🤝 GCF — the international community at the heart of co-creation
From "audience" to "co-creator." Joining GCF means becoming a companion in growing the Matsuri economy.
Matsuri Coin's vision of "from competition to co-creation" cannot be realized by technology and tokens alone. Passionate people scattered across the world, connecting culture and people in their own locations, giving the ecosystem a pulse — and the core of that is GCF (Global Community Friends).
GCF is not a simple "membership." It is a business community that shares revenue, and a strictly invitation-only partner organization (DAO) that participates in the very growth of the Matsuri ecosystem.
Membership tiers
| Tier | Role | Privileges |
|---|---|---|
| 👑 Platinum | Founding partner / VIP | Limited to 50 people. Participates in business decisions; top-tier reward design |
| 🥇 Gold | Ambassador | The active force. Rewards scale with activity. Mining and referral share rates are maximized |
Platinum literally has only 50 seats — the founding partner tier. Gold members are the engine itself of the ecosystem: they move, they connect, they expand — on the ground.
Platinum membership pricing
Platinum seats increase in price in stages. The earlier you join, the lower the price of becoming a founding partner.
| Seat # | Price (excluding tax) |
|---|---|
| 1–10 | ¥500,000 (~$3,500) |
| 11–20 | ¥800,000 (~$5,600) |
| 21–30 | ¥1,500,000 (~$10,500) |
| 31–40 | ¥2,500,000 (~$17,500) |
| 41–50 | ¥5,000,000 (~$35,000) |
Benefit 1: active mining (mining rights)
The 550 million MTC (about 61% of total supply) that unlock on June 1, 2027 will not be dumped on the market. They are reserved as the reward pool for contributors.
Based on your activity (revenue, visitors brought in, guide sessions), MTC is paid out automatically from the pool. Rewarded fairly, in proportion to what you did — that is GCF's reward design.
Rewards before the mining pool unlocks (2026 – May 2027)
MTC releases from the mining pool begin in June 2027, but rewards are paid in the meantime as well:
| Reward type | Content | Payment method |
|---|---|---|
| Referral commission | Referral rewards for memberships, tours, events, etc. | USDC + MTC (instant) |
| Guide rewards | Per-event commission + tips | Bank transfer / crypto |
| Contribution score accumulation | All activity is recorded off-chain, and when the pool unlocks in June 2027, MTC is distributed in bulk according to accumulated score | Converted in June 2027 |
Until June 2027 is a period for accumulating score. The members who are most active during this period will receive the largest MTC payout when the pool unlocks. Referral commissions and guide rewards are paid in real time, so there is no period with zero income.
See Tokenomics for the detailed halving schedule.
As with Bitcoin, the halving makes early releases the largest. Those who are active in period 1 (2027–2029) will receive the most MTC. Rewards are determined not by "how early you joined" but by "how much and how well you contributed."

Benefit 2: high-value referral rewards
By referring high-value products (memberships, VIP tours, partner real estate, and so on), you earn high-value rewards (USDC + MTC) on a different scale from ordinary affiliate programs. Rewards are paid back instantly via smart contract — no human in the middle, no delays, no opacity.
Referrals are not a one-off payout. As long as the people you referred continue to be active in the ecosystem, continuous revenue sharing keeps flowing. In other words, the network you built becomes your own asset.
The GCF role — what members do
GCF members are not "hold and wait" investors. They are co-creators who move on the ground of the ecosystem and generate value.
| Activity | Content | Connected product |
|---|---|---|
| 🗺️ Inviting guides | Discover local culture guides and invite them onto the Matsuri platform | Matsuri App |
| 🎪 Planning events | Plan, list, and attract guests for original culture-experience events and tours | Matsuri App |
| 📢 Publishing content | Produce and spread J-Times articles and podcasts, bringing in new users | J-Times |
| 🤝 Community operations | Grow local and online communities; deepen connections between members | GCF admin web |
| 📊 Operations | Track referrals, analyze sales, and manage your team from the GCF admin dashboard | GCF admin web |
Every one of these activities is recorded on-chain as Proof of Action, directly tied to mining rewards. "Doing what you love" becomes economic activity itself — this is Matsuri's co-creation model.
GCF closes recruitment as soon as the limited seats (50 Platinum / Gold count being finalized) are filled. Holding this membership means becoming the co-creating partner most deeply involved in the Matsuri economy.
Joining requires an introduction from an existing member. We want to grow the community through "mission," not "numbers."
