It's a bilingual audiobook about Ralph—the laziest rat alive—forced to become a reluctant king of the Helvetio Kingdom. It's dark, funny, and cinematic. But more than a story, it's an experiment in fractional IP ownership: the people who help it win actually own a slice of the IP and get paid.
We've already built the rails (DIXO OnChain: minting, gating, distribution bridge, analytics, payouts). King Rat is the proof: a franchise funded and owned by its earliest audience.
What You Own
Each Ralph Pass is not only "access." It's IP. Includes all seasons of King Rat—no additional fees.
Two complete audiobooks: English and Spanish (separate recordings and post-production), both included.
- Ralph Pass: 0.00833% of King Rat IP
- King Ralph Pass: 0.04165% of King Rat IP (5× Ralph Pass)
Same IP percentage per pass on every chain. No governance tokens, no committees, no roadmap voting—just revenue rights.
Payouts are quarterly—Listener Passs, books, streaming/platform splits, licensing/merch—in the chain's native coin, within 10 business days after quarter-end.

Listener Passs:
- Season 1: Available March 19, 2026
- Season 2+: Available upon release to IP holders first
- Price: 0.003 ETH per season
- On-chain, resellable
- No IP rights, no revenue sharing
- Their mint fees become YOUR revenue (via your 20% IP ownership)
Traditional platforms:

- Revenue from streams/subscriptions flows to IP holders
The cycle:
You earn from Web3 collectors (Listener Passs) and Web2 subscribers (platforms). Real distribution: 100M+ platform users vs ~5M in Web3.
The Story
Season 1 (13 episodes, bilingual EN/ES):
Ralph is the laziest rat alive. He wants cheese, naps, and zero responsibilities. But when he discovers he's the heir to the Helvetio Kingdom's treasure vault of 10,000 cheeses, the rat world descends into chaos. Ralph—purely by accident—becomes the reluctant king.
Seasons 2+ (releasing in 2026 onward):
The journey from Middle America to Switzerland—claiming the throne, defending the kingdom, facing rival heirs, discovering reluctant leadership. Revolutionary cats. Royal eagles. And a king who just wants to go back to sleep.
All seasons included in your original Ralph Pass purchase.
Why Base

Base advantages:
- 100% of total supply (2,400 passes)
- Ethereum-aligned L2
- Wider crypto audience
- Lower gas fees

Web2 Expansion Strategy
When Season 1 hits Audible/Spotify/Apple, King Rat reaches millions who've never touched NFTs. Algorithms, parent groups, teacher recs—real distribution at scale.
For holders: Mass-market streams + Listener Passs compound into quarterly payouts. You're not betting on Web3 adoption—you're betting on a great story finding its audience, while being one of only 2,400 who own a piece of it.
Transparency
Everything that matters is on-chain:
- Supply minted/burned
- Forge activity
- Secondary royalties collected
- Season revenue
- Quarterly distributions
Holders Dashboard shows:
- Your IP percentage
- Accrued to date
- Last payout
- Source breakdown
- Pending distributions

Payouts: Quarterly, per chain, within 10 business days after quarter-end, in the chain's native coin.
Legal/Terms: You're buying a revenue-sharing IP pass; terms govern the split mechanics and definitions.
Risk & Returns
Every creative venture carries risk. Returns depend on the story's success, not speculation. That's why all revenue flows transparently on-chain—so holders can verify performance in real time. No Hollywood accounting.
Not financial advice.
King Rat could earn nothing. Or it could earn millions. You're betting on the story, not guaranteed returns.
