Incentive Design

The Reddio incentive structure is built around balanced economic flows that ensure each stakeholder group is rewarded in proportion to their contribution. The design focuses on both inflows (faucets) and outflows (sinks), ensuring sustainable token velocity and long-term economic health.

Faucets (Token Distribution Mechanisms)

1. Mining Rewards: Validators receive RDO for mining reward, ensuring computational participation and uptime.
2. Transaction Fees: A portion of fees collected from network activity is shared with validators and stakers.
3. Staking Rewards: Distributed from network profits to users who stake $RDO.
4. Ecosystem Grants: Provided to developers and ecosystem builders to support innovation.

Sinks (Token Consumption Mechanisms)

1. Transaction Fees: Users spend RDO as gas to interact with contracts or perform transactions.
2. Burn Mechanism: Up to 20% of collected transaction fees are permanently removed from circulation.
3. Staking Lockups: Temporarily reduce liquid supply, contributing to token scarcity.
4. Governance: Proposals or votes require token deposits, further incentivizing long-term commitment.

Balancing Faucets and Sinks

The equilibrium between faucets and sinks within the Reddio ecosystem is fundamental to sustaining a dynamic and healthy token economy. Faucets—such as staking rewards, validator block rewards, and ecosystem grants—drive engagement by distributing $RDO to participants. Sinks—including transaction fees, the burn program, and staking lockups—reduce circulating supply and incentivize long-term utility.

This interplay supports sustainable token value by ensuring that rewards are matched with mechanisms that manage inflation and enhance utility. The Reddio ecosystem continuously assesses this balance, using on-chain data and community governance to fine-tune incentives. This approach fosters a robust economy that can support user growth, protocol expansion, and long-term token appreciation.

Token Supply Dynamics in the Reddio Ecosystem

To preserve long-term economic stability and prevent excessive inflation, Reddio implements a structured token supply strategy:

• Fixed Initial Supply: RDO is issued with a capped initial supply to establish transparent token economics and limit dilution risk. This ensures a sound baseline for economic modeling and investor confidence.
• Scheduled Emissions: $RDO token emissions will follow a predefined schedule, gradually decreasing over time, similar to Bitcoin's halving events. This reduction in the rate of new token issuance introduces deflationary pressure as the platform grows, supporting long-term value appreciation for $RDO holders.
• Burn Program: A fixed portion (up to 20%) of transaction fees is allocated to token burning. Burn transactions are on-chain and publicly verifiable, directly reducing circulating supply and supporting value per token.
• Staking: RDO staking involves time-locked commitments that temporarily reduce circulating supply, contributing to short-term scarcity and network health metrics like TVL. The lock-up mechanism incentivizes longer-term network alignment by offering staking rewards to those who help secure and stabilize the platform through PoA.
