πŸ“˜ Economic Philosophy

Rogue AI’s economic architecture is built on principles of sustainability, liquidity strength, and adaptive deflation. Everything is engineered to scale safely, withstand volatility, and reward long-term participants without ever relying on inflation.

This chapter explains the core philosophy behind the system and the rules that govern movement between economic phases.


2.1 Core Philosophy

Rogue AI tokenomics follow three guiding principles:


1. Capital Weighted Reward Design

Participants who contribute more capital or infrastructure must receive higher rewards.

  • Nodes require high capital β†’ premium rewards

  • Stakers require low capital β†’ strong but subordinate rewards

  • Treasury & team require stable funding β†’ top priority

Thus, rewards always follow the hierarchy:

Treasury β†’ Node Operators β†’ Stakers

This prevents misaligned incentives and ensures the protocol remains healthy at all scales.


2. Liquidity First Sustainability

Liquidity depth is the backbone of a safe token economy.

The system prioritizes:

  • High Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL)

  • Zero buybacks in early phases

  • Controlled deflation only after liquidity is strong

  • Lowest slippage possible

  • Long-term liquidity reinforcement

Without liquidity, buybacks cause instability; with liquidity, they strengthen the token.


3. Phase Based Approach

The economy evolves based on conditions.

  • Early stage β†’ stability & liquidity

  • Growth stage β†’ controlled buybacks

  • Mature stage β†’ strong deflation

Phase transitions occur only when economic health indicators are met. This ensures the system never becomes deflationary too early or too aggressively.


2.2 Why Phase Based Tokenomics Are Superior

Most tokenomics fail because they’re rigid, time based, or inflation based.

Rogue AI avoids these failures by ensuring:

  • No inflation

  • No emissions (except capped micro emissions)

  • No arbitrary unlock schedules

  • No forced buybacks during low liquidity

  • No premature deflation

Every action is based on economic readiness.

2.4 Phase Trigger Conditions

Phase transitions include safeguards to prevent instability, hyper deflation, or liquidity collapse.

These rules ensure transitions only happen under safe, sustainable conditions.


Phase 1 β†’ Phase 2 Transition Conditions

All must be true:

POL Depth β‰₯ $10,000,000 to $15,000,000
Revenue Stability β‰₯ 3 consecutive months
Treasury Runway β‰₯ 12 months (post expense)
Circulating Supply β‰₯ 50% of total supply

Purpose

  • Avoid buybacks with weak liquidity

  • Ensure operational maturity

  • Prevent early deflation

  • Ensure enough tokens remain circulating


Phase 2 β†’ Phase 3 Transition Conditions

All must be true:

POL β‰₯ $20,000,000
Buyback Slippage < 1%
Treasury at or near 10% supply cap
Revenue Growth β‰₯ 2 consecutive months
Circulating Supply β‰₯ 30%

Critical Safeguard

If circulating supply is below 30%, Phase 3 activation is BLOCKED β†’ prevents premature hyper-deflation β†’ ensures liquidity remains healthy

2.6 Why These Triggers Matter

These rules protect the system from:

1. Premature Buybacks

Without deep liquidity, buybacks can cause:

  • huge price spikes

  • dangerous volatility

  • unstable slippage

2. Hyper Deflation

Circulating supply protection stops the ecosystem from choking itself.

3. Underfunded Treasury

Phase transitions always ensure:

  • 12 month runway

  • operational stability

  • sustainable long-term economics

4. Buyback Inefficiency

If slippage is >1%, buybacks waste capital.

5. Node/Staker Misalignment

High circurlation supply ensures rewards remain meaningful and not distorted.


2.7 Summary

Rogue AI’s economic philosophy is built on:

  • Liquidity first

  • Revenue backed rewards

  • Adaptive deflation

  • Capital weighted incentives

  • Safe transition thresholds

  • Long term ecosystem sustainability

Phase progression always protects the protocol and amplifies long-term holder value.
