# Tomo Keys

### Tomo Builds a Transparent Market for Social Capital:

* Keys allow you to fairly price and monetize your attention and network.

* Keys are a solution against spam and ingenuine requests.

* Keys remove a need for middlemen to facilitate new connections.

* Keys enable users to engage in transparent and financially rewarding interactions.

### What are Keys?

Keys provide exclusive access to creators' content, direct messages, and group chat with key holders.

Users can buy (sell) keys to gain (give up) exclusive access.

#### Royalty Fees

* Every buy/sell transaction includes a 10% royalty fee.
* Of this, a 5% fee goes to the platform.
* The remaining 5% goes directly to the creator’s balance.

### What are Votes?

Even if a creator hasn't yet joined Tomo, users can purchase the creator's votes. These Votes are then converted into keys when the creator registers on the platform.

#### Royalty Fees

* Every buy/sell transaction includes a 10% royalty fee.
* Of this, a 5% fee goes to the platform.
* The remaining 5% is reserved for the creator, who can claim it upon joining.&#x20;
* If the creator did not join within 6 months after the first purchase, the platform's 5% fees are redistributed to the voters. The 5% reserved for the creator remains set aside indefinitely until they join and claim it.
