Business Comparison and Phased Engineering Implementation
To keep the platform's expansion commercially clear and manageable, GKM compares the traditional short-drama industry with the new model across all key business dimensions and defines engineering delivery paths within its existing four-stage roadmap.
| Business Dimension | Traditional Live-Action / Traditional AI Short Dramas | Leading-IP Crowdfunding and Smart Revenue Sharing |
|---|---|---|
| Core Business Model | A one-way content bet driven by paid acquisition, pursuing a very low 0.47% hit rate. | On-chain securitized crowdfunding of cultural assets with a high degree of certainty, building belonging among global fans and communities. |
| Acquisition and Traffic Costs | Paid acquisition accounts for 70% of end-to-end costs, creating heavy dependence on centralized algorithmic distribution. | Uses established IP fan bases and viral growth through DAO governance and collaborative storytelling, with very low paid-acquisition costs. |
| Primary Revenue Engines | Impulse-driven episode unlocks by mass-market audiences and low-priced feed advertising. | Crowdfunding management fees, secondary derivative-rights transfer levies and shares of global streaming revenue settled per second. |
| Token-Economy Role | Simple in-platform points or tipping instruments, with persistent selling pressure on secondary-market supply. | Strongly compresses supply elasticity: long-term staking and lockups in IP crowdfunding vaults significantly reduce circulating supply M. |
| Compliance and Legal Risk | Highly homogeneous content, susceptibility to likeness-rights infringement and exposure to domestic Qinglang content-cleanup campaigns. | High compliance under international copyright frameworks and strict smart-contract constraints, supporting institutional participation. |
| Target Users | General short-video audiences seeking momentary sensory stimulation, with very short retention cycles. | Dedicated animation and comics fans in Europe, North America, Japan and South Korea, light-novel readers, Web3 cultural investors and professional producers. |
