The Economic Flywheel: Sustaining Long-Term Value

The central thesis of the CoPperClicker economy is the balance between token emissions (faucets) and token sinks. The long-term value of CPC depends on creating robust and compelling reasons for players to spend their tokens within the game.

• The Community Treasury: To create a self-sustaining system, a percentage of all CPC spent in the in-game marketplace (e.g., on upgrades or NFT mints) will be automatically routed to a dedicated, on-chain Community Treasury. For example, if a player spends 100 CPC on an upgrade, 10 CPC could be sent to the treasury.

• Recycling Value for Sustainability: This treasury is not a static pool. It is the engine of the economic flywheel. The funds held in the treasury, which will eventually be controlled by the DAO, will be used to replenish the Play-to-Earn reward pools, fund prize pools for seasonal tournaments, and provide grants for community-led initiatives. This creates a circular economy where the economic activity of current players directly funds the rewards for future players. This value-recycling mechanism is inspired by the most sophisticated economic models in Web3 and is designed to give the CPC token long-term legs.
