    Token Economics Setup

    Ring's Philosophy: "Your platform should run on your economy." Every Ring deployment can have its own token system.

    Ring platforms are powered by token economics that align incentives, enable governance, and create sustainable value. This guide shows you how to design and launch your own token system.

    Why Token Economics Matter

    Traditional platforms:

    • Centralized control by founders/investors
    • User-generated value captured by platform
    • Limited user incentives for participation

    Ring token platforms:

    • Value created by users stays with users
    • Platform governed by token holders
    • Economic incentives drive participation
    • Sustainable long-term value creation

    Token Use Cases in Ring

    1. Opportunity Listings & Services

    • Pay to post opportunities (prevents spam)
    • Pay developers for customization work
    • Reward quality contributions with bounties

    2. Governance & Voting

    • Feature prioritization - token holders vote on roadmap
    • Parameter adjustment - community-controlled fees, limits
    • Treasury management - transparent fund allocation

    3. Staking & Rewards

    • Stake for benefits - premium features, higher visibility
    • Reward contributors - bug bounties, content creation
    • Loyalty programs - token rewards for engagement

    4. Marketplace Transactions

    • Transaction fees in tokens
    • Vendor staking requirements
    • Trust scoring based on token holdings

    Token Design Framework

    Step 1: Define Your Token's Purpose

    1

    Utility Token vs Security Token:

    Utility Token (Recommended for Ring):

    • Powers platform features
    • No expectation of profit
    • Regulatory friendly

    Security Token:

    • Represents ownership stake
    • SEC regulation applies
    • Legal complexity
    2

    Single Token vs Multi-Token:

    Single Token (Simpler):

    • One token for all functions
    • Easier to understand
    • Simpler economics

    Multi-Token (Advanced):

    • Governance token + utility tokens
    • Different vesting schedules
    • Complex but flexible

    Step 2: Token Parameters

    1

    Total Supply:

    // Example configuration

    TypeScript
    typescript
    const tokenConfig = {
        name: "MyPlatform Token",
        symbol: "MPT",
        totalSupply: 100_000_000, // 100 million tokens
        decimals: 18,
      }
    2

    Distribution Schedule:

    • Community: 40% - user rewards, airdrops
    • Development: 30% - team, future development
    • Staking Pool: 20% - rewards for staking
    • Founders: 10% - locked with vesting

    Vesting Example:

    • Founders: 4-year linear vesting
    • Development: 2-year cliff, then monthly
    • Community: Immediate distribution
    3

    Inflation/Deflation:

    Fixed Supply: No new tokens created Controlled Inflation: New tokens for staking rewards Deflationary: Burn tokens on transactions

    Smart Contract Architecture

    ERC-20 Token Contract

    1

    Deploy basic ERC-20:

    // contracts/MyToken.sol

    Solidity
    solidity
    pragma solidity ^0.8.19;
    
      import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
    
      contract MyToken is ERC20 {
          constructor(
              string memory name,
              string memory symbol,
              uint256 initialSupply
          ) ERC20(name, symbol) {
              _mint(msg.sender, initialSupply);
          }
      }
    2

    Add utility functions:

    // Burnable tokens

    Solidity
    solidity
    function burn(uint256 amount) public {
          _burn(msg.sender, amount);
      }
    
      // Pausable for emergencies
      function pause() public onlyOwner {
          _pause();
      }

    Governance Contract

    1

    Implement governance:

    // contracts/Governance.sol

    Solidity
    solidity
    contract MyGovernance {
          struct Proposal {
              uint256 id;
              string description;
              uint256 voteCount;
              bool executed;
          }
    
          mapping(address => uint256) public votingPower;
          mapping(uint256 => Proposal) public proposals;
    
          function createProposal(string memory description) public {
              // Create governance proposal
          }
    
          function vote(uint256 proposalId, bool support) public {
              // Vote on proposals
          }
      }
    2

    Connect to Ring features:

    • Opportunity posting fees
    • Feature voting
    • Parameter adjustments

    Integration with Ring Platform

    Wallet Integration

    1

    Configure token in Ring:

    Edit lib/config/token.ts:

    export const tokenConfig = {
    typescript
    name: "My Platform Token",
        symbol: "MPT",
        contractAddress: "0x1234...",
        chainId: 1, // Ethereum mainnet
        decimals: 18,
      }
    2

