The Gravitrek economy
Dodgy Money
Dodgy Money is a reward. It is earned or awarded, and it is never sold. There are ten thousand of them, they come out slowly, and what a holder gets is advantage inside the game.
Every economy in Gravitrek has a way in. Gravi is bought. Shat is minted the moment a cat is found, to whoever found it. Deben is gold, and gold has to be dug up. Dodgy Money has no way in at all that you can pay for — it is given, by us, for something somebody did.
That is the whole definition, and everything else on this page follows from it.
The numbers
- 10,000The whole supply as it stands. Not all of them exist in anyone's hands yet.
- 250Founders’ Genesis Boxes, each with one Dodgy Money coin inside. The only allocation that is fixed.
- 0The number you can buy. There is no price, no sale and no subscription.
How they come out
Slowly, and against things that actually happen in the game. A milestone is reached, and a release follows. We have deliberately not set quotas — no group is owed a percentage, and nobody is owed one because of when they arrived.
The ways one can be earned:
- Backers. The 250 Founders’ Genesis Boxes each carry one. Those holders backed this before there was anything to see.
- Ambassadors. One of the rewards an ambassador can earn is a Dodgy Money token. Not every ambassador will get one — there are not enough for that, and it goes on what was actually done.
- Players. Through play, against milestones in the game, as those are settled.
- Contributors. People who helped build this. We keep the history of who helped and what they did, and that history is what we go on.
What a holder gets
All of it is inside the game. None of it is a financial return.
- A larger share of every reward won, found or completed in game.
- The Guardian Islands. They open to Dodgy Money trustees first, who may claim and use them — and sell or trade them on afterwards, at auction at Crypties or on the marketplace, the way land moves anywhere in Gravitrek.
- Access and priority. First call on scarce opportunities, and entry to areas and events that open to trustees before anyone else.
Holding more than one
An account can earn more than one, and a second does not double anything. The advantages are the advantages. What a second one is, is a scarce thing you can trade.
Transfer
A Dodgy Money token is transferable. The advantage follows the token, not the person: whoever holds it has the benefit, and whoever parts with it stops having it from that moment. Nothing accrues to a past holder.
What it is not
Dodgy Money is not an investment. It carries no profit share, no dividend, no revenue share and no return of any kind, and it never will. It is not sold, so there is nothing to buy in and nothing to cash out.
There is no plan to issue a token of any sort. This is a game mechanism.
Record keeping
Everything is tracked on our own ledger — who holds what, where it came from, and when it moved. The intention is to make that record public one day through a blockchain. Which one is not decided.
