Background
Underdog is a protocol that allows for talent to reward and create a community around their biggest supporters by creating a social token.
Currently, Underdog has an MVP platform where underdogs and creators are able to create social tokens, find those who hold the tokens, and have their tokens bought.

Here are problems that underdog as a platform is beginning to face:
Difficulty onboarding creator supporters Difficulty activating creator/talent launch tokens in the pipeline So launching the token is great, but what else? These are macro problems that social tokens are facing at a high-level:
