# Core Concepts

Mytho is a platform for launching and growing onchain communities built around tokens.

**Community Tokens**

Your community token represents your group's identity. Create a new token for free on Mytho, or use existing tokens or NFTs as your community token.

**Posts**

Posts are updates on your community page (text, images, videos). Any member can create posts to build your community's story. Each post is an NFT.

**Merit System**

Communities earn Merit when members create posts or engage. Each month, Mytho distributes a share of its platform revenue plus additional MYTHO incentives to community treasuries proportional to these Merit points. More activity in the community means more income.

**Community Treasury**

This is your community's wallet holding funds earned from Merit conversions. Token holders vote on how to use these funds (for example, to reward the most active community members or to sponsor the development of a community-driven product).

**Community Governance**

Token holders vote on treasury spending and rule changes. Decisions are transparent and community-driven.

**MYTHO Token**

Mytho's platform currency. Communities earn MYTHO through Merit conversions. Also used to buy community tokens or stake for platform rewards.

**Shard Tokens**

Individual rewards for interacting with posts. Earn Shards by creating/boosting posts. Redeem for perks (badges, staking boosts); burned after use.

**Boosting**

Lock your community tokens to promote a post's visibility. Earn Shard Tokens and help highlight content. More tokens locked = stronger boost.

**Mythum**

Special event during the last week of the month. Posting or boosting earns 1.5x Merit points. Each member gets one free boost to amplify community growth.
