Initial Network State

What is Staking#

Our initial goal is not to find a stable price. This may seem antithetical to our currency aspirations, but we ensure you it is not. God DAO can be tuned to optimize for different things. The main tradeoff is volatility and profitability versus stability and consistency. With volatility and profit comes growth; this is what we want early on. With tight policy and scale, God DAO should function well as a stable asset. Upward and downward pressures should stabilize at some non-intrinsic value. With loose policy, regardless of scale, God DAO has the potential to act as a wealth creation machine. The market premium of the token measures the positive sum of the game; all extrinsic value is new wealth created.

Alpha State#

The initial network features a one-way treasury (money goes in, none comes out), the bonding contract (through which supply increases and profits are produced i.e minting), and the staking contract (where profits are distributed). The following are the initial policy states:

  • BCV - BCV varies based on mint types . It is tuned regularly by the Policy team to meet the protocol goals. For example, if the protocol wants to accumulate more liquidity into its treasury, it can lower the BCV for allowing users to mint $God with LP to increase their bond capacity.
  • Bond vesting term - It is set to a approximately five days for all Bonding Asset types.
  • $God distribution - Every time someone Mints $God, the proceed will go to the God DAO Treasury. A corresponding amount of $God will be minted and distributed to three parties:
    • Bonder - The bonder will receive the quoted amount of $God minted linearly over the vesting term.
    • DAO - The DAO receives the same amount of $God as the bonder. This represents the DAO profit.
    • Stakers - After accounting for the $God distributed to the bonder and the DAO, the rest will be distributed among all stakers in the protocol.
