Turning Fans Into Stakeholders: An Exclusive Interview with Giggle Co-Founder Cindy

An Exclusive Interview with Cindy Wu, Co-Founder of Giggle, an AI- and Web3-powered platform reimagining fan engagement through a new "Interact-to-Earn" model. Backed by 3 Body Labs, Giggle transforms fan interactions into tokenized, investable assets—ushering in a new era of interactive IP. Wu shares insights into the platform, its implications for creators and communities, and what's next for this emerging industry.

SILICON VALLEY, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 9, 2025 / From Play-to-Earn to Move-to-Earn, the "X-to-Earn" wave has already reshaped gaming and fitness. Now a new frontier is emerging: Interact-to-Earn, where fan engagement itself becomes an investable asset. Giggle, an AI- and Web3-powered platform backed by 3 Body Labs, wants to make that future real. We sat down with Co-Founder Cindy to unpack how Giggle tokenizes fan interaction, why "interactive IP" is the next big category, and what's coming next.

Interview with Giggle's Co-founder, Cindy Wu:

Interviewer: Cindy, in one sentence, what is Giggle?

Cindy: Giggle is the monetization infrastructure for interactive IP - we let creators and IP holders turn fan actions (remix, vote, duet, meme) into on-chain value with IP Tokens.

Interviewer: Where did the idea originate?

Cindy: My co-founder Roger and I noticed two gaps:

1. Fans already remix everything on TikTok and YouTube but capture zero upside. Studios struggle to quantify that engagement in P&L terms.

2. Giggle bridges both by issuing IP Tokens and sharing revenue every time a fan sparks interaction.

Interviewer: Walk us through the core product stack.

Cindy:

1. AI Content Engine - generates derivative videos, artwork, even music stems in minutes.

2. Engagement Widgets - plug-and-play "Vote", "Remix", "Duet" modules.

3. IP Token Issuer - one-click smart-contract deployment with compliance presets (US/EU/Asia).

4. DEX Liquidity Router - auto-routes fees and buybacks to keep tokens liquid.

Interviewer: How does Interact-to-Earn work in practice?

Cindy: Fans use a widget - say an AI Remix challenge. Each submission mints an on-chain proof. Smart contracts send token rewards to the fan, royalties to the IP owner, and a slice to a buy-back pool that supports price stability. Everyone wins.

Interviewer: You're incubated by 3 Body Labs, known for an AI film-generation stack. How does that synergy play out?

Cindy: Giggle plugs directly into 3 Body Labs' AI Director, so an influencer can drop a 30-second vocal stem and get a full-blown music video fans can remix within hours - no studio overhead.

Interviewer: What traction can you share?

Cindy:

• Pilot IPs signed to date

  • A U S. competition franchise with 50 million+ fans

  • A globally renowned sci-fi IP already adapted into a Netflix series (season 2 now in production)

  • A Billboard-charting singer

  • A leading film studio in India

  • A Hong Kong film studio controlling a library of 600+ classic HK movies

• On-chain performance (private-beta stage)

  • The first two Hong Kong movie IP tokens issued on Giggle now average US $100 K+ in daily trading volume

  • Combined fully diluted market cap has surpassed US $3 million

Interviewer: Roadmap for the next six months?

Cindy:

1. Launch Interact-to-Earn pilot with 10 flagship IPs.

2. Open Widget Store to third-party devs.

3. List the first batch of IP Tokens on major DEXs.

4. Release our creator dashboard with real-time royalty analytics.

Interviewer: One call-to-action for IP owners or influencers reading this?

Cindy: If you have a community that loves to remix or meme your work, DM us. Early partners get rev-share upside and governance tokens in the Giggle ecosystem.

Closing

Giggle's bet is simple: the more interactive a piece of IP becomes, the more valuable it is. By letting fans earn alongside creators, the company hopes to rewrite the economics of fandom.
