developers build on the infrastructure. Incumbents also carry a business model conflict — high fees fund their operations.

Protocol development risk

V1 is already deployed and tested on mainnet, the architecture is modular for iterative improvement, and the open protocol approach creates ecosystem lock-in over time.
