🪙The ROCKTREE Economy - Tokenomics and Value Circulation

This section, of keen interest to investors, details the sophisticated tokenomics designed to support the economic sustainability of the ROCKTREE ecosystem.

3.1. Sustainable Dual-Token System

A single-token model has a structural vulnerability where inflationary pressure from in-game rewards directly impacts the value of the governance token. To solve this, Axie Infinity successfully introduced a dual-token model that separated its governance token, AXS, from its in-game reward token, SLP. ROCKTREE also adopts the advantages of this structure, securing the stability of its economic system with two tokens, each serving a different purpose.

  • ROTR (RockTree Oracle Token): The core governance token and value store of the ecosystem.

    • Utility: ROTR is used for staking to receive a share of treasury revenue and to participate in governance votes that determine the future of the ecosystem. It is also required and consumed for high-value activities such as creating (breeding) new 'Architect' NFTs and crafting legendary 'Artifacts.' It also serves as the primary currency for high-value NFT transactions, such as Land plots.

    • Supply: The total supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 ROTR to ensure scarcity.

  • GVL (Gravel Token): The utility token paid out as a reward for major in-game activities.

    • Utility: Players earn GVL by completing quests and winning PvE/PvP battles. The earned GVL is spent on daily in-game activities such as crafting common-grade items, repairing equipment, and paying entry fees for regular dungeons.

    • Supply: The total supply of GVL is not fixed, but its circulating supply is dynamically adjusted through token issuance (Sources) and burning (Sinks) mechanisms to curb inflation and maintain a stable value.

3.2. ROTR Tokenomics and Distribution

Transparency is the most critical factor in building trust for a decentralized project. The distribution plan and vesting schedule for the ROTR token are designed to demonstrate the team's long-term vision and fairly reward early contributors, while also preventing sharp sell-offs at launch.

150,000,000

ROTR

12-month cliff after TGE, then linear vesting over 36 months.

Standard practice to incentivize the core team for the long-term success of the project and prevent early dumping.

Liquidity & Market Making

10%

100,000,000

ROTR

Unlocked as needed for DEX/CEX listings to ensure a healthy and liquid market post-TGE.

Essential for token stability and accessibility for all participants.

This transparent distribution plan provides potential investors with crucial information to model future supply inflation, assess the team's commitment, and understand how the ecosystem is designed to grow.

3.3. The Economic Flywheel: Balancing Sources and Sinks

The fundamental reason many P2E economies fail is that token creation (sources) overwhelms consumption (sinks), leading to hyperinflation. To solve this problem, ROCKTREE has designed sophisticated source and sink mechanisms for both tokens to create a virtuous cycle of value, or an 'Economic Flywheel.' This structure clearly illustrates how value is circulated and managed within the ecosystem, demonstrating an economic depth that transcends the simple 'earn-and-sell' model.

Token
Sources (How Tokens are Created/Earned)
Sinks (How Tokens are Consumed/Destroyed)

ROTR

- Staking rewards from the Treasury - Top-tier tournament prizes - Rewards for discovering and deciphering 'Glyph-Stones'

- Fees for creating (breeding) new 'Architect' NFTs - Fees for crafting legendary 'Artifact' NFTs - Buy-back & Burn using a portion of marketplace fees - Fees for submitting governance proposals

GVL

- Rewards for winning PvE/PvP battles - Rewards for completing daily/weekly quests - Periodic production from specific land buildings

- Crafting common/rare grade items - Repairing equipment durability - Entry fees for regular dungeons - Upgrading land buildings
