1. Supply-Based Pricing
Price is a direct function of circulating supply:P = k × √S. As contributors earn tokens (minting), supply rises and price rises. As contributors exit (burning), supply falls and price falls. At any moment, the price is fully determined by the formula — no market makers, no bid/ask spreads, no speculative premium.
Why it matters to you: You always know what your tokens are worth before you exit. The price is transparent and computable from public inputs. There is no hidden mechanism that can move the price against you.
2. Earned, Not Purchased
Tokens are issued only when a real revenue event occurs. A contributor earns tokens proportional to the revenue they helped generate. No tokens are sold for cash, and no tokens can be purchased directly. Why it matters to you: Your tokens represent actual contribution to the business — not a speculative bet. This also means Vibe Token is structured to sidestep the securities law concerns that come with direct token sales, protecting both you and the founder.3. Continuous Mint/Burn
Supply adjusts in real time. Every revenue event mints new tokens for the contributor. Every exit burns tokens and returns cash. There are no unlock schedules, no vesting cliffs, no arbitrary one-time supply events, and no governance votes required to change supply. Why it matters to you: You never have to wait for a predetermined unlock date to access your earned value. The system responds to real economic activity continuously, not on a schedule set by someone else.4. Self-Liquidating
The exit queue is funded entirely by future distributions — there is no reserve pool, no escrow, and no treasury set aside for exits. When you exit, your payout comes from the revenue share (α × dR) of future revenue events, processed FIFO.
Why it matters to you: There is no reserve that could be mismanaged, raided, or unexpectedly depleted. Exit funding is honest: it depends on future business performance, exactly as disclosed. You know going in that exits depend on revenue continuing.
5. Early-Weighted
Because price scales with the square root of supply (P = k × √S), early contributors earn more tokens per dollar of contribution than later contributors. At S = 1,000, the price is much lower than at S = 100,000. This compresses over time — the ratio narrows as supply grows — but the early advantage is real and permanent.
Why it matters to you: If you contribute early, when the business and token supply are small, you are compensated for taking that risk. Later contributors earn fewer tokens for the same contribution, reflecting the lower risk they take on.
6. Floor Protected
Smin = 1,000 sets a hard minimum on circulating supply. Regardless of how many tokens are burned through exits, supply never drops below 1,000. This prevents the price formula from approaching zero as supply approaches zero — a mathematical singularity that would make the token worthless and the system inoperable.
Why it matters to you: There is always a nonzero minimum price, even in the most extreme exit scenario. Your tokens retain a computable value as long as the business exists.
7. Whole Integers
Tokens are always whole numbers. Thefloor() function in the token earning formula ensures that fractional tokens are never issued. If a revenue event would earn you 14.87 tokens, you receive 14. The remainder is not tracked, banked, or carried forward — it simply doesn’t produce tokens.
Why it matters to you: Token balances are clean integers. Accounting is straightforward. There are no micro-balance edge cases, no rounding disputes, and no phantom fractions accumulating over time.
8. Scale-Agnostic
Thek formula — k = max(MRR ÷ 1,000,000, 0.005) — automatically calibrates the pricing constant to your business’s revenue scale. A business with 500,000/month in MRR both use the same token mechanics; only k differs. The system doesn’t require any structural changes as the business grows.
Why it matters to you: The rules you agree to at launch remain the rules forever. As the business scales up, the system scales with it without needing to be redesigned, re-parameterized, or re-negotiated.
These eight properties work together. Supply-based pricing is honest because tokens are earned, not purchased. Continuous mint/burn is safe because the floor prevents singularity. Early-weighting is fair because it is baked into the math, not administered by the founder. Self-liquidation is viable because distributions are continuous. Together, these properties make Vibe Token honest, predictable, and aligned between founders and contributors — by design, not by trust.
