$AMATO Whitepaper Released! The Full Picture of the “Character Economy” Revealed

“An era where characters become assets”

This phrase has finally become a reality.

$AMATO, which is attracting attention in the Smart Pocket ecosystem, has officially released its whitepaper. What the whitepaper reveals is not just a token, but a blueprint for a “new character economy” where fans and creators create value together.

In this article, we’ll explain the worldview and ecosystem of $AMATO as revealed in the published whitepaper.

What is $AMATO? — A New Form of “Participatory IP”

Traditional character IPs were created by companies, and fans had only two choices: “buy” or “support.”

$AMATO overturns that conventional wisdom.

Instead of simply “supporting” or “purchasing,” fans and creators can build value through creation, growth, participation, and sharing.

This is the fundamental philosophy of $AMATO.

The term “on-chain IP” appears repeatedly throughout the whitepaper. This means a system where character IP exists on the blockchain and the community can directly participate in its evolution.

In other words, we are not just spectators, but partners who create the world of AMATO together.

Integration with Smart Pocket — A Circular Ecosystem Centered on $SP

$AMATO is not a standalone project.

It is certified as an official partner IP (Verified IP) of the Smart Pocket ecosystem and is deeply integrated with the $SP token.

Three Key Values Enabled by Integration with $SP

Event Participation Rights Opportunities to participate in airdrop events related to $SP and access to mechanisms such as ecosystem-wide rankings

Cross-IP Collaboration Participation in joint projects with other partner IPs such as $HOLY and $PKM

Brand Credibility through “SP” Suffix The “SP” at the end of the contract address makes it immediately recognizable as an official partner IP

$AMATO is designed to grow together with other IPs as a member of the “character economic zone” with $SP as the base currency.

Four-Layer Structure — The Overall Picture of the AMATO Ecosystem

The whitepaper explains the AMATO ecosystem through four layers.

1. IP Layer

AMATO has a world of characters and stories, and the characters themselves have value as digital assets.

It also functions as an “entry point” to naturally communicate Web3 concepts and Smart Pocket’s vision through content such as manga.

2. Creative Layer

An environment is established where fans can participate as creators.

• Free download of official character assets
• Integration of fan art and derivative works into official projects
• Creative support using AI tools

The existence of AI tools is particularly significant. Even people who previously struggled with creation can now easily create content.

3. Utility & Engagement Layer

You can engage with the world of AMATO in various forms such as NFTs, digital items, and physical goods.

Particularly noteworthy is the existence of AI AMATO.

• Natural conversation with AMATO
• Responses based on character personality
• Brainstorming support for creation
• Story generation

Through AI, you can experience AMATO as if it were “alive.” This is a characteristic unique to next-generation IP.

4. Community & Governance Layer

Community contributions are rewarded with rewards, benefits, and special participation opportunities.

• Fan art contests
• Multiple airdrop events
• Participation in Smart Pocket ecosystem-wide rankings

In the future, there are plans to transition to a governance structure where the community can participate in decision-making regarding character development and collaborations.

Token Utility — What You Can Do with $AMATO

Summarizing the utilities described in the whitepaper:

• Utility Content: Character NFT purchase, growth, evolution, customization
• Community Rewards: Rewards for fan art, story proposals, SNS contributions
• NFT Holder Airdrops: Priority allocation to AMATO NFT holders
• $SP Integration: Participation in ecosystem-wide events and rankings
• Limited Goods: Access to limited digital items and physical goods
• Governance Participation: Future participation rights in decision-making

The design creates value not through mere “holding,” but through “participation.”

Tokenomics — 60% for Airdrop & Marketing

Token allocation has also been disclosed.

• AL Sale: 20%
• Liquidity: 20%
• Airdrop & Marketing: 60%

What’s noteworthy is that 60% is allocated to airdrop & marketing.

This is a design that prioritizes giving back to the community.

Furthermore, the AL Sale has a 24-month vesting period, creating a mechanism to suppress sudden price fluctuations and support long-term growth.

One notable line in the whitepaper states:

“It also reflects Smart Pocket’s belief that IP should grow with time, not disappear as trends change.”

This philosophy is reflected in the vesting design as well.

Roadmap — Evolution Through 4 Phases

Phase Content Phase 0: Genesis AMATO NFT release, awareness expansion through SNS and events (WebX, etc.) Phase 1: Launch Token launch, AL presale, Verified Token activation Phase 2: Expansion Community-driven content creation, AI AMATO prototype, airdrops, limited collaborations, physical goods, official asset release Phase 3: Long-Term Global expansion, ecosystem enhancement, cross-IP collaboration, DAO and governance introduction

Currently, we’re at the timing when Phase 1 presale has begun. The ecosystem is about to start moving in earnest.

Summary

What the $AMATO whitepaper demonstrated:

• A “participatory IP” where fans and creators become the protagonists of value creation
• Integration into a circular ecosystem centered on $SP
• “Living character” experience through AI AMATO
• Long-term design with 60% community distribution and 24-month vesting

From “buying characters” to “growing characters together.”

$AMATO stands at the entrance to this new era.

And we are at the forefront of it. When you think about it that way, doesn’t it make you excited?
