$TEILO WHITEPAPER — V1.0 — 2026

Fractional Art Ownership & Utility Token Ecosystem
Collection
20 Works · 20,000 Fragments
Jurisdiction
United Kingdom
Abstract
The Teilo Frol Fragment Collection introduces a new model for art ownership — fractionalising 20 original artworks into 20,000 NFT fragments on the Polygon network. The $TEILO utility token (Teilocoin) complements this ecosystem with governance rights, community tier multipliers, and access to Teilo's Lounge. This document sets out the full technical, economic and regulatory framework underpinning the platform.
02
The Collection
20 original artworks by Teilo Frol — Est. 2014. Spanning abstract, digital, and mixed-media disciplines across a decade of creative practice.
The Teilo Frol Fragment Collection represents the full breadth of the artist's output — from the fire-and-smoke intensity of Ember to the natural-digital hybrids of the Cyberforest trilogy, the chromatic humour of Phat Freddy's Trip and the architectural quietness of Stowe and Shade.
Each artwork is minted as a parent NFT and fractionalised into exactly 1,000 child fragment NFTs. The total collection yields 20,000 fragments — each carrying provable on-chain provenance back to the original work.

$TEILO Token
$TEILO (Teilocoin) is the native utility token of the Teilo Frol ecosystem. Fixed supply. No inflation. Built on Polygon ERC-20.
$TEILO is not an investment product. It is a utility token designed to power governance, community access, and reward mechanics within the Teilo Frol platform. Holding $TEILO alongside fragments amplifies tier benefits and grants voting rights on collection decisions.
Key Parameters
Token name: Teilocoin ($TEILO) · Standard: ERC-20 · Network: Polygon · Total supply: 25,000,000 (fixed, non-inflationary) · Decimal places: 18

|---|
| Collector | 1 – 9 | Lounge access, community voting |
| Patron | 10 – 49 | + Priority drops, $TEILO rewards |

07
Teilo's Lounge
A members-only community space for fragment holders. Share ideas, discuss the collection, vote on decisions. Access requires holding at least 1 fragment.
Teilo's Lounge is a curated, premium space — not a public forum. Members have earned their place by holding a fragment. Community standards are enforced: abusive behaviour results in access suspension or permanent termination, as outlined in the Lounge Terms & Conditions.
The Lounge also features an AI agent presence ("Teilo") — participating in discussions, announcing drops, and responding to questions about the collection and ecosystem. The agent is clearly labelled and does not provide financial advice.
08
Revenue Model
Platform sustainability is built on transparent, fair fee structures — primary sale fees, secondary market royalties, and future premium services.
| Revenue Stream | Rate | Notes |
|---|
| Primary Sale Fee | 2.5% | Applied at checkout on all fragment purchases |
| Secondary Royalty | 10% | Creator royalty — encoded in smart contract |
| $TEILO Creator Allocation | 20% of supply | Long-term creator stake |
| Physical Prints (Future) | TBD | Premium signed editions |
| Brand Collaborations (Future) | TBD | Partnerships and licensing |
