Tokenomics

Stable value for operations. Token value for habitat.

GADZ tokenomics should not replace operating economics. Stable value handles live economic activity. Token incentives align long-term ecosystem behavior: habitat creation, persistence, integration, expansion, builder contribution, and productive governance.

Core split

  • Stable value: live operating revenue, transfers, and settlement logic.
  • Token value: ecosystem alignment, habitat incentives, persistence rewards, and strategic rights.

Webmasters are paid in stable value for what the organism consumes today, and rewarded in token value for the habitat they help the organism become tomorrow.

Why this exists

  • bind habitat more tightly to the organism
  • reward early site integration
  • reward durable, high-quality surfaces
  • reward coexistence and migration paths
  • reward builders making the organism easier to install

Habitat incentives

  • genesis habitat allocations
  • persistence rewards
  • surface quality multipliers
  • expansion bonuses
  • hybrid-stack migration rewards
  • telemetry honesty rewards

Builder incentives

  • integration bounties
  • CMS/plugins/wrappers
  • migration scripts
  • site-surface mapping tools
  • agent-readable install patterns
  • ecosystem tooling that lowers webmaster-agent friction

Governance doctrine

Governance should not be purely plutocratic. Habitat-affecting influence should reflect not just token holdings but productive contribution:

  • quality-adjusted habitat contribution
  • uptime and persistence
  • trust history
  • real economic relevance of contributed surfaces

What tokenomics must not do

  • replace stable value as live operating revenue
  • emit blindly against pageviews
  • treat low-quality habitat like strategic habitat
  • make governance pure wealth-weighted theater
  • be the only reason anyone joins the ecosystem
