# Wanted Spotlight and Sponsor Campaigns
### Turning WNTD Into Attention
Wanted Network is built around a simple truth:
> **Creators do not only want rewards.**\
> **Creators want attention.**
Creators want views, followers, credibility, social proof, profile growth, and better distribution.
Wanted Spotlight is the WNTD-powered promotional layer of Wanted Network.
It gives creators and sponsors a way to unlock visibility inside the ecosystem.
This is one of the core demand drivers for WNTD.
Creators can earn WNTD through Bounties, then use WNTD to promote themselves.
Sponsors can use WNTD to promote Missions, fund Bounties, and access creator distribution.
This gives WNTD a clear purpose:
> **WNTD is not only earned.**\
> **WNTD is used to access attention.**
### What Wanted Spotlight Is
**Wanted Spotlight is the promotional marketplace inside Wanted Network.**
It allows creators, sponsors, communities, and partners to use WNTD to access promotional inventory across the platform.
Potential Wanted Spotlight placements include:
* homepage creator features
* Wanted Board highlights
* official X/Twitter mentions
* Telegram features
* Discord features
* Weekly Dispatch placements
* featured submission slots
* creator profile boosts
* creator interviews
* campaign highlights
* sponsor Mission placements
* selected media and PR campaign opportunities
Wanted Spotlight turns WNTD into a visibility token inside the Wanted Network ecosystem.
### Why Wanted Spotlight Matters
If creators only earn WNTD and have no reason to use it, the token becomes vulnerable to farming and selling.
Wanted Spotlight helps solve this problem.
A creator may win WNTD from a Bounty and then choose to use that WNTD to gain more visibility.
For example, a creator could use WNTD to unlock:
* a homepage feature
* a social mention
* a Weekly Dispatch placement
* a highlighted Wanted Board position
* a creator interview
* future campaign visibility
This gives creators a reason to keep WNTD inside the ecosystem.
The creator loop becomes:
1. Create content.
2. Build Heat.
3. Win WNTD.
4. Use WNTD for Spotlight.
5. Gain more visibility.
6. Grow audience.
7. Compete for larger Bounties.
8. Become more Wanted.
This is stronger than a simple reward-and-dump model.
### Creator Spotlight Utility
Creators may use Wanted Spotlight to promote their content, profiles, or submissions.
Possible creator-facing Spotlight options include:
| Spotlight Option | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Homepage Feature | Creator appears in a featured placement on the Wanted Network homepage |
| Wanted Board Highlight | Creator receives enhanced visibility on a leaderboard category |
| X/Twitter Mention | Creator is featured by the official Wanted Network account |
| Telegram Feature | Creator is promoted inside the Wanted Network Telegram community |
| Discord Feature | Creator is promoted inside the Wanted Network Discord community |
| Weekly Dispatch Placement | Creator is included in Wanted Network’s weekly update |
| Featured Submission | A creator’s approved submission receives additional platform visibility |
| Creator Interview | Creator receives a profile or interview feature |
| PR / Media Spotlight | Creator may be included in selected media or sponsored creator spotlight campaigns |
These placements are intended to help creators grow.
They also create a direct reason for creators to buy, earn, stake, or spend WNTD.
### Spotlight Access Methods
Wanted Spotlight may be unlocked in several ways.
#### Spending WNTD
Creators or sponsors may spend WNTD to unlock specific promotional placements.
When WNTD is spent, it may be recycled into Bounties, allocated to treasury, burned, or distributed through ecosystem incentives.
#### Staking WNTD
Creators may stake WNTD to qualify for Spotlight opportunities, higher-tier placements, or recurring promotional access.
Staking helps reduce circulating supply and rewards committed participants.
#### Winning Bounties
Some Bounties may include Wanted Spotlight placements as part of the reward package.
For example, a creator may win:
* WNTD
* a homepage feature
* an X/Twitter mention
* a Weekly Dispatch placement
* a creator badge
#### Creator Rank Milestones
Creators who reach specific Heat or Wanted Board milestones may unlock discounted or exclusive Spotlight opportunities.
#### Sponsor Campaigns
Sponsors may use WNTD to secure featured campaign placements, Mission visibility, or promotional inventory for their Bounties.
### Spotlight Should Not Buy Victory
Wanted Spotlight is designed to increase visibility.
It is not designed to buy leaderboard wins.
Creators may use WNTD to promote themselves, highlight submissions, or access featured placements, but Wanted Spotlight should not directly guarantee:
* first place rankings
* Bounty wins
* fake Heat
* fake votes
* artificial engagement
* guaranteed community selection
The integrity of the Wanted Board matters.
If creators believe the platform is pay-to-win, trust will weaken.
Wanted Network is built around the principle:
> **WNTD can buy visibility.**\
> **WNTD cannot buy victory.**
### Example Wanted Spotlight Tiers
Wanted Network may introduce tiered Spotlight options.
Example structure:
| Spotlight Tier | Example Requirement | Example Utility |
| ------------------ | ------------------: | --------------------------------------- |
| Street Feature | Spend or stake WNTD | Telegram or Discord feature |
| Heat Feature | Spend or stake WNTD | Weekly Dispatch mention |
| Board Highlight | Spend or stake WNTD | Wanted Board visibility |
| Homepage Spotlight | Spend or stake WNTD | Homepage creator feature |
| Network Push | Spend or stake WNTD | X/Twitter mention and community feature |
| Creator Interview | Spend or stake WNTD | Interview or creator profile |
| Media Spotlight | Spend or stake WNTD | Selected media or PR campaign inclusion |
Final pricing, access rules, and availability may vary based on campaign timing, platform capacity, review standards, and market conditions.
