The Social Echo: Leave Your Mark

How the ECHO WORKS
Spatial Audio Engine: We don't just play sound; we place it. Using advanced HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Functions), our app simulates 3D sound. As you turn your head or walk toward an "Echo," the audio shifts and grows louder, mimicking how you hear in the real world.Proof of Presence (PoP): To protect the integrity of the network, we use a proprietary "Proof of Presence" protocol. This ensures that every memory is anchored by a real person at a real location, preventing digital "GPS spoofing."Permanent Storage: Your memories shouldn't depend on a single company. The Social Echo uses Arweave, a decentralized "permaweb," to ensure that once an Echo is anchored, it stays there for generations—even if our servers go offline.

The $ECHO Protocol
Minting & Anchoring: The $ECHO token is the fuel of our network. Users spend a small amount of $ECHO to "Mint" a permanent memory. This prevents spam and ensures that only meaningful stories are anchored to the map.Staking for Governance: $ECHO holders can stake their tokens to join the Echo DAO. Stakeholders vote on "Spatial Zoning"—deciding which areas (like national parks or cemeteries) remain ad-free or protected zones.Discovery Rewards: We reward exploration. Users who discover rare "Genesis Echoes" or contribute highly-rated historical content are rewarded with $ECHO tokens from the ecosystem treasury.
