Frequently Asked Questions

The Heat Exchange is a music-market ecosystem connecting artist markets, predictions, intelligence, media, and fan communities.

The Heat Index Music Market is the artist-market component of The Heat Exchange. Artists are listed through individual AIT markets where market activity reflects participant demand.

AIT stands for Artist Index Token. Each eligible listed artist has an individual AIT used within that artist's HIMM market.

APO stands for Artist Public Offering. Under the proposed framework, an artist begins with a 24-hour blind bidding period starting at $1.00 before entering the active market at its calculated opening price.

HeatEX is the native utility and rewards token designed for The Heat Exchange ecosystem. It is separate from individual artist AITs.

No. HeatEX is not required to acquire an artist AIT. It is designed to provide broader ecosystem utility, rewards, access, and benefits.

The Heat Sheet is The Heat Exchange's artist and market intelligence layer. Market Heat shows who is moving, while Artist Heat helps explain what may be driving an individual artist's momentum.

HottBoxes are artist-specific public communities. Users who Track an artist can participate in that artist's conversation.

Fire Factions are private artist-specific communities available to current holders of that artist's AIT.

Pyro Predictions is the music-focused prediction-market experience within The Heat Exchange ecosystem.

Heat Exchange Media is the media and content arm of The Heat Exchange ecosystem.

The Gold Standard Token Agency is the proposed independent standards, artist-verification, AIT-standardization, transparency, and individual-market oversight framework for The HIMM.

Under the proposed framework, eligible acts must represent human musical artists, satisfy applicable age and identity requirements, and have publicly available music on a recognized streaming platform.

This V1 experience is a product demonstration. Live market functionality, token deployment, transactions, and related functionality are subject to final implementation and applicable requirements.
