Tokenomics — Design Philosophy, Allocation, and Utility

The SUDO token is the economic backbone of the Sudo ecosystem. It is designed to incentivize participation, maintain economic sustainability, and create a self-reinforcing feedback loop between platform usage, user growth, and token value.

1. Token Purpose

The SUDO token serves multiple interconnected functions:

  • Utility: Used to access premium features such as exclusive usernames, group and channel creation, Zoom-style meetings, and advanced community tools.

  • Reward: Distributed through Message Mining, referral programs, and bot or MiniApp interactions.

  • Governance: Will provide voting rights for future community-led proposals and protocol changes.

  • Burn Mechanism: Implements scarcity via a buy-and-burn model tied directly to platform usage.

2. Total Supply

The total supply of SUDO is fixed at 100,000,000 tokens, with no possibility of future minting. All tokens are pre-minted and strategically allocated to support long-term growth and adoption.

3. Token Allocation

The supply is distributed across key categories to balance ecosystem incentives, liquidity, and strategic growth:

  • Message Mining Pool (35%): Dedicated to rewarding users for sending and receiving quality messages that pass the Proof-of-Message (PoM) algorithm.

  • Community Growth (10%): Airdrops, early adoption incentives, and gamified engagement tasks.

  • Liquidity Pool (10%): Initial pairing with 10,000 USDT on DEX; 90% of LP tokens permanently burned to ensure liquidity security.

  • Team & Advisors (10%): Locked for 12 months and vested over the following 24 months to align long-term incentives.

  • Treasury Reserve (10%): Maintained as an emergency buffer and to fund ecosystem grants.

  • MiniApp & Developer Incentives (10%): Rewards for developers creating bots, MiniApps, and plugins that drive adoption.

  • Partner Integrations & Exchanges (5%): Funding for CEX listings and strategic collaborations.

  • Username Economy Burn Fund (5%): Funds for buying and burning tokens from premium username purchases.

  • Contract Sync & Group Registry (5%): Fees collected when new smart contracts are attached to Sudo groups, fully used for buy-and-burn.

4. Token Flow

The token economy is designed around usage-based value cycling:

  1. User Activity → Message Mining Reward Pool: Every verified message interaction funds rewards from the mining allocation.

  2. Username Purchases → Buy & Burn: 100% of payments for premium usernames are converted to SUDO and burned.

  3. Smart Contract Group Sync → Buy & Burn: Each group or channel contract attachment fee (10 USDT) is converted to SUDO and burned.

  4. MiniApp & Bot Usage Fees → Burn or Treasury: Depending on configuration, a portion goes to the treasury and the rest is burned.

5. Burn Mechanism

SUDO employs continuous and event-driven burns to enforce scarcity:

  • Hourly Auto-Buy: $10 USDT worth of SUDO purchased from DEX each hour; 70% burned, 30% directed to the reward pool.

  • Username Fees: 100% converted to SUDO and burned.

  • Smart Contract Registration: Flat 10 USDT fee per contract, fully converted to SUDO and burned.

  • Voluntary Burns: Users can burn tokens for status, special perks, or premium identity features.

6. Rewards Distribution Strategy

The reward pool is funded primarily from platform usage revenue and the hourly auto-buy system:

  • 30% of the $10 hourly buy is allocated to the reward pool for mining distribution.

  • Future staking incentives will allocate up to 5% of the treasury reserve, unlocked gradually over 12 months.

  • Bot and MiniApp interactions distribute dynamic rewards based on verified engagement.

7. Deflationary Impact Forecast

At the baseline hourly buy rate of $10:

  • Annual buy volume equals $87,600 USDT.

  • With 70% burned, this equates to $61,320 USDT worth of tokens destroyed annually.

  • As user base, premium purchases, and smart contract integrations grow, burn volume accelerates.

  • This supply reduction combined with increasing demand creates upward pressure on token value.
