GOCHI’s economic model is designed for long-term sustainability, balancing player rewards with ecosystem health through a carefully structured tax system and token utility.

​
Tax Structure

The foundation of GOCHI’s economic model is the 8% transaction tax applied to all $TOKEN token purchases and sales:

5% to Rewards

Directly funds the SOL rewards distributed to active players through the hourly reward system.

2% to Liquidity

Automatically enhances market stability by adding to liquidity pools, reducing slippage and price impact.

1% to Development

Supports ongoing platform improvements, marketing initiatives, and operational costs.
This tax structure creates a self-sustaining ecosystem where player activities directly fund rewards, while ensuring sufficient resources for platform growth and market stability.

​
Sustainability Mechanics

Several mechanisms work together to ensure GOCHI’s economic sustainability:
The reward system scales automatically with trading volume:
Daily Reward Pool = Daily Trading Volume × 0.05
This ensures that rewards remain proportional to ecosystem activity without requiring external funding or unsustainable emission rates.
$TOKEN token has meaningful utility beyond speculation:
  • Holding Multiplier: Creates demand for accumulating and holding tokens
  • Pet Creation: Tokens used for creation are burned, decreasing supply
  • Premium Features: Provides ongoing utility for token spending
These utilities create natural token sinks that help maintain price stability.
While the holding multiplier benefits larger holders, several measures prevent excessive advantage:
  • Power function (0.7 exponent) creates diminishing returns
  • 8.0× maximum multiplier creates a reasonable ceiling
  • Care quality remains essential even for whales
This balanced approach rewards investment while maintaining gameplay importance.

​
Volume Requirements

The sustainability of GOCHI’s reward system depends on maintaining healthy trading volume:
Daily VolumeDaily RewardsMonthly RewardsSustainability Assessment
$1M$50,000$1.5MMinimal viable operation
$5M$250,000$7.5MTarget healthy ecosystem
$10M+$500,000+$15M+Thriving ecosystem
For long-term sustainability, minimum daily volume should be at least 20× the daily reward distribution. This ensures sufficient funding for rewards while maintaining market liquidity and development resources.

​
Economic Phases

GOCHI’s economy is designed to evolve through several phases:
1

Launch Phase (Months 1-3)

  • Initial token distribution through points conversion
  • High early trading volume and volatility
  • Generous initial rewards to drive adoption
  • Focus on building user base and engagement
2

Growth Phase (Months 4-9)

  • Stabilizing token price with increasing utility
  • Expanding player base with more distributed token holdings
  • Normalized reward distribution as player base grows
  • Introduction of additional utility features
3

Maturity Phase (Month 10+)

  • Stable, sustainable economy with predictable rewards
  • Balanced token distribution across player segments
  • Deep liquidity and reduced price volatility
  • Community governance beginning to play larger role

​
Token Velocity Management

Managing token velocity (how quickly tokens change hands) is crucial for long-term economic health:

Velocity Reduction

  • Holding multiplier incentivizes keeping tokens rather than trading
  • Pet creation burns create permanent supply reduction
  • Vesting schedules for team and advisor tokens prevent early selling

Healthy Circulation

  • Premium features encourage some token utilization
  • Trading activity generates tax revenue for rewards
  • Balanced approach allows for both holding and utility

​
Risk Management

During periods of extreme market volatility:
  • Treasury reserves can temporarily supplement reward pool
  • Dynamic adjustment of reward calculation ensures fairness
  • Incentive programs can boost activity during low-volume periods
As player counts vary:
  • Per-player rewards adjust automatically through the reward formula
  • Early adopter advantages create natural retention
  • Progressive holding multipliers benefit long-term community members
GOCHI’s economic model differs from many blockchain games by rewarding in SOL rather than the native token. This reduces sell pressure on $TOKEN while providing immediate, tangible value to players in an established cryptocurrency.