### Sponsor Campaigns
Wanted Network is not designed only for individual creators.
It is also designed as a campaign platform for sponsors.
Sponsors may include:
* gaming brands
* crypto projects
* streamers
* creator tools
* exchanges
* wallets
* communities
* agencies
* esports groups
* launch campaigns
* entertainment brands
Sponsors can use Wanted Network to create Missions, fund Bounties, and activate creators around specific content objectives.
A sponsor may want creators to produce:
* short-form clips
* reactions
* memes
* review content
* tutorials
* commentary videos
* campaign announcements
* launch coverage
* community challenges
* creator-led social content
Wanted Network gives sponsors a structured way to reach creators through Missions and Bounties.
### Sponsor Utility for WNTD
Sponsors may use WNTD to:
* launch Missions
* fund Bounty pools
* secure featured Mission placement
* access creator distribution
* appear on the Wanted Board campaign area
* appear in Weekly Dispatch
* promote sponsor Bounties
* unlock campaign analytics
* activate creator communities
* access premium campaign packages
This creates demand for WNTD beyond creators and presale participants.
The sponsor side is important because it gives Wanted Network a long-term revenue path.
### Sponsor Campaign Revenue
Wanted Network may generate revenue from sponsor campaigns through:
* campaign setup fees
* sponsored Mission placements
* Bounty management fees
* platform service fees
* featured placement fees
* managed creator campaign services
* partner promotion packages
* selected media campaign placements
This revenue can support platform operations, marketing, creator rewards, treasury growth, and future campaign expansion.
### Example Sponsor Campaign Flow
A sponsor wants to run a creator campaign through Wanted Network.
The flow may look like this:
1. Sponsor selects a campaign objective.
2. Sponsor funds a Bounty pool.
3. Sponsor uses WNTD to unlock Mission placement or promotional inventory.
4. Wanted Network publishes the Mission.
5. Creators submit approved content.
6. Content builds Heat and competes on the Wanted Board.
7. Winners are selected based on Mission rules.
8. Rewards are distributed.
9. Campaign results are reported.
10. A portion of WNTD activity is recycled into the ecosystem.
This creates a structured connection between sponsor demand and creator output.
### Example Sponsor Budget Allocation
A sponsor-funded campaign may be allocated across creators, platform revenue, and WNTD ecosystem support.
Example:
| Campaign Use | Example Allocation |
| -------------------------------- | -----------------: |
| Creator Rewards / Bounties | 60% |
| Wanted Network Platform Revenue | 20% |
| WNTD Market Buy / Reward Support | 10% |
| Treasury Lock or Burn | 5% |
| Community / Referral Rewards | 5% |
| **Total** | **100%** |
This is only an example.
Final sponsor campaign structures may vary based on campaign type, legal requirements, sponsor goals, market conditions, and platform policy.
### WNTD Recycling From Spotlight and Sponsor Activity
When WNTD is spent inside Wanted Network, it may be allocated across several ecosystem functions.
Example allocation:
| Use of Spent WNTD | Example Allocation |
| ------------------------------ | -----------------: |
| Recycled into Future Bounties | 40% |
| Treasury / Operations | 25% |
| Burn | 20% |
| Community / Staking Incentives | 15% |
| **Total** | **100%** |
This structure is designed to create a circular economy.
WNTD can move through the ecosystem as creators, sponsors, and holders use it for visibility, access, rewards, and platform participation.
### Why This Matters for WNTD Demand
Wanted Network needs more than reward emissions.
The ecosystem must create reasons for WNTD to be acquired and used.
Wanted Spotlight and Sponsor Campaigns create several demand drivers:
* creators may buy WNTD to unlock visibility
* creators may stake WNTD to qualify for premium placements
* creators may keep earned WNTD to access future opportunities
* sponsors may buy or use WNTD to launch campaigns
* sponsor activity may support Bounty funding
* spent WNTD may be recycled, burned, or locked
* platform activity may create recurring token utility
This turns WNTD into more than a reward token.
It becomes the access layer for attention inside Wanted Network.
### Creator Attention as a Marketplace
Wanted Network is built around the belief that creator attention has value.
Creators want to be seen.
Sponsors want creators to create.
Communities want content.
WNTD connects those needs.
The platform gives creators a way to compete for rewards and visibility.
It gives sponsors a way to activate creators.
It gives WNTD holders a token with utility across access, promotion, voting, and platform participation.
The result is a marketplace for creator attention built around Missions, Heat, Bounties, and Spotlight placements.
### Summary
Wanted Spotlight and Sponsor Campaigns are central to the Wanted Network business model.
They create a reason for WNTD to be used after it is earned or purchased.
Creators can use WNTD to gain visibility.
Sponsors can use WNTD to launch campaigns and reach creators.
Spent WNTD can be recycled into Bounties, treasury, burns, and incentives.
This supports a circular economy where WNTD flows through creator rewards, promotional access, sponsor demand, and future platform activity.
The simplest version is:
> **Creators earn WNTD by generating attention.**\
> **Creators and sponsors use WNTD to access more attention.**
