ποΈ Ecosystem
One platform. Three apps. One token. This page is the map β every chapter in Part II zooms into one square of it.
The Matsuri ecosystem ships as three native iOS apps β all released and live on the App Store β running on one shared platform with one token. The Matsuri app is where culture is experienced and bought. GCF Admin is where the community that runs it does business, and J-Times is where Japan is told to the world.
Matsuri Coin (MTC) is the single unit of value that moves through all of it: earned by visiting, reading, guiding, and creating β spent on experiences, goods, tips, and backing the next project.
How the pieces interlockβ
GCF is the engine. An international community of people who love Japanese culture: its members claim guide slots on official tours, open KYC-verified shops, host streams, and launch crowdfunding campaigns. Membership tiers unlock discounts, early access, and higher MTC cashback β the full ladder is in GCF Membership.
The Matsuri app is the marketplace. Experiences, restaurants, a seller marketplace, crowdfunding, live streaming, and εζγγ€γγ³γ° (sanpai mining β Worship Mining) all live in one consumer app β which also carries an offline-first Disaster Lifeline, so the payment app in your pocket becomes a lifeline when it matters.
J-Times is the megaphone. "ζ₯ζ¬γγδΈηγΈ / Japan, to the World" β articles, podcasts, and video series that carry Japanese culture outward, and pay readers MTC for engaging with it through media mining.
MTC is the bloodstream. Every surface both pays out MTC and accepts it, and defined revenue splits β 20% of Matsuri HQ sales (guides & events) and 25% of GCF membership fees β flow into market buybacks and liquidity. How that loop compounds is the subject of The Flywheel and Tokenomics.
