A Decentralized Data Market for Anime, Manga & Manhwa Fandom
ODX transforms fan engagement into a tradable, ownable asset. Think of it as a stock market, but instead of trading company shares, users trade tokens that represent the engagement and popularity of anime, manga, and manhwa IPs.

Fan engagement data is valuable, but currently controlled by centralized platforms:
- Fans generate valuable data (likes, ratings, votes, predictions, memes, posts) that disappears into centralized databases
- Users can't monetize their engagement - platforms profit from user data while users get nothing
- No data ownership - users can't prove they created specific engagements or claim historical contributions
- Data manipulation risk - centralized platforms can alter, delete, or censor user data
- Lack of transparency - creators and fans lack transparent insights into genuine fan sentiment and trends
- No attribution - early contributors and viral content creators can't prove their impact
Without decentralized storage:
- Can't verify who made which engagement
- Rewards could be gamed with fake accounts
- No way to prove early contributor claims
- Attribution disputes can't be resolved
- Token prices could be manipulated with fake engagement
ODX solves these problems by creating a decentralized data market where:
- Fans own their data - All engagement is stored on Walrus with cryptographic proof of ownership
- Data becomes valuable - Engagement data is aggregated into tokenized assets (IP Tokens)
- Contributors are rewarded - Early and high-value contributors earn tokens
- Transparent pricing - Token prices reflect real, verifiable community engagement
- Tradable assets - Users can buy, sell, and trade IP tokens on a marketplace
Simply put: Fans own the data they generate, and that data has real value.
- Admin creates IP tokens for anime/manga/manhwa IPs (e.g., Chainsaw Man, One Piece, Solo Leveling)
- Fixed supply: Each IP token has a limited supply (e.g., 200k tokens)
- Initial distribution:
- Portion held by admin/platform
- Reserve pool for contributor rewards
- Initial distribution to early adopters
Fans interact with the platform through multiple contribution types:
- Ratings and reviews - Rate anime/manga titles (1-10 scale)
- Memes and posts - Create and share content (images, videos, text)
- Episode predictions - Predict episode release dates
- Token price predictions - Predict token price movements
- Stakes - Stake tokens on predictions to show confidence
- Shares and promotions - Share content to drive engagement
Each engagement is:
- Stored on Walrus (decentralized storage)
- Signed with user's wallet (cryptographic proof of ownership)
- Timestamped and immutable
- Associated with specific IP token IDs
All fan submissions for a particular IP are aggregated to form a Data Profile:
Token metrics include:
- Average ratings across all contributors
- Total number of unique contributors
- Number of memes/posts created (viral content weighted higher)
- Number of predictions made and their accuracy
- Total stake volume (shows community confidence)
- Engagement growth rate (new contributions over time)
- Viral content scores
Token price calculation:
User Engagement (Walrus) + External Data (Nautilus) → Oracle Service → Combined Metrics → Token Price
Price increases as engagement/popularity grows, reflecting both genuine community interest (Walrus) and market reality (Nautilus).
The platform tracks and rewards contributors based on:
- Early Engagement - First contributors to an IP get bonus tokens
- Prediction Accuracy - Correct predictions earn more rewards
- Viral Contributions - Content that drives engagement gets rewarded
- Network Effects - Users who bring others to engage get a share
Rewards are distributed from the reserve pool proportionally to contribution value and timing.
