# Value Accrual Flywheel

The table below maps platform growth events to their corresponding token mechanic and supply effect.

| Platform Growth Event               | Mechanism Activated                                     | Supply / Demand Effect                              |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| User pays subscription in $EITHER   | Subscription burn (10%)                                 | Circulating supply decreases                        |
| Marketplace transaction completed   | Marketplace fee burn (10%)                              | Circulating supply decreases                        |
| App token launched via Launchpad    | LP lock (1-5 yrs) + launchpad fee burn (20%)            | Supply locked; fees generated from same event       |
| Swaps on launched app tokens        | Locked LP earns trading fees                            | Protocol earns while supply is constrained          |
| Platform revenue grows              | Buyback and lock (up to 35% of net revenue after costs) | Open market supply tightened                        |
| Builders stake for launchpad access | Tokens removed from circulation                         | Supply reduced; demand driven by access requirement |
| Creators stake for marketplace      | Tokens removed from circulation                         | Staking demand independent of build activity        |
| Builder reputation compounds        | Sustained $EITHER engagement required                   | Long-term non-speculative demand                    |
| Creator ecosystem expands           | More marketplace transactions, more burns               | Burn surface grows with platform scale              |

> The flywheel activates on usage. Not on price. Not on new buyers. Each mechanism generates supply pressure as a direct, automatic output of platform activity.