    Enable wallet features:

    // Enable token features

    TypeScript
    typescript
    const features = {
        tokenPayments: true,
        staking: true,
        governance: true,
        nftMarketplace: false, // Can add later
      }

    Fee Structure Configuration

    1

    Set platform fees:

    // config/fees.ts

    TypeScript
    typescript
    export const feeStructure = {
        opportunityListing: 10, // 10 tokens to post opportunity
        marketplaceTransaction: 0.01, // 1% in tokens
        premiumFeatures: 100, // Monthly premium subscription
        stakingRequirement: 50, // Minimum stake for vendors
      }
    2

    Implement fee collection:

    // lib/fees/token-fees.ts

    TypeScript
    typescript
    export async function collectListingFee(userId: string, amount: number) {
        // Transfer tokens from user to platform treasury
        await walletService.transfer({
          from: userId,
          to: TREASURY_ADDRESS,
          amount,
          token: 'MPT'
        });
      }

    Staking System Setup

    Staking Contract

    1

    Create staking contract:

    // contracts/Staking.sol

    Solidity
    solidity
    contract Staking {
          mapping(address => uint256) public stakedBalance;
          mapping(address => uint256) public stakingTimestamp;
    
          function stake(uint256 amount) public {
              require(amount > 0, "Cannot stake 0");
              // Transfer tokens to contract
              token.transferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), amount);
              stakedBalance[msg.sender] += amount;
              stakingTimestamp[msg.sender] = block.timestamp;
          }
    
          function unstake(uint256 amount) public {
              require(stakedBalance[msg.sender] >= amount, "Insufficient stake");
              // Return tokens
              token.transfer(msg.sender, amount);
              stakedBalance[msg.sender] -= amount;
          }
      }
    2

    Rewards distribution:

    Solidity
    solidity
    function distributeRewards() public onlyOwner {
    // Calculate and distribute staking rewards
        for (address staker : stakers) {
          uint256 reward = calculateReward(staker);
          token.mint(staker, reward);
        }
      }

    Staking Benefits Configuration

    1

    Define staking tiers:

    // config/staking.ts

    TypeScript
    typescript
    export const stakingTiers = [
        {
          minStake: 0,
          name: "Basic",
          benefits: ["Basic listings", "Standard support"]
        },
        {
          minStake: 100,
          name: "Premium",
          benefits: ["Priority listings", "Advanced analytics", "Premium support"]
        },
        {
          minStake: 1000,
          name: "Elite",
          benefits: ["Featured listings", "Custom branding", "Dedicated support"]
        }
      ]
    2

    Implement benefit checks:

    // lib/staking/benefits.ts

    TypeScript
    typescript
    export async function getUserBenefits(userId: string) {
        const stakeAmount = await stakingService.getStake(userId);
        return stakingTiers.find(tier => stakeAmount >= tier.minStake);
      }

    Launch Strategy

    Phase 1: Token Deployment

    1

    Deploy to testnet first:

    Deploy to Sepolia testnet

    terminal
    bash
    npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network sepolia
    2

    Test all functions:

    • Token transfers
    • Staking/unstaking
    • Fee collection
    • Governance voting
    3

    Audit smart contracts:

    Hire professional audit firm before mainnet deployment.

    4

    Deploy to mainnet:

    terminal
    bash
    # npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network mainnet

    Phase 2: Community Distribution

    1

    Airdrop to early users:

    // scripts/airdrop.ts

    TypeScript
    typescript
    const earlyUsers = [
        '0x1234...',
        '0x5678...',
        // Early platform users
      ];
    
      for (const user of earlyUsers) {
        await token.transfer(user, 1000); // 1000 tokens each
      }
    2

    Liquidity provision:

    Provide initial liquidity on Uniswap or similar DEX.

    3

    Staking incentives:

    Reward early stakers with bonus tokens.

    Phase 3: Feature Activation

    1

    Enable basic features:

    Start with opportunity listing fees and basic staking.

    2

    Gradual rollout:

    Enable advanced features as community grows:

    • Governance voting
    • Advanced staking rewards
    • Marketplace integration
    3

    Community governance:

    Let token holders decide on future features and parameters.