Users can:
- Buy/sell IP tokens on the marketplace (spot trading)
- Trade perpetual futures on token prices (advanced trading)
- Speculate on future engagement trends
Price discovery combines:
- Oracle-driven pricing - Based on aggregated engagement data from Walrus
- Market-driven pricing - Supply/demand from trades
- Hybrid model - Oracle sets base price, market adds premium
-
Lydia engages early with Chainsaw Man:
- Rates it 10/10
- Posts a viral meme
- Predicts "Will trend top 3 next week"
- Stakes 100 tokens on her prediction
- All data stored on Walrus with her wallet signature
-
Oracle service reads data from multiple sources:
- Queries all Chainsaw Man contributions from Walrus
- Verifies wallet signatures
- Fetches external metrics from Nautilus (MyAnimeList, AniList)
- Verifies Nautilus signatures
- Aggregates comprehensive metrics (user ratings, memes, posts, predictions, stakes + external popularity)
- Calculates combined engagement growth rate
-
Smart contract updates:
- Verifies Nautilus signatures on-chain
- Updates engagement metrics on-chain (user + external)
- Recalculates $CSM token price based on combined metrics (60% user engagement, 40% external popularity)
- Marks Lydia as early contributor
- Triggers reward distribution
-
Lydia receives rewards:
- $CSM tokens from reserve pool
- Bonus for early participation
- Bonus for viral meme
- Potential bonus if prediction is accurate
-
Marketplace activity:
- Traders buy $CSM tokens expecting price to rise
- If engagement spikes (new season, viral content), price rises
- Early contributors like Lydia can sell for profit
Walrus is not optional—it's the foundation of ODX's value proposition.
Without Walrus:
- Centralized databases mean the platform owns your data
- Users can't prove they created specific engagements
- Data can be manipulated or deleted by platform operators
- No way to verify historical engagement claims
With Walrus:
- Each engagement is stored on Walrus with a wallet signature
- Users cryptographically prove ownership of their data
- Data is immutable and timestamped
- Users can verify their contributions independently
Key Benefits:
- No Single Point of Failure - Data isn't stored on one server
- Censorship Resistant - Can't be taken down by authorities
- Transparent - Anyone can verify data exists and hasn't been tampered with
- Permanent - Data persists even if ODX platform shuts down
The Flow:
User Engagement → Stored on Walrus → Oracle Reads → Aggregates → Updates Token Price
Why This Matters:
- Token prices are based on real engagement data
- Oracle can verify data authenticity via wallet signatures
- Prevents fake engagement manipulation
- Ensures price reflects genuine community interest
How It Works:
- User rates/predicts/posts on an IP
- Engagement stored on Walrus with wallet signature
- Oracle service reads Walrus data
- Smart contract verifies signature matches user wallet
- Contributor record created/updated
- Rewards distributed based on verified contributions
Without Walrus:
- Can't prove who made which engagement
- Rewards could be gamed with fake accounts
- No way to verify early contributor claims
- Attribution disputes can't be resolved
With Walrus:
- Cryptographic proof of who created what
- Timestamp proves early engagement
- Immutable record prevents disputes
- Transparent reward calculation
Walrus stores ALL contribution types that affect token price:

}When token price needs to update:
-
Oracle service queries Walrus for ALL contributions for an IP token:
- All ratings and reviews
- All memes and fun posts
- All episode predictions
- All token price predictions
- All stakes on predictions
- All shares and promotions
-
Calculates comprehensive metrics:
- Average rating across all users
- Total number of unique contributors
- Number of memes posted (viral memes weighted higher)
- Number of posts created
- Number of predictions made
- Total stakes placed (shows community confidence)
- Engagement growth rate (new contributions this week vs last week)
- Prediction accuracy (how many predictions came true)
- Viral content score (memes/posts with high engagement)
-
Oracle calls smart contract to update metrics
-
Smart contract recalculates price:
new_price = base_price * (1 + growth_rate * multiplier) Growth rate includes: - Rating growth - Meme/post engagement - Prediction activity - Stake volume - Viral content impact -
Updated price feeds into marketplace
Why Walrus Matters for Pricing:
- Can't fake historical data (it's on Walrus with signatures)
- Can verify ALL contributions independently
- Price reflects TOTAL community engagement (not just ratings!)
