Key Features

🚀 5-Year Accelerated Rewards

Unlike typical projects that distribute rewards over 20-30 years, 8-Bit Arcade uses a player-first approach:

  • 150M tokens distributed over 5 years

  • 30M tokens/year in player rewards

  • Front-loaded distribution maximizes early earnings

  • Players benefit NOW, not decades later

🔥 Deflationary Model

50% of all tournament entry fees are burned, permanently reducing supply:

  1. Players pay tournament fees in 8BIT tokens

  2. 50% of entry fees sent to burn address (permanently removed)

  3. Remaining 50% funds prize pools

  4. Winner receives prize pool in 8BIT tokens

Effect: As adoption grows, circulating supply decreases, potentially increasing token value.

💎 Deep Liquidity

60M tokens (12% of supply) allocated to DEX liquidity:

  • $30K value at presale price

  • Locked on Uniswap V3 for 3+ years

  • Creates deep trading pool

  • Minimizes slippage for large trades

  • Professional launch vs typical micro-cap projects

📊 Ultra-Low Inflation

  • Monthly emissions: 2.5M tokens (0.50% of supply)

  • Annual inflation: 6% (Year 1-5 only)

  • After Year 5: Zero new emissions from rewards pool

  • Much lower than typical GameFi projects (15-30% annually)

Token Utility

Primary Uses

  1. Tournament Entry Fees - Pay-to-enter competitive tournaments

  2. Prize Payouts - Win 8BIT tokens for top rankings

  3. Staking Rewards (Future) - Stake to earn passive income

  4. Governance (Future) - Vote on game additions and parameters

  5. NFT Badges (Future) - Unlock exclusive achievement NFTs

Value Drivers

  • Player Demand - Need tokens to enter high-prize tournaments

  • Buyback & Burn - Constant buy pressure + supply reduction

  • Scarcity - Fixed max supply, decreasing circulation

  • Utility - Real use case from day one, not speculation

  • Network Effects - More players = more tournaments = more burns

Automated Infrastructure

Treasury Gas Manager

8-Bit Arcade uses an automated Treasury Gas Manager to ensure sustainable token distribution:

  • Self-Sustaining - 1 ETH deposit funds ~2-3 years of operations

  • Zero Manual Intervention - Automatic refills when needed

  • Minimal Cost - ~$75/year to distribute 30M 8BIT annually

  • Full Automation - Makes daily rewards truly automatic

Cost Efficiency: Less than 0.025% of emissions value at $5M market cap
