Username Economy – Premium Identity System

In the Sudo ecosystem, usernames are more than just identifiers—they are scarce, tradable digital assets with intrinsic market value. By combining vanity identity features, on-chain asset ownership, and deflationary tokenomics, the Username Economy creates a new layer of utility and scarcity within the Sudo platform.

1. Key Objectives

The Premium Username System is designed to:

• Offer vanity usernames as limited, tradable assets.

• Create a sustainable token sink through purchase and renewal fees.

• Incentivize early adoption with low-cost acquisition of high-value names.

• Enable identity monetization, allowing users to resell in-demand usernames.

2. Username Tiers

Usernames are categorized into scarcity-based tiers with defined pricing and burn rules:

Tier	Length	Example	Availability	Pricing (Annual)	Burn %
Tier 1 (Elite)	1–3	@pro, @a	Rare	100 USDT	100%
Tier 2 (Prime)	4–6	@block, @dev	Limited	10 USDT	100%
Tier 3 (Free)	7+	@crypto_guy	Open	Free	0%

• Premium Tiers (1 & 2): Require annual renewal to retain ownership; all fees are converted to SUDO and permanently burned.

• Free Tier: Allows standard username creation without associated costs.

3. Burn Mechanics

The Premium Username System is a built-in deflationary mechanism for the SUDO token:

• 100% Buy-and-Burn: All payments for premium usernames are converted into SUDO via market buy orders and then permanently burned.

• Annual Renewal: Maintains recurring buy-and-burn activity year over year.

• Direct Price Support: Every purchase increases demand while reducing circulating supply.

4. Secondary Market Potential

Premium usernames are tokenized as ERC-721 NFTs, enabling transfer and trade:

• Resale Rights: Ownership transfer gives the buyer exclusive control of the alias.

• Royalties: A 2% royalty fee on each secondary sale is converted to SUDO and burned.

• Speculative Market: Early, high-demand usernames can appreciate significantly, similar to ENS domains or rare Twitter handles.

5. Estimated Economic Impact

If 10,000 users purchase Tier 2 usernames annually:

• 10 USDT × 10,000 = 100,000 USDT in yearly revenue.

• All revenue converted to SUDO and burned = 100,000 USDT worth of tokens permanently removed from supply annually.

This consistent burn effect compounds with other platform utilities, reinforcing SUDO’s deflationary tokenomics.

6. Benefits of Premium Usernames

• Branding Power: Branded @handles for influencers, projects, and DAOs.

• Discoverability: Easier search and recognition within the platform.

• Credibility: Verified and scarce usernames signal trustworthiness.

• Custom Links: Shareable short URLs (e.g., sudo.app/@yourname).

• Value Appreciation: Early premium usernames can be resold at a profit.

7. Strategic Insight

The Username Economy is an integral part of Sudo’s reward and burn flywheel:

Every premium username purchase drives token demand, permanently reduces circulating supply, and increases identity value within the platform.

By linking identity ownership with deflationary tokenomics, Sudo transforms a simple feature into a core driver of economic sustainability and user engagement.
