Challenges are Mesi’s evolution of crowdfunding. Instead of rigid, long-term campaigns, Challenges are spontaneous, interactive “Dares” where creators commit to a specific action once a funding target is met.

How It Works

A Challenge is built on a simple “If X, then Y” logic. Creators set a goal, a deadline, and a promise.
1

Launch

Define your goal (e.g., “1,000 USDC”) and your commitment (e.g., “I will record a new song by Feb 1st”).
2

Fundraising

Fans contribute “Bid-Tips” toward the goal. These funds are held securely in escrow by the platform.
3

Threshold Check

If the target is reached within the timeframe (max 7 days), the creator moves to the execution phase.
4

Verification

Once the task is done, the creator marks it as “Completed,” triggering a 24-hour dispute window for transparency.

Possible Outcomes

To ensure fairness, Mesi uses automated smart contract logic to handle the funds based on the following three scenarios:

Successful Delivery

Creator finishes the task and clicks “Completed.” After a 24-hour dispute window, funds are released to the creator.

Target Met, No Action

If the creator fails to mark the challenge as completed within the defined window, all funds are automatically refunded to fans.

Target Not Met

The creator can choose to deliver anyway (receiving partial funds) or reject the challenge, triggering immediate refunds.

Fees & Incentives

Mesi encourages the use of the native ecosystem through a tiered fee structure:
Funding CurrencyPlatform Commission
USDC10%
$MESI Tokens5% (Incentivized Rate)

Engagement Rewards

Participating in a successfully completed challenge grants Engagement Score bonuses to fans.
  • Note: Refused or expired challenges do not trigger bonuses to prevent system abuse.

Limits & Safeguards

Time Sensitive: Each challenge can run for a maximum of 7 days. The completion window after reaching the goal cannot exceed 30 days.
  • Goal Caps: Your maximum fundraising goal is determined by your Account Tier.
  • Minimum Contribution: 1(ineitherUSDCor1 (in either USDC or MESI).
  • Dispute Resolution: If a fan files a valid complaint during the 24-hour window, Mesi moderators manually review the content before any funds are released.
