Economic Model for Voyage Trilogy

Governance and Economic Roles

The Voyage Trilogy operates on a dual-token model that balances governance with in-game utility, ensuring that both decision-making and economic activity are aligned with the interests of the community.

$Tellus – Governance Token

  • Grants voting rights within the DAO

  • Allows players to vote on key issues such as:

    • Resource distribution

    • Economic system updates

    • Feature proposals

  • Staking $Tellus unlocks:

    • Exclusive digital assets

    • Special missions

    • Faction-based advantages and access

$Galaxy – Utility Token

  • Used for all in-game economic functions, including:

    • Crafting

    • Trading

    • Travel

    • Upgrades

  • Earned through active participation and contributions

  • Features a built-in deflationary mechanism, burning a portion of tokens during gameplay activities to maintain scarcity and long-term value

Token Interplay

Players shape the future of the game world through governance with $Tellus, while $Galaxy powers the everyday economy.

  • Strategic decisions and collaboration fuel both political influence and economic growth

  • The ecosystem is designed to reward:

    • Short-term achievements

    • Long-term commitment

    • Community engagement

Token Classification Under MiCA

To ensure full legal compliance within the European Union, both tokens are structured in accordance with the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework.

$Galaxy – Utility Token

$Galaxy is strictly an in-game utility token and does not qualify as e-money, a security, or an asset-referenced token:

  • Not e-money: Not tied to fiat currency and not redeemable for cash

  • Not asset-referenced: Not backed by real-world commodities or financial instruments

  • Not a security: Does not represent ownership, profit rights, or voting power in any company or legal entity

Use cases:

  • Crafting

  • Travel

  • Trading

  • Resource management

  • Access to gameplay features

$Tellus – Governance Utility Token

$Tellus serves as a governance token within the game’s DAO and also falls outside financial classifications under MiCA:

  • Governance-only: Used solely for voting on proposals and decisions within the DAO

  • No financial rights: Does not grant shares, dividends, or monetary returns

  • Not a payment instrument: Cannot be used as currency or legal tender

Core functions:

  • DAO voting

  • Staking rewards

  • Faction governance participation

  • Proposal creation and submission

Both tokens are designed as non-financial, non-speculative digital assets, fully compliant with MiCA. This minimizes regulatory risk and enables safe, transparent usage within the EU and beyond.

Dual-Token System: Governance & Utility

The Voyage Trilogy is powered by a dual-token system that balances economic activity and community-driven development.

$Tellus – Governance and Community

$Tellus gives players influence over the game's future through decentralized governance (DAO).

Voting and proposal rights: Players can propose changes and vote on key decisions (e.g., economic changes, resource allocation, new features).

Staking rewards: A 10-year reward system encourages long-term commitment.

Exclusive benefits: Access to special missions, digital assets, and faction bonuses.

Purpose: To return ownership and responsibility to the players – making them co-creators, not just users.

$Galaxy – Fuel of the In-Game Economy

$Galaxy is used as the primary currency for all economic activities in the game.

Use cases: Crafting, trading, upgrades, interplanetary travel, and tournaments.

Rewards: Earned through active participation in the game, whether as an explorer, producer, or diplomat.

Deflation: A portion of $Galaxy is burned through in-game actions to create scarcity and value over time.

Mechanisms that regulate value:

  • Automatic burning

  • Buffer system for stability

  • DEX conversion to $Tellus

  • Dynamic transaction fees

Together, they create balance:

  • $Galaxy → stimulates daily activity and value creation

  • $Tellus → ensures democratic decisions and long-term stability

This interaction creates a dynamic, self-sustaining economy where effort, cooperation, and strategy are rewarded.

Token Allocation ($Tellus & $Galaxy)

To support a sustainable and fair economy, both tokens are carefully distributed across phases, users, and functions.

Deflation Strategy

Unsold tokens from the sale will either be permanently burned or distributed via airdrops (only to KYC-verified users). This ensures long-term value and reduced circulating supply.

Token Sale and Launch on DEX

To fund development and secure liquidity, a staged token sale is carried out in combination with the launch of decentralized trading.

$Tellus Token Sale

Total allocation for sale: 18% (216 million tokens)

Phases:

  • Genesis Pre-Seed: 1.5% (18M)

  • Early Investors: 4.5% (54M)

  • TGE Round 1: 6% (72M)

  • TGE Round 2: 6% (72M)

Liquidity: $1–1.5 million USD allocated to the $Tellus/USDC pool on DEX at launch.

$Galaxy Token Sale

Total allocation for sale: 5% (1 billion tokens)

Phases:

  • Seed Sale: 2.5% (500M)

  • Pre-Sale: 2.5% (500M)

Liquidity: $3–4 million USD will support the $Galaxy/USDC pool on DEX.

