Circular economy

✨ Introduction

Dante Games is building a next-generation AI-powered gaming ecosystem with real Web2-quality gameplay, NFT asset interoperability, and a dynamic circular economy. Unlike many previous GameFi models that relied on inflationary emissions and speculative reward structures, Dante introduces a controlled, sustainable economy where every value loop is player-driven and ecosystem-synced. with real Web2-quality gameplay, NFT asset interoperability, and a dynamic circular economy. This document outlines our transparent, token-based model designed to:

  • Sustain long-term value without token emission inflation

  • Integrate diverse monetization streams (AI, NFTs, marketplace, game access)

  • Enable a balanced and evolving economic loop where players and the ecosystem grow together

This economy powers all current and future Dante Games titles.

💰 1. $DANTE Token Utility Overview

$DANTE is the utility and governance token of Dante Games. It serves as:

  • The exclusive currency to purchase Souls, required to access game modes and progression tiers

  • A staking mechanism to unlock Special Tournament Keys and yield-based engagement events

  • The in-game payment method for multiple services:

    • NFT Packs (Heroes, spells, cosmetics)

    • Marketplace item purchases

    • AI Agent personalization and licensing

    • In-game consumables and passes (energy, skins, etc.)

    • Creator tools & AI access fees

Key Principle: $DANTE is never inflated post-TGE. While no new supply is minted, dynamic in-game sinks, marketplace fees, and flexible treasury allocations allow for sustainable management of circulating supply and long-term economic health.. Its value is preserved through recirculation and treasury controls.

🔄 2. Circular Flow Architecture

We define the Dante economy through three main components:

A. Revenue Streams (Inflows)

  1. AI Agent Monetization

    • Custom agent skins, AI evolution packs, ability slots

    • AI-as-a-service: Renting or deploying agents across games

  2. Souls Sales

    • Progression gate; mandatory for Adventure, Events, High-tier Arena

    • Sold exclusively for $DANTE

  3. NFT Packs & Consumables

    • New drops every season with rarity structure

    • Buyable with $DANTE or earned via Keys

  4. Marketplace Transactions

    • Fee in $DANTE or USDC on all trades

    • Hero trading, cosmetics, spell skins, agents

  5. Tournament Entry Fees

    • Some open (free with Keys), others gated via $DANTE staking or fee

  6. Web2 Player Expansion

    • Premium pass purchases with fiat (converted into $DANTE in backend)

    • Cosmetic bundles, clan access, skin sets

B. Ecosystem Pool (Recycling Core)

The Ecosystem Pool is a dedicated allocation within the tokenomics (initially comprising 20% of total supply) that serves as the heart of the recycling loop. This pool is non-inflationary and governed by DAO or team-managed policies to ensure strategic release of rewards and reinvestment into growth cycles. within the tokenomics that serves as the heart of the recycling loop.

  • Revenues from all inflows (AI, Souls, Packs, Marketplace, Tournament fees) are partially redirected into this pool

  • Instead of burning tokens, they are stored, managed, and redeployed into the ecosystem through:

    • Staking reward emissions

    • Tournament and seasonal competition rewards

    • Player quests, campaign events, and onboarding rewards

    • Liquidity injections when needed

C. Value Distribution (Outflows)

Flujos de salida del Ecosystem Pool:

  • Rewards for Players:

    • Seasonal Campaign Rewards (NFTs, $DANTE, Assets)

    • Tournament Prize Pools (with dynamic scaling)

    • Staking Rewards (short and long-term)

  • Incentive Programs:

    • Referral and ambassador rewards

    • Influencer engagement campaigns

    • Guild incentives and strategic partnerships

  • Ecosystem Growth:

    • Partner Grants (co-marketing, integrations)

    • Airdrop campaigns linked to TGE or milestones

    • New feature or platform onboarding incentives

Note: While many tournament loops aim to be zero-sum or near-neutral, the overall economy is not strictly zero-sum. As the ecosystem grows and adoption increases, the size and frequency of rewards distributed through the Ecosystem Pool are expected to scale proportionally. These emissions are tied to key metrics such as daily active users (DAU), retention, on-chain activity, and active Souls usage—ensuring a predictable, performance-based value cycle that reinforces engagement and long-term value creation. Controlled outflows from the Ecosystem Pool ensure sustainability while supporting this growth.
