# Economic Model for Voyage Trilogy

### <mark style="color:red;">Governance and Economic Roles</mark>

**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.

$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 Governace unlocks:
  * Exclusive digital assets
  * Special missions
  * Faction-based advantages and access

$In-game – 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**, while **In-game token 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

### <mark style="color:red;">Token Classification Under MiCA</mark>

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

In-game – Utility Token

The in-game token 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

Governance Utility Token

The governance token serves 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

{% hint style="info" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:red;">Dual-Token System: Governance & Utility</mark>

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

Governance and Community

Governance 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., 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 and making them co-creators, not just users.

Fuel of the In-Game Economy 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:

* In-game → stimulates daily activity and value creation
* Governance → ensures democratic decisions and long-term stability

{% hint style="info" %}
This interaction creates a dynamic, self-sustaining economy where effort, cooperation, and strategy are rewarded.
{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:red;">Token Allocation (Governance and In-game)</mark>

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

**Governance Token Allocation**

**Total supply:** 1.2 billion&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/SQIbkDICys3eOGb1cD9r" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Governance Token Allocation**

| **Phase**            | **Allocation** | **Number of Tokens** |
| -------------------- | -------------- | -------------------- |
| Genesis Pre-Seed     | 1.5%           | 18 million           |
| Early Investor Phase | 4.5%           | 54 million           |
| TGE 1                | 6%             | 72 million           |
| TGE 2                | 6%             | 72 million           |
| **Total**            | **18%**        | **216 million**      |

#### **Remaining Tokens Will Be Allocated To:**

* **Staking rewards**
* **DAO incentives**
* **Community airdrops**
* **Liquidity pools**

**Liquidity**

* $1–1.5 million USD will be added to the **Governance token/USDC pool**

**In-game – Utility Token - 20 billion**

<figure><img src="/files/DwSudIB09buhBfYqSysO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

| **Phase** | **Allocation** | **Number of Tokens** |
| --------- | -------------- | -------------------- |
| TGE 1     | 2.5%           | 500 million          |
| TGE 2     | 2.5%           | 500 million          |
| **Total** | **5%**         | **1 billion**        |

**Liquidity:**

$3–4 million USD will support the **In-game token/USDC pool**.

**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**.

### <mark style="color:red;">**Token Sale and Launch on DEX**</mark>

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

**Governance 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 **Governance token/USDC pool** on DEX at launch.

**In-Game 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 **In-game token/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.

**Governance – 10-Year Vesting Model**

**Total allocated for staking rewards:** 276 million token.\
Distributed over three phases with gradually decreasing emissions:

| **Phase**             | **Period** | **Distribution** | **Annual Emission** |
| --------------------- | ---------- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| High Engagement       | Years 1–4  | 50%              | 34.5M/year          |
| Transition Period     | Years 5–7  | 30%              | 27.6M/year          |
| Sustainability Period | Years 8–10 | 20%              | 18.4M/year          |

**Cliff Period:**

Varies from none to 26 months for investors and team members, depending on the phase.

**Effect:**\
Ensures early active participation while gradually decreasing token emissions over time.<br>

<figure><img src="/files/ovFkYJSjoZ42CvgnqTKT" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**In-game token – 12-Year Staking Model**

**Total allocated for staking rewards:** 3 billion token\
Long-term emission model focused on sustainability and value preservation:

| **Phase**         | **Period** | **Distribution** | **Annual Emission** |
| ----------------- | ---------- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| Early Growth      | Years 1–4  | 50%              | 375M/year           |
| Transition Period | Years 5–8  | 30%              | 225M/year           |
| Stabilization     | Years 9–12 | 20%              | 150M/year           |

#### **Cliff Period:**

Varies by group – **Seed and Pre-Sale investors have a minimum of 6 months**.\
Tokens are **released monthly after the cliff** and **linearly throughout each phase**.<br>

<figure><img src="/files/IT7Iu8KOxCHUwk7r1FHY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**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

