A Dynamic Fee System

The Ludopoly token economy is built around a dynamic pricing formula that ensures room entry fees reflect the nature of each session. A base fee is multiplied by factors that account for whether a room is public or private and how long the session is expected to run. This formula makes room pricing transparent and predictable, and it scales naturally with the value of any given session.

Private rooms command a premium over public rooms, which compensates the room owner for the exclusivity they are providing. Sessions that run for extended periods carry higher total fees than short sessions, but the per-unit cost decreases with duration to incentivise committed participation. Room extensions are available at a discount relative to the original entry fee, though each extension carries a progressively larger surcharge to prevent indefinite session monopolisation.

Token Utility

The platform's native token is the currency of the room economy. It pays entry fees, funds card purchases, covers marketplace transactions, and participates in governance. The token is the connective tissue of the ecosystem's value flows, from room owners earning session revenue and score bonuses, to card traders capturing rarity premiums, to winners receiving Treasury NFTs alongside token allocations.

Revenue Distribution

The platform's revenues flow through several channels. NFT sales and card purchases represent the primary income stream. Tournament entry fees form a secondary stream that is largely recycled into the competitive community. Marketplace transaction fees provide a recurring revenue base that grows with the trading activity of the player population. This multi-channel revenue model ensures that the platform's sustainability does not depend excessively on any single source of income.

Long-Term Governance of Economics

The economic parameters of the platform — base fees, rarity drop rates, tournament prize structures — are ultimately subject to governance by the DAO. As the community matures and accumulates the experience needed to make informed decisions about game balance and economic sustainability, the expectation is that these parameters will increasingly reflect community preferences rather than founding team defaults.