    Burn Mechanisms

    // Burn tokens on certain actions

    TypeScript
    typescript
    export async function burnOnTransaction(amount: number, percentage: number) {
    const burnAmount = (amount * percentage) / 100;
    await token.burn(burnAmount);
    return amount - burnAmount; // Return remaining to recipient
    }

    Treasury Management

    // Treasury contract for community funds

    TypeScript
    typescript
    contract CommunityTreasury {
    function proposeSpend(
      address recipient,
      uint256 amount,
      string memory reason
    ) public {
      // Create spending proposal for community vote
    }
    
    function executeSpend(uint256 proposalId) public {
      // Execute approved spending
    }
    }

    Legal Considerations

    Important: Token launches have legal implications. Consult legal experts.

    Regulatory Compliance

    • Utility token classification - Focus on platform utility, not investment
    • KYC/AML - Consider for large transactions
    • Tax implications - Users may owe taxes on token income
    • Jurisdiction - Choose appropriate legal structure

    Documentation Requirements

    • Tokenomics paper - Explain economics clearly
    • Smart contract audits - Professional security review
    • Terms of service - Clear user agreements
    • Risk disclosures - Transparent about volatility risks

    Success Metrics

    Economic Health Indicators

    • Token velocity - How quickly tokens circulate
    • Holder distribution - Avoid whale concentration
    • Staking ratio - Percentage of tokens staked
    • Transaction volume - Daily/weekly token usage
    • Treasury growth - Sustainable funding accumulation

    Community Engagement

    • Active holders - Regular token users
    • Governance participation - Voting turnout
    • Development activity - GitHub contributions

    distribution: {
      community: 0.5,      // 50% - immediate distribution
      development: 0.2,     // 20% - 4-year vesting
      staking: 0.2,         // 20% - rewards pool
      treasury: 0.1,        // 10% - community treasury
    },
    features: {
      governance: true,
      staking: true,
      fees: 'low',          // Minimal fees
      burns: true,          // Transaction burns
    }
    }

    Enterprise Token

    const enterpriseToken = {
    typescript
    totalSupply: 100_000_000,
    distribution: {
      enterprise: 0.4,      // 40% - company control
      employees: 0.2,       // 20% - team incentives
      partners: 0.2,        // 20% - ecosystem partners
      community: 0.2,       // 20% - user rewards
    },
    features: {
      governance: 'limited', // Company retains control
      staking: true,
      fees: 'market',        // Market-rate fees

    • Founders: 4-year linear vesting
    • Development: 2-year cliff, then monthly
    • Community: Immediate distribution
    3

    Inflation/Deflation:

    Fixed Supply: No new tokens created Controlled Inflation: New tokens for staking rewards Deflationary: Burn tokens on transactions

    Smart Contract Architecture

    ERC-20 Token Contract

    1

    Deploy basic ERC-20:

    // contracts/MyToken.sol

    Solidity
    solidity
    pragma solidity ^0.8.19;
    
      import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
    
      contract MyToken is ERC20 {
          constructor(
              string memory name,
              string memory symbol,
              uint256 initialSupply
          ) ERC20(name, symbol) {
              _mint(msg.sender, initialSupply);
          }
      }
    2

      string memory reason
    ) public {
      // Create spending proposal for community vote
    }
    
    function executeSpend(uint256 proposalId) public {
      // Execute approved spending
    }
    }

    Legal Considerations

    Important: Token launches have legal implications. Consult legal experts.

    Regulatory Compliance

    • Utility token classification - Focus on platform utility, not investment
    • KYC/AML - Consider for large transactions
    • Tax implications - Users may owe taxes on token income
    • Jurisdiction - Choose appropriate legal structure

    Documentation Requirements

    • Tokenomics paper - Explain economics clearly
    • Smart contract audits - Professional security review
    • Terms of service - Clear user agreements
    • Risk disclosures - Transparent about volatility risks

    Success Metrics

    Economic Health Indicators

    • Token velocity - How quickly tokens circulate
    • Holder distribution - Avoid whale concentration
    • Staking ratio - Percentage of tokens staked
    • Transaction volume - Daily/weekly token usage
    • Treasury growth - Sustainable funding accumulation

    Community Engagement

    • Active holders - Regular token users
    • Governance participation - Voting turnout
    • Development activity - GitHub contributions

    Token Economics Setup

    Ring's Philosophy: "Your platform should run on your economy." Every Ring deployment can have its own token system.

    Ring platforms are powered by token economics that align incentives, enable governance, and create sustainable value. This guide shows you how to design and launch your own token system.