### <mark style="color:red;">**Token Velocity & Economic Control**</mark>

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

### <mark style="color:red;">**Staking and Burning Mechanisms**</mark>

*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 for a period
* Receive rewards in the form of new tokens, exclusive digital assets, or faction benefits
* Governance 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 Governance is burned |
| Interplanetary travel    | Governance 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 In-game token is automatically used to **buy Governance token via DEX**

**Distribution of Purchased Governance token:**

* 40% to DAO treasury
* 30% to staking rewards
* 30% to exclusive upgrades\
  → Creates natural demand for Governance token

**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 Governance token via DEX
* 30% → DAO and staking rewards

**Result:** A living, adaptive economic ecosystem

* Tokens are naturally burned through activity
* Demand for Governance token is stimulated via DEX integration
* System adjusts itself based on player behavior and market conditions

### <mark style="color:red;">**Inflation & Deflation Mechanisms**</mark>

*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 In-game token

**Balanced Mechanisms**

| **Mechanism**                         | **Inflation or Deflation?** | **Effect**                      |
| ------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Staking rewards                       | Inflation                   | Rewards long-term participation |
| Burning through gameplay              | Deflation                   | Reduces total supply            |
| Buffer system                         | Deflation balancing         | Smooths out fluctuations        |
| DEX conversion to Governance          | Deflation + value transfer  | Increases Governance demand     |
| Annual DAO treasury burn (Governance) | Deflation                   | Prevents power accumulation     |

**Dynamic Adjustments**

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

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Inflation mechanisms** ensure incentives and growth
* **Deflation mechanisms** secure value, scarcity, and balance
* Together, they form a **self-regulating, data-driven economic system**
  {% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:red;">**Enhanced Burn Mechanisms & Inflation Control**</mark>

*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?**

In-game token 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 Governance** on a decentralized exchange (DEX). The purchased Governance is distributed as follows:

| **Use of Purchased Governance** | **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 Governance while reducing In-game supply.

**Annual Treasury Burn (Governance)**

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

* **Unused Governance 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 **both token**
* Rewards **staking and long-term participation**
* Gradually and efficiently **reduces the circulating token supply**

### <mark style="color:red;">**Governance Staking Rewards**</mark>

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

**Purpose of Governance Staking**

* Incentivize participation in the DAO and voting
* Reward loyalty and engagement
* Gradually reduce emissions over time to create increasing scarcity

**10-Year Reward Model**

**Total allocated:** 276 million Governance token

| **Phase**            | **Years** | **Share of Total** | **Annual Emission** |
| -------------------- | --------- | ------------------ | ------------------- |
| High Engagement      | 1–4       | 50% (138M)         | 34.5M/year          |
| Transition Period    | 5–7       | 30% (82.8M)        | 27.6M/year          |
| Sustainability Phase | 8–10      | 20% (55.2M)        | 18.4M/year          |

**Staking Conditions**

* **Minimum staking period:** 30 days
* Required for participation in **DAO voting**
* **The longer the staking period**, the greater the share of the reward pool
* Integrated with **quadratic voting** for fair governance

**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 $Governance token is **purchased from burned In-game token via DEX** and returned to staking rewards
* The DAO can **adjust reward levels** as needed through governance proposals

### <mark style="color:red;">**In-game Staking Rewards**</mark>

The In-game token 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 In-game 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

**12-Year Reward Model**

**Total allocated:** 3 billion In-game token

| **Phase**     | **Years** | **Share of Total** | **Annual Emission** |
| ------------- | --------- | ------------------ | ------------------- |
| High Growth   | 1–4       | 50% (1.5B)         | 375M/year           |
| Transition    | 5–8       | 30% (900M)         | 225M/year           |
| Stabilization | 9–12      | 20% (600M)         | 150M/year           |

**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**

* The In-game token 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

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

### <mark style="color:red;">**Governance in Practice & Risk Management**</mark>

**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 Governance token for at least 30 days.**

{% hint style="info" %}
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**.
{% endhint %}