Burn Policy & Community Airdrops

Unsold tokens in the Seed/Pre-Sale phase will either be:

  • Permanently burned, or

  • Distributed to KYC-verified users via airdrops (MiCA-compliant).

Decentralized Exchange Model (DEX)

All tokens will launch on a DEX with initial liquidity pools. Using an AMM model (Automated Market Maker) ensures:

  • Fast trading

  • Fair pricing

  • Decentralized control

Purpose:

To create an open and accessible market from day one, with incentives for both investors and players.

Vesting and Cliff Plan

To ensure stability, trust, and long-term commitment from investors and players, The Voyage Trilogy uses vesting and cliff structures for both tokens.

$Tellus – 10-Year Vesting Model

Total allocated for staking rewards: 276 million $Tellus Distributed over three phases with gradually decreasing emissions:

Benefits of This Model

  • Reduces the risk of sudden sell-offs (dumping)

  • Builds long-term trust within the community

  • Encourages early participation and sustained activity

Token Velocity & Economic Control

To ensure long-term sustainability and balance within The Voyage Trilogy ecosystem, key economic mechanisms and regular analytics are used to monitor and manage token circulation — known as token velocity.

What is Token Velocity?

Token velocity describes how quickly tokens change ownership.

  • High velocity → Tokens are quickly sold → unstable value

  • Low velocity → Tokens are held or staked → stability and trust

The Voyage Trilogy dynamically monitors and adjusts the economy to ensure token velocity remains within desired limits.

Core Indicator: User Engagement

The system uses the DAU/MAU ratio (daily/monthly active users) as a key health metric:

DAU/MAU Value

Action

Interpretation

Below 0.3

Activate engagement rewards

Low engagement → Stimulate activity

0.3–0.5

No action needed

Healthy and stable growth

Above 0.5

Adjust rewards carefully

Strong ecosystem dynamics

Staking Participation

The staking rate directly affects circulating supply. The more tokens are staked, the lower the circulating supply — reducing velocity and reinforcing long-term engagement.

Quarterly Economic Review

The Voyage Trilogy conducts quarterly reviews to keep the economy healthy and responsive.

Data analyzed includes:

  • Token velocity trends

  • 90-day moving average

  • Rate of change in transaction volume

  • User behavior

  • Engagement rates (DAU/MAU)

  • Transaction patterns

  • Token distribution curves

  • Staking analysis (amount and duration)

  • Reward effectiveness

Goals of the Model:

  • Reduce inflation through active monitoring and adjustments

  • Maintain predictable and trustworthy token flows

  • Base all changes on data and community needs

Staking and Burning Mechanisms

The Voyage Trilogy uses a sophisticated system of staking and burning to create a healthy and deflationary economy. These mechanisms reward long-term commitment, reduce inflation, and adjust in real time to player activity.

Staking – Lock for Value and Influence

Staking plays a central role in both governance and rewards:

  • Players lock tokens ($Tellus or $Galaxy) for a period

  • Receive rewards in the form of new tokens, exclusive digital assets, or faction benefits

  • $Tellus staking also grants voting rights in the DAO

Effects:

  • Reduces circulating supply

  • Increases engagement and long-term involvement

  • Strengthens community-driven development

Burning – Permanent Token Removal

Burning is the primary deflationary mechanism in the game. Tokens are permanently removed through normal in-game activities:

Activity

Burn Effect

Crafting

Portion of $Galaxy is burned

Interplanetary travel

$Galaxy cost → burned

Tournaments / Mini-games

40% of entry fee is burned

Marketplace transactions

Portion of fee is burned

Advanced Deflation Mechanisms

Buffer System

  • High activity: A portion of tokens is temporarily held in a buffer

  • Low activity: Buffer is gradually burned → Stabilizes deflation over time

DEX Burn Conversion

  • A portion of burned $Galaxy is automatically used to buy $Tellus via DEX

Distribution of Purchased $Tellus:

  • 40% to DAO treasury

  • 30% to staking rewards

  • 30% to exclusive upgrades → Creates natural demand for $Tellus

Dynamic Marketplace Fees

  • Adjusted based on in-game activity:

Activity Level

Fee

Low

1–2%

Normal

5%

High

7–8%

Fee Allocation:

  • 40% → burned

  • 30% → used to buy $Tellus via DEX

  • 30% → DAO and staking rewards

Result: A living, adaptive economic ecosystem

  • Tokens are naturally burned through activity

  • Demand for $Tellus is stimulated via DEX integration

  • System adjusts itself based on player behavior and market conditions

Inflation & Deflation Mechanisms

The Voyage Trilogy uses a balanced system to regulate the supply of tokens in circulation. The goal is to combine rewards and growth with long-term value and stability.

