Tokenized Username Economy & Naming System

Sudo introduces a decentralized, tokenized naming economy that enables users to own, trade, and monetize premium usernames as on-chain digital assets. These usernames serve as both personal identity layers within the Sudo ecosystem and scarce crypto assets that drive token demand through a built-in buy-and-burn model.

1. Username Structure

• Uniqueness: Every username must be globally unique.

• Format: Alphanumeric (A–Z, 0–9), with optional underscores; 3–20 characters.

• Case Handling: Case-insensitive, stored in lowercase for consistency.

• Examples: @satoshi, @nftqueen, @x123.

This structure ensures easy discoverability, brandability, and cross-platform identity consistency.

2. Paid vs. Free Usernames

Category	Availability	Pricing	Annual Fee
1–6 characters	Limited / Premium	$1–$100	$1/month
Brandable Keywords	Limited / Auction	Market-based	$1/month
Public Usernames	Free	0 SUDO	0

• Premium Usernames: Scarce, short, or highly brandable names reserved for premium tiers.

• Public Usernames: Generic, longer names available for free, subject to availability.

• Early adopters of premium usernames benefit from visibility, resale potential, and brand value.

3. Username Economy Flow

The lifecycle of a tokenized username follows a mint–own–trade–burn process:

1. Mint Username: User purchases a premium username using SUDO or USDT.

2. Ownership Tokenization: A unique ERC-721 NFT is minted to represent ownership of the username. Secondary Market Trading: Username NFTs can be listed and traded on the integrated marketplace.

3. Deflationary Burn: 100% of the revenue from primary username sales is used to buy and burn SUDO tokens, permanently reducing supply.

4. Benefits of Tokenized Usernames

• Anti-Spam Control: Limits the creation of throwaway accounts by attaching cost to premium identities.

• Influencer & Brand Value: Provides a unique, tradeable digital asset for creators, projects, and DAOs.

• Early Adopter Incentives: Creates a “username rush” similar to early ENS domain or social handle claims.

• Deflationary Tokenomics: Every premium username purchase contributes to daily SUDO token burns.

5. Username Security

• Non-Transferable Without Signature: Username NFTs require the owner’s cryptographic signature for any transfer.

• Social Recovery (Planned): If a wallet is lost, usernames can be reclaimed through a verified recovery process.

• Anti-Squatting Mechanisms: Premium usernames expire after a set period if not renewed or actively used, preventing long-term inactive hoarding.

6. Economic Impact

Example Scenario:

• 10,000 users purchase premium usernames at an average of $10/year.

• Total revenue: $100,000.

• Entire amount used to market-buy SUDO tokens and burn them.

• This creates a deflationary pressure on supply, increasing scarcity and supporting long-term token value.
