Monetization Model
Dynamic Token Supply Model
Kuroshio operates a flexible token supply mechanism without a fixed cap, designed to maintain the total supply below 1 billion tokens through controlled secondary issuance and burn-driven deflation.
Secondary Issuance Conditions
Burn Threshold
Secondary Issuances: Secondary tokens are issued if burned tokens exceed 5% of total allocation.
Tokens Issued ≤ Burned Tokens (B) − (0.05 × Total Allocation (T))
Treasury Depletion: Tokens are issued when the treasury balance falls below 10% of total allocation.
Tokens Issued ≤ (0.10 × T) − Treasury Balance (TB)
Total Supply Control Mechanism
Burn-Driven Deflation: Platform fees drive token burns, creating downward supply pressure.
Burn Rate (BR) = Usage (U) × Fee Rate (FR)
Reactive Issuance: Tokens are issued reactively to stabilize treasury levels or counter excessive burns.
Max Supply (S) = Initial Allocation (IA) + Issued Tokens (I) − Burned Tokens (B)
This ensures deflationary supply dynamics while maintaining growth and avoiding exceeding 1 billion tokens.
Interaction-Based Deflation Streams
Platform Interaction Fees
Token from access and transaction fees on all interactions hosted through Kuro Connect, Kuro Flow and Kuro Rush, are burned immediately to accelerate a deflation initiative as we continue to scale.
Platform Fee: 5%-15% based on staking-based tier levels.
Revenue Per Interaction = Access Fee × Platform Fee Percentage
Example: $100 access fee × 10% = $10 revenue.
Promotion-Based Deflation Streams
Each hour on the Kuroshio platform is available as a time slot for bidding, allowing users to promote themselves, their services, or their products through the platform's announcement channel. The highest bid in $KURO tokens for a given hour secures the announcement slot, and the tokens used in the winning bid are immediately burned to increase token scarcity. If no bids are placed for a particular hour, Kuroshio utilizes the slot for internal announcements or to spotlight top leaderboard participants on the platform.
