Phase 4: Long-Term Sustainability (Continued Development & Innovation)

10 Develop Utility:
◦ Start thinking about the long-term potential of the coin by introducing real-world utility. Could Merle tokens be used for discounts on merchandise? Could the NFT holders get access to exclusive content or voting rights on future coin decisions?
◦ You could even create an interactive app or game featuring Merle the Cat where people can earn tokens, participate in fun activities, and become more involved in the community.
11 Collaborative Art Projects:
◦ Consider collaborating with other creators (especially child artists or young creators) to feature their art in Merle the Cat’s universe. This would highlight the community aspect while giving new, young artists a platform.
12 Merle’s Own Metaverse:
◦ In the future, why not aim for a small, playful metaverse environment where people can interact with Merle the Cat, perhaps in mini-games, pet simulations, or virtual hangouts? This could set you apart from other coins and build a unique identity for the project.
