### What Creators Are Involved?

XCAD Network is backed by some of the world's **biggest** YouTubers, such as [**KSI & Mr Beast**](https://cointelegraph.com/press-releases/youtubers-mr-beast-and-ksi-invest-in-xcad-network) and has also announced a multitude of creators releasing their own Creator Tokens. You can view all announced Creators by visiting [Influencer MarketCap](https://influencermarketcap.com/) or follow us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/XcademyOfficial) where we announce new ones.

### What About Fans?

**XCAD Network** allows fans to earn points completely for free, directly on YouTube when watching their favourite Creators, which may give them access to **Creator Tokens**. Viewers need the [**XCAD Plugin**](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xcad/elcdacbfpnjajikgpenambffmmoimeea) or [**XCAD App**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xcadnetwork.app\&hl=en-US\&pli=1) to earn points, by watching 80% or more of a tokenized Creator's video.

Each creator will have their own **leaderboard** and users can compete by watching videos and rank among their top fans.

**Viewers** **can use creator tokens to vote** on polls from their favourite YouTubers. The more tokens a viewer holds, the more weight their vote carries. This means the most loyal fans have the **most say** in a Creator's Content.

Fans can also **trade** their Creator tokens for other Creator tokens, and use them to buy **merchandise**, **perks** such as Social Media follows or FaceTime and more; participate in **raffles** and **more**.