Inflation – Controlled Growth

Inflation happens when new tokens are minted, e.g., through staking rewards. To keep this sustainable:

  • New tokens are issued gradually over 10–12 years (see vesting model)

  • Staking rewards decrease over time

  • Max annual inflation is capped at 2–3.5%

Purpose: To reward activity without flooding the market with new tokens.

Deflation – Active Token Removal

Deflation occurs when tokens are permanently removed through burning. This happens via:

  • In-game actions like crafting, travel, and upgrades

  • Tournaments and events

  • Marketplace transactions

  • Automatic DEX conversion of burned $Galaxy

The DAO has the authority to:

  • Adjust burn rate as needed

  • Modify staking rewards based on ecosystem health

  • Initiate extra burn events during milestones or by governance vote

  • Inflation mechanisms ensure incentives and growth

  • Deflation mechanisms secure value, scarcity, and balance

  • Together, they form a self-regulating, data-driven economic system

Enhanced Burn Mechanisms & Inflation Control

The Voyage Trilogy uses a series of advanced deflationary mechanisms to ensure long-term value, strengthen token demand, and keep inflation under control.

What Triggers Burning?

$Galaxy is automatically burned through:

  • Crafting & upgrades

  • Travel and interplanetary actions

  • Tournaments and competitions

  • Marketplace fees

Burning is a natural part of the player’s economic activity.

DEX Conversion: Purposeful Burning

A portion of what is burned is used to purchase $Tellus on a decentralized exchange (DEX). The purchased $Tellus is distributed as follows:

Use of Purchased $Tellus

Share

Purpose

DAO Governance Pool

40%

Voting and community initiatives

Staking Rewards

30%

Rewards for active, long-term players

Exclusive Upgrades

30%

NFT evolution, special content, prestige items

Result: Burning stimulates demand for $Tellus while reducing $Galaxy supply.

Annual Treasury Burn ($Tellus)

To prevent accumulation and centralization of power in the DAO treasury:

  • Unused $Tellus in the DAO budget is burned annually

  • For major milestones, the community can vote on extra burn events

Inflation Control in Practice

  • Annual inflation target: 2–3.5%

  • All emissions follow predefined vesting schedules

  • DAO can dynamically adjust burn rates and reward levels as needed

Combined Effect

  • Maintains the value of $Galaxy and $Tellus

  • Rewards staking and long-term participation

  • Gradually and efficiently reduces the circulating token supply

$Tellus Staking Rewards

To ensure an active and engaged governance structure, The Voyage Trilogy offers a long-term staking rewards program for $Tellus. This system rewards loyal players and reinforces community-driven development.

Purpose of $Tellus Staking

  • Incentivize participation in the DAO and voting

  • Reward loyalty and engagement

  • Gradually reduce emissions over time to create increasing scarcity

Strategic Value

  • Early participation yields higher returns

  • As emissions decrease, value per token increases

  • Reward levels are calibrated to reflect the project’s development phases

Connection with Burning and the DAO

  • A portion of $Tellus is purchased from burned $Galaxy via DEX and returned to staking rewards

  • The DAO can adjust reward levels as needed through governance proposals

$Galaxy Staking Rewards

$Galaxy acts as the fuel of the game economy – but it can also be staked to reward players over time. This long-term incentive program balances early growth with future value.

Purpose of $Galaxy Staking

  • Reward early and active participants

  • Create incentive to hold tokens and reduce sell pressure

  • Strengthen participation in the economic ecosystem – even outside of gameplay

Staking Conditions

  • Tokens can be staked directly through the game platform or linked smart contracts

  • Rewards are paid out linearly and follow the vesting structure

  • Players can combine staking with in-game activity for bonus effects

Effects on the Economy

  • Early high rewards → Accelerate adoption and user base growth

  • Gradually reduced emissions → Scarcity and value preservation

  • Secure inflation control through predefined amounts and timelines

Integration with the Game Economy

  • $Galaxy used in staking is not released into the market → lower velocity

  • Stakers may receive bonus yields during special campaigns, events, and DAO proposals

  • The DAO may adjust staking levels and durations based on market conditions

$Galaxy staking rewards engagement and helps build a stable, deflationary economy with growth phases balanced by long-term holding.

Governance in Practice & Risk Management

Quadratic Voting – Fair and Inclusive Governance

The Voyage Trilogy uses quadratic voting to establish a balanced voting model where both small and large token holders have influence – but no one can dominate.

How It Works

Votes cost tokens in quadratic progression:

  • 1 vote = 1 token

  • 2 votes = 4 tokens

  • 5 votes = 25 tokens

  • 10 votes = 100 tokens

  • 15 votes = 225 tokens

The more votes you want to cast, the more expensive each vote becomes.

All voters must stake $Tellus for at least 30 days.

Quadratic voting ensures fairness – strong preferences can still be expressed, but at higher cost. This leads to broader representation and reduces the risk of power concentration.