- Memes, posts, predictions, stakes - everything affects price
- Dynamic platform where all otakus can contribute in their own way

For Users:
- Own your data with cryptographic proof
- Portable data that follows you, not the platform
- Verifiable early contributor status
- Immutable engagement history
For the Platform:
- Trustless system - don't need to trust platform
- Transparent - all engagement data is publicly verifiable
- Accurate pricing - token prices based on real, verified data
- Fair rewards - can't game the system with fake engagements
For Token Holders:
- Real value - token prices reflect genuine community engagement
- Data integrity - can verify metrics independently
- Price discovery - oracle-driven pricing based on real data
The Goal: Make ODX the biggest, most dynamic platform for all otakus! Every contribution matters:
- Your meme can go viral and boost the token price
- Your prediction can be accurate and earn rewards
- Your stake shows confidence and affects market sentiment
- Your post can spark discussions and increase engagement
- Your rating contributes to overall IP score
Without Walrus, ODX would be just another centralized platform where the company owns user data. With Walrus, ODX becomes a true decentralized data market where users own their contributions (ALL types - not just ratings!) and token prices reflect genuine, comprehensive community engagement.
Nautilus Oracle provides cryptographically verified external data to complement user contributions from Walrus.
The Problem:
- User engagement data alone may not reflect broader market trends
- Need to verify community sentiment against established platforms
- Price manipulation risk if relying solely on internal data
The Solution:
- Nautilus fetches data from trusted external sources (MyAnimeList, AniList, MangaDex)
- Data is cryptographically signed by the Nautilus enclave
- Provides verifiable "external truth" to validate community engagement
How Nautilus Works:
- Runs in an AWS Nitro Enclave (secure, isolated environment)
- Fetches data from external APIs (MyAnimeList, AniList, MangaDex)
- Cryptographically signs the data with enclave keys
- Returns signed metrics that can be verified on-chain
Key Benefits:
- Tamper-proof: Enclave ensures data integrity
- Verifiable: Signatures can be verified on-chain
- Transparent: Attestation documents prove enclave authenticity
- Trustless: No need to trust a centralized oracle
The Complete Flow:
User Contributions (Walrus) + External Data (Nautilus) → Oracle Service → Combined Metrics → Token Price
Data Sources Combined:
- Walrus: User ratings, memes, posts, predictions, stakes (community engagement)
- Nautilus: External ratings, popularity scores, member counts, trending data (market reality)
Price Calculation:
price = base_price * (1 + growth_factor)
growth_factor = (
user_engagement_growth * 0.6 + // 60% weight on community data
external_popularity_growth * 0.4 // 40% weight on external truth
) * multiplier
Oracle Service Workflow:
- Oracle service calls Nautilus enclave with IP token name
- Nautilus enclave fetches data from configured sources:
- MyAnimeList: Ratings, popularity, member counts
- AniList: Ratings, favorites, trending scores
- MangaDex: View counts, ratings, popularity metrics
- Enclave signs the data cryptographically
- Returns signed metrics to oracle service
Example Nautilus Response:
{
"source": "myanimelist",
"ip_name": "Chainsaw Man",
"metrics": {
"average_rating": 8.7,
"popularity_rank": 15,
"member_count": 2500000,
"favorites_count": 450000
},
"signature": "0xabc123...",
"timestamp": 1736629200,
"attestation": "..."
}On-Chain Verification:
- Smart contracts verify Nautilus signatures
- Enclave public key registered on-chain
- Attestation documents prove enclave authenticity
- Prevents data manipulation and ensures trust
Verification Process:
- Oracle receives signed data from Nautilus
- Oracle forwards data + signature to smart contract
- Smart contract verifies signature matches registered enclave key
- If valid, metrics are accepted and used for price calculation
Oracle Service Combines:
-
User Metrics (from Walrus):
- Average user ratings
- Total contributors
- Meme/post engagement
- Prediction activity
- Stake volume
-
External Metrics (from Nautilus):
- External average ratings
- Popularity scores
- Member/view counts
- Trending indicators
-
Combined Result:
- Weighted average ratings
- Comprehensive popularity score
- Growth rate (user + external trends)
- Market sentiment indicator
