Username Economy & Ownership System

The Sudo Username System is more than a personalization feature—it functions as a decentralized identity layer with built-in economic incentives, community-driven value, and monetization opportunities. It integrates Web3 identity, messaging reputation, and token economics to create a sustainable and tradable digital asset ecosystem.

1. Username Structure

• Format: @yourname (similar to Telegram or Twitter).

• Each username is globally unique across the entire Sudo ecosystem.

• Stored on-chain via smart contract; optional NFT-based implementation for ownership portability.

• Premium Usernames:

• • 1–6 character usernames and brandable names are classified as premium assets.

  • Shorter usernames command higher market value.

• Free Usernames:

• • Generic usernames of 7+ characters are available free of charge, subject to community rules and availability.

By using on-chain registration, Sudo usernames serve as a verifiable Web3 handle that can link messaging activity, dApp engagement, and token-based reputation into one identity.

2. Pricing Logic

Premium usernames follow a tiered pricing model, with payments denominated in USDT and directly linked to the SUDO token burn mechanism.

Username Type	Example	Yearly Fee (USDT)	Burn Mechanism
1–3 Letters	@max, @xbt	100	100% Buy-and-Burn
4–6 Letters	@sudo, @dapp	10	100% Buy-and-Burn
Branded/Verified	@uniswap	Auction Based	100% Buy-and-Burn
Generic (7+ chars)	@johnsmith	Free	—

• All username fees are immediately used to market-buy SUDO from decentralized exchanges and burned permanently.

• Premium names require annual renewal; failure to renew results in forfeiture and re-listing.

3. Tradable Usernames (Optional Feature)

Usernames can be optionally tokenized as NFTs, allowing:

• Secondary Market Trading: Owners can list usernames for resale or auction.

• Creator Royalties: Original creators receive a percentage of each resale.

• Burn Incentives: A small percentage of each transfer is converted into a SUDO token burn, further reducing supply.

This transforms usernames into liquid digital assets with real-world market dynamics.

4. Username Dashboard

Each user has access to a personalized management dashboard to:

• View current market value of their username.

• Track search volume and demand metrics.

• Set resale or auction prices.

• Enable or disable username sale offers.

The dashboard integrates with on-chain data and marketplace APIs to provide real-time valuation and trading capabilities.

5. Username as an Asset

Usernames in Sudo can function as strategic digital assets:

• Marketing Handles: dApps can secure short, memorable usernames (e.g., @defiswap).

• Community Branding: DAO and group leaders can establish branded channels (e.g., @gov_eth).

• Influencer Identity: Crypto influencers can secure recognizable handles (e.g., @btcwhale).

• Reputation Staking: Verified names can serve as a trust signal in community and marketplace interactions.

6. Burn Impact & Token Scarcity

The username economy has a direct deflationary effect on the SUDO token supply.

Example:

• 10,000 premium usernames purchased at an average of 10 USDT each = 100,000 USDT in market buy-and-burn.

• Every burn permanently reduces token supply, creating scarcity and upward price pressure.

As adoption increases, username demand becomes a recurring and predictable burn mechanism, further enhancing long-term token value.
