The tokenomics for the upcoming $KOIN token have been revealed, and so has the ecosystem whitepaper for the Khuga IP

This token is designed to power the Khugaverse gaming ecosystem and to help expand the IP, while fueling gameplay features, trading, and more web3-related mechanics.

The $KOIN token is an upcoming Base-powered token for the Khuga ecosystem (which you can find referred to as the Khugaverse). This token is designed to help expand the IP, while fueling gameplay features, trading, and more web3-related mechanics. It will be integrated across all products developed by Khuga Labs in order to keep the ecosystem interconnected while building a rewarding economic model for players, NFT holders, and partners as well.

According to the first version of the ecosystem whitepaper, published shortly after tokenomics were revealed, other utility you can expect from this token include governance, staking, and incentive distribution, which means that some percentage of ecosystem revenue will go back to the community in the form of the $KOIN token. Players will use the cryptocurrency for in-game purchases, as well as to make marketplace transactions and unlock access to ecosystem services.

What Does the Khuga $KOIN Tokenomics Reveal?

According to the current tokenomics, $KOIN is set to have a total supply of 1 billion, distributed across the following categories, from highest to lowest allocation: Khugaverse Ecosystem (37% of total supply), Presale + Public (30%), Khugaverse NFT Holders (10%), Team (7%), Treasury (6%), Liquidity Pools (5%), Marketing (2.5%), and Community Partners (2.5%).

Here are more details on each category, officially published in the whitepaper:

Presale + Public (30%) – Funds raised via presale and public sale will go towards various ecosystem development needs.

Khugaverse NFT Holders (10%) – The NFT collection is an important part of the broader ecosystem, and to reward early supporters, 10% of the total $KOIN supply will be distributed to NFT holders through a dedicated staking program.

Team (7%) – The team tokens will be released over a period of four years in a vesting plan, used to compensate and incentivize core team members.

Treasury (6%) – The treasury will be used to make strategic investments in promising Web3 projects, and to support the development of the broader Khugaverse ecosystem.

Liquidity Pools (5%) – At TGE, a portion of the tokens will be allocated to major DEX liquidity pools to facilitate seamless token trading.

Marketing (2.5%) – The team will use these tokens to execute creative marketing campaigns and build strong community engagement.

Community Partners (2.5%) – These tokens will be allocated to valuable partnerships with gaming guilds, DAOs, and other Web3 projects.

What Is the $KOIN Token Roadmap?

The $KOIN roadmap does not include any timeframes, but instead features a 3-phase rollout plan. The first phase is all about token deployment and staking, so once $KOIN launches on Base, NFT holders can look forward to seeing NFT staking rewards, while token holders can expect to see an initial staking mechanism introduced. We then move onto the second phase, where the goal will be to introduce cross-game asset utility, launch in-game rewards in Khuga Rumble Arena and Khuga Bash!, but also to add in the $KOIN token as the main currency of Miawwhalla, which is the IP’s core platform, a gamified hub that connects the entire Khugaverse ecosystem. For the third and final phase, the developers will look to expand incentive distribution mechanisms, introduce DAO governance to enable ecosystem decisions, expand IP development into media and merchandising, and foster partnerships with various blockchain projects and gaming guilds.
