1. Executive Summary
2. Objectives and Success Measures
The purpose of this engagement is not 'a token for the sake of a token'. The purpose is to create a brand extension that supports the film, increases measurable participation, and does not create reputational or legal exposure. This is a business-driven initiative aimed at deepening the relationship between the fans and the intellectual property of 'Coyote vs. Acme'.
Primary Objectives
| Objective Title | Strategic Definition & Intent | Operational Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Project's Official Token | Create canonical asset on Solana with supply controls and audited issuance logic. | Foundation layer: establishment of immutable supply rules and treasury controls to prevent dilution or misuse. |
| Consumer-Facing Utility | Develop reasons to hold/use tokens tied specifically to film-aligned experiences. | Prevents perception as financial instrument; ensures smooth flows for non-crypto audiences with measurable redemptions. |
| Studio-Grade Approvals | Design ecosystem to be compatible with IP, messaging, and merchandising constraints. | Permissioned content pathways ensure no public feature ships without Ketchup/rights-holder sign-off. |
| Fintech Launch Standards | Deploy with security, uptime, and incident response standards of professional financial systems. | Mitigates headline risk from hacks or failures during peak marketing and attention windows. |
| Compliance Hygiene | Implement geofencing, optional KYC gating, and strict marketing language controls. | Reduces regulatory and reputational risk while keeping fan onboarding smooth and enforceable. |
Success Measures (KPIs)
APX help Ketchup set targets for these KPIs during Phase 0. The intent is to measure real participation and sustained engagement, not vanity metrics such as short-term price movement or trending topics. Where possible, KPIs will be instrumented directly from on-chain and platform telemetry. APX recommends that Ketchup define success in measurable outcomes rather than vanity metrics. The KPIs below are examples and will be refined during Phase 0 Discovery.
3. APX Understanding of the Project Context
4. Proposed Solana Solution Overview
APX proposes a single official token (the 'Token') deployed on Solana, supported by a suite of consumer-facing experiences that create real utility. The token ecosystem is modular: Ketchup can activate more advanced modules over time without rebuilding the foundation. The choice of Solana is deliberate, prioritizing speed, low fees, and energy efficiency, which are all key considerations for a large-scale consumer launch. The solution consists of six building blocks. Each is designed to stand alone, but they work best as an integrated system under one delivery authority.
Core Building Blocks
5. Scope of Work and Delivery Phases
APX delivers the ecosystem through a staged model that reduces risk and creates decision points. Each phase produces concrete deliverables and a go/no-go checkpoint so Ketchup retains control over timing and approvals. This structured methodology ensures that all stakeholders remain aligned from discovery to long-term operations. Deliverables and what they mean are detailed below.
Phase 0 - Discovery, Requirements, and Gating
Phase 1 - Token Design, Compliance, and Technical Spec
Phase 2 - Core Build and Security Hardening
Phase 3 - Launch, Activation, and Public Readiness
Phase 4 - Operations, Reporting, and Iterative Expansion
Consolidated Deliverables Matrix
| Deliverable | What APX Provides | Why it matters / acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Official Solana token deployment | Canonical token creation, verified metadata, supply controls, and documented mint authority policy. | Prevents fragmentation; accepted when token is deployed and verified in agreed explorers. |
| Treasury custody and controls | Multisig configuration, signer policies, spend limits, and operational runbook. | Reduces theft risk; accepted when custody is configured and tested with signed transactions. |
| APXCOIN Incentive Treasury | Dedicated APXCOIN vault, distribution engine, commitment of up to 10M APXCOIN for fan incentives. | Strengthens launch; accepted when vault controls are verified and tranche rules are documented. |
| Token allocation and vesting | Allocation schedule, lockups, vesting automation, and written rationale. | Protects market credibility; accepted when vesting logic is live and auditable. |
| Consumer onboarding experience | Wallet onboarding flows, optional custodial path, eligibility gating hooks, and UX copy. | Enables mainstream users; accepted when flows complete end-to-end in test environment. |
| Utility mechanics v1 | Access gating, redemption rules, participation actions, and anti-abuse controls. | Utility creates defensible positioning; accepted when actions execute correctly and logging is complete. |
| Monitoring and telemetry | Dashboards for participation, treasury movements, health indicators, and alerts. | Allows operational control; accepted when alerts trigger correctly and dashboards reflect accurate data. |
| Security hardening | Threat modeling, transaction simulations, key handling procedures, and pre-launch testing. | Reduces exploit risk; accepted when security checklist is completed and issues are remediated. |
| Launch runbooks and checklists | Production deployment plan, rollback plan, incident response playbook, and staffing plan. | Launch is an operational event; accepted when runbooks are delivered and rehearsed. |
6. Governance, Approvals, and Brand Controls
Governance is a critical success factor. The token and its consumer experiences must be treated as an official extension of the film brand. APX proposes a lightweight approvals model that is strict enough to protect IP and messaging, but fast enough to avoid paralyzing execution.
| Workstream | APX | Ketchup (Business) | Ketchup (Legal) | Studio / Rights-holder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Token deployment and custody | R/A | C | C | I |
| Token naming, branding, and metadata | C | A | C | A/I |
| Utility mechanics approval | R | A | C | A/I |
| Public messaging and disclosures | C | A | A | A/I |
| Launch timing decision | C | A | C | I |
| Incident response | R/A | C | I | I |
Approval Cadence: APX recommends a weekly approvals meeting during build phases and a tighter cadence during launch windows. Decisions are documented in writing and become part of the execution record. Public Communications Discipline: APX will provide a communications guardrail document that defines acceptable phrasing and prohibited claims.
7. Technical Architecture and Security Model
APX designs the technical architecture to be production-grade from day one. The system is modular, upgradeable under controlled processes, and built with explicit security assumptions rather than optimism. Supply controls, treasury controls, vesting schedules, and lockups will be enforced using audited logic and multi-signature governance.
Custody and key management model
8. Compliance, Consumer Protection, and Risk Management
APX's compliance posture is built around practical risk reduction. The Token is positioned as a utility instrument connected to participation and experiences, not as an investment product. APX will help enforce a marketing discipline that avoids financial-promissory language and sets honest consumer expectations.

9. Commercial Terms and Compensation (Detailed)
The structure is designed to (a) fund a real delivery team, (b) keep APX fully accountable for outcomes, and (c) align long-term incentives so APX is rewarded only if the ecosystem succeeds. Cash payments ensure engineering and operations are properly funded, while performance participation motivates quality and retention. For clarity, all percentage-based compensation is derived exclusively from the coin venture; APX maintains zero interest or percentage in the revenue of the film itself.
| Economic Component | Proposed Structure | Business Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Discovery Retainer | USD 150,000 (Phase 0) | Secures immediate team; credited 50% against build. Ensures Phase 0 rigor. |
| Core Build Fee (Phase 2) | USD 1,250,000 (Market coins) | Funds engineering tranches; Solana token program, security hardening. |
| Operations Retainer (12 mo) | USD 85,000 / Month in Market Coins | Maintains uptime, security, incident response, and governed upgrades. |
| APXCOIN Treasury Contribution | Up to 10M APXCOIN | Strategic contribution to fund fan incentives without inflating project supply. |
| Token Allocation (APX) | 15% of total supply (Coin Venture Only) | Aligns long-term upside; subject to lockups and 36-month vesting. |
| Primary Asset Revenue Share | 30% of gross receipts (Coin Venture Only) | Applies to initial sales and in-universe drops. APX drives this performance. |
