# What is RAE Token?

RAE Token is the compensation protocol for creators.

Its mission is to be the best protocol to compensate creators, empower fans, and strengthen the direct connection between the two.

The RAE ecosystem achieves this goal by:

1. using the RAE Token to distribute ecosystem value, and
2. removing the interfering stakeholders of other models (e.g, advertisers and overbearing platforms.)

RAE Token is a payment infrastructure that allows creators to package their content with other creators, providing them with better economics and flexibility. It treats creators like founders of the network by providing them autonomy and has proven to be a better compensation model. This autonomy means creators can take breaks to avoid burnout and can try out different content without fear of losing their income overnight.

Simply put, creators are removed from the YouTube rat race and empowered to find their path with their fans.
