ETHBLOX Protocol
Understanding the economics and mechanics of the ETHBLOX universe.
Core Concepts
BLOX: Digital Matter
BLOX is the fundamental building material of ETHBLOX. It follows conservation laws:
- No Burning: BLOX cannot be destroyed, only transformed
- Locked in Builds: When used, BLOX is temporarily removed from circulation
- Released on Destruction: Breaking a build returns BLOX (minus 20% entropy fee)
Builder Weight (BW)
Your reputation score, calculated as:
BW = log(1 + mass) × log(2 + uniqueColors)Where:
- mass = total number of blocks
- uniqueColors = color diversity
Matter Locking Ratio (MLR)
MLR = totalBloxLocked / circulatingSupplyHigh MLR = healthy creative economy with supply scarcity.
Economic Mechanics
Licence System
To use special moulds (BRICKS), you pay a licence fee:
cost = basePrice × (1 + k × sqrt(usageCount))This creates dynamic pricing based on demand.
Fee Distribution
- 70% to mould creator (perpetual royalty)
- 20% to BLOX/ETH liquidity pool
- 10% to protocol treasury
Supply Dynamics
BLOX has a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens with daily emissions rewarding builders.
Emission Schedule
- Phase 1 (Year 1): 10,000 BLOX/day
- Phase 2 (Year 2-3): 5,000 BLOX/day
- Phase 3 (Year 4+): 2,500 BLOX/day
Emissions halve every 2 years, approaching zero asymptotically.
