Reality TV. On Chain. For Good.
Backlot turns ambitious creative projects into community-funded, community-directed docu-series. Here every vote is on-chain, every dollar is transparent and every viewer is a producer and a backer.
The Problem
- ✗ Founders, creatives and innovators with big ideas stall out without early backing
- ✗ Reality TV profits go to networks not the people living the story
- ✗ Token projects lack real-world utility, stakes and a followable narrative
- ✗ Web3 content platforms feel soulless and extractive
Our Answer
- ✓ Community-backed experiments powered by the $BACKLOT token
- ✓ Viewers become producers and backers. With the power to vote, fund, and actively shape each subject's story arc.
- ✓ Every decision is on-chain: votes, funding, and participation
- ✓ Real people, real places, real impact. Starting in Jamaica and expanding outward

Tokenomics
$BACKLOT isn't just a token — it's your ticket to produce, vote, and shape the story. Every action has weight.
Holder Tiers
Your balance determines your access level. More tokens, more influence.
Browse episodes and watch livestreams
Vote on polls, access backstage content, appear on leaderboard
Vote on project-level decisions, higher voting weight
Full governance access, milestone funding votes, top-tier badge
Deflationary Burns
Every vote costs 10 $BACKLOT — permanently burned, not sent to any wallet. Voting literally reduces supply, making every remaining token more scarce.
Vote = Burn
10 tokens removed from total supply per vote
Diamond Hands Multiplier
The longer you hold, the louder your voice. Your vote weight multiplies based on how long you've held $BACKLOT — up to 4x at 90+ days.
1.0x
0–29 days
2.0x
30–59 days
3.0x
60–89 days
4.0x
90+ days
Voting Power Formula
voting_power = balance × holding_multiplier
A holder with 50K tokens held for 90 days has 200K voting power — 4x more influence than a day-one flipper with the same bag.

Why Backlot Wins
Built In Public
This isn't a pitch deck, it's a live feed. The 24/7 stream is running, the token is live and the community is already voting on what happens next.
Real-World Impact
We're starting in Jamaica IRL, not in another dashboard. We follow real people and ambitious projects on the ground and show how on-chain decisions change real places.
Solana-Native
Backlot is wired into Solana end to end with 8 deep integrations. Blinks, cNFTs, swaps and more. So every vote, reward and experiment feels fast, cheap. This is what building on Solana looks like.
The Social Experiment Starts Now
Let's make something real.
Built with love from Jamaica and the internet.
