# Tokenomics

## $GENESIS

$GENESIS is the core utility and governance token of the EtherForge ecosystem, designed to support both EtherForge Game and EtherForge Club through clearly separated economic roles.

* Total Supply: **1,000,000,000 $GENESIS (Fixed)**
* Primary Functions: progression, access, incentives, governance
* Non-Function: $GENESIS is not the primary wagering currency for house-based products

## 1/ Ecosystem-Level Role

At the ecosystem level, $GENESIS functions as:

* A long-term alignment token across EtherForge products
* A governance and access mechanism rather than a risk-bearing asset

## 2/ Utility in EtherForge Game

### 2.1/ PvP & Competitive Economy

In Ether Arena, players use $GENESIS to:

* Pay PvP entry fees
* Compete for rank-based rewards

PvP demand creates continuous token circulation tied to player skill and engagement.

### 2.2/ Play-to-Earn & Seasonal Distribution

Players earn $GENESIS through:

* Resource production
* PvP participation
* Mission completion

Seasonal reward pools and airdrops distribute $GENESIS based on in-game performance, reinforcing merit-based rewards.

### 2.3/ Marketplace Utility

$GENESIS is a primary currency in the EtherForge NFT marketplace, enabling:

* Trading Hero and Monster NFTs
* Exchanging equipment and Stones of Power
* Providing liquidity alongside $SOL

## 3/ Utility in EtherForge Club

### 3.1/ Role of $GENESIS in the Club Layer

Within EtherForge Club, $GENESIS functions as an ecosystem utility and access token, extending its role beyond core gameplay into financial and entertainment modules.

$GENESIS is used to:

* Unlock Club-level access and privileges
* Enable participation in selected Club features
* Support ecosystem-wide incentive and alignment mechanisms

### 3.2/ Separation From Wagering Risk

$GENESIS is not designed as a primary wagering or settlement asset within EtherForge Club.

* House-based exposure remains denominated in $SOL or stable assets
* $GENESIS operates at the access, participation, and incentive layer
* This separation prevents reflexive risk between speculative activity and token value

### 3.3/ Design Flexibility

The use of $GENESIS within EtherForge Club is modular and configurable, allowing the protocol to:

* Introduce or adjust Club utilities through governance
* Expand Club functionality without altering token supply
* Preserve economic stability as new products are launched
