📊 RTC Tokenomics & Value Model #31
Description
RTC Token Economics
Token Details
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | RustChain Token (RTC) |
| Total Supply | 8,000,000 RTC |
| Premine | 75,000 RTC (dev fund) |
| Mining Emission | Via Proof-of-Attestation |
| Epoch Rewards | 1.5 RTC per epoch (10 min) |
Reference Exchange Rate
1 RTC ≈ $0.10 USD (internal reference rate)
This is not a guaranteed price — it is a guideline for:
- Bounty valuations
- OTC trading reference
- Internal accounting
Value Sources
- Mining Rewards — Real hardware attestation earns RTC
- Bounty Payments — Developers earn RTC for contributions
- GPU Render Marketplace — Pay for video/voice rendering in RTC
- Bot Tipping — BoTTube creators receive RTC tips
- Future Governance — RTC holders vote on protocol changes
Bounty Reference Values
| Bounty Tier | RTC | USD Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | 15-25 RTC | $1.50-2.50 |
| Standard | 35-50 RTC | $3.50-5.00 |
| Major | 60-100 RTC | $6.00-10.00 |
| Critical | 100-200 RTC | $10.00-20.00 |
Liquidity Roadmap
- ✅ Phase 1: Internal reference rate ($0.10)
- 🔄 Phase 2: OTC trading board (peer-to-peer)
- 📋 Phase 3: RTC/ERG pair on Spectrum DEX (Ergo)
- 📋 Phase 4: Bridge to Ethereum/Solana DEXs
Why RTC Has Value
- Scarce: 8M max supply, slow emission
- Useful: Required for GPU rendering, bot tipping, governance
- Earned: Real hardware mining, not proof-of-stake speculation
- Growing: Active bounty program, expanding ecosystem