    Why Token Economics Matter

    Traditional platforms:

    • Centralized control by founders/investors
    • User-generated value captured by platform
    • Limited user incentives for participation

    Ring token platforms:

    • Value created by users stays with users
    • Platform governed by token holders
    • Economic incentives drive participation
    • Sustainable long-term value creation

    Token Use Cases in Ring

    1. Opportunity Listings & Services

    • Pay to post opportunities (prevents spam)
    • Pay developers for customization work
    • Reward quality contributions with bounties

    2. Governance & Voting

    • Feature prioritization - token holders vote on roadmap
    • Parameter adjustment - community-controlled fees, limits
    • Treasury management - transparent fund allocation

    3. Staking & Rewards

    • Stake for benefits - premium features, higher visibility
    • Reward contributors - bug bounties, content creation
    • Loyalty programs - token rewards for engagement

    4. Marketplace Transactions

    • Transaction fees in tokens
    • Vendor staking requirements
    • Trust scoring based on token holdings

    Token Design Framework

    Step 1: Define Your Token's Purpose

    1

    Utility Token vs Security Token:

    Utility Token (Recommended for Ring):

    • Powers platform features
    • No expectation of profit
    • Regulatory friendly

    Security Token:

    • Represents ownership stake
    • SEC regulation applies
    • Legal complexity
    2

    Single Token vs Multi-Token:

    Single Token (Simpler):

    • One token for all functions
    • Easier to understand
    • Simpler economics

    Multi-Token (Advanced):

    • Governance token + utility tokens
    • Different vesting schedules
    • Complex but flexible

    Step 2: Token Parameters

    1

    Total Supply:

    // Example configuration

    TypeScript
    typescript
    const tokenConfig = {
        name: "MyPlatform Token",
        symbol: "MPT",
        totalSupply: 100_000_000, // 100 million tokens
        decimals: 18,
      }
    2

    Distribution Schedule:

    • Community: 40% - user rewards, airdrops
    • Development: 30% - team, future development
    • Staking Pool: 20% - rewards for staking
    • Founders: 10% - locked with vesting

    Vesting Example:

    • Founders: 4-year linear vesting
    • Development: 2-year cliff, then monthly
    • Community: Immediate distribution
    3

    Inflation/Deflation:

    Fixed Supply: No new tokens created Controlled Inflation: New tokens for staking rewards Deflationary: Burn tokens on transactions

              uint256 voteCount;
              bool executed;
          }
    
          mapping(address => uint256) public votingPower;
          mapping(uint256 => Proposal) public proposals;
    
          function createProposal(string memory description) public {
              // Create governance proposal
          }
    
          function vote(uint256 proposalId, bool support) public {

    export async function getUserBenefits(userId: string) {
        const stakeAmount = await stakingService.getStake(userId);
        return stakingTiers.find(tier => stakeAmount >= tier.minStake);
      }

    Launch Strategy

    Phase 1: Token Deployment

    1

    Deploy to testnet first:

    Deploy to Sepolia testnet

    terminal
    bash
    npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network sepolia
    2

    Test all functions:

    • Token transfers
    • Staking/unstaking
    • Fee collection
    • Governance voting
    3

    Audit smart contracts:

    Hire professional audit firm before mainnet deployment.

    4

    Deploy to mainnet:

    terminal
    bash
    # npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network mainnet

    Phase 2: Community Distribution

    1

    Airdrop to early users:

    // scripts/airdrop.ts

    TypeScript
    typescript
    const earlyUsers = [
        '0x1234...',
        '0x5678...',
        // Early platform users
      ];
    
      for (const user of earlyUsers) {
        await token.transfer(user, 1000); // 1000 tokens each
      }
    2

    Liquidity provision:

    Provide initial liquidity on Uniswap or similar DEX.

    3

    Staking incentives:

    Reward early stakers with bonus tokens.

    Phase 3: Feature Activation

    1

    Enable basic features:

    Start with opportunity listing fees and basic staking.

    2

    Gradual rollout:

    Enable advanced features as community grows:

    • Governance voting
    • Advanced staking rewards
    • Marketplace integration
    3

    Community governance:

    Let token holders decide on future features and parameters.

    Burn Mechanisms

    // Burn tokens on certain actions

    TypeScript
    typescript
    export async function burnOnTransaction(amount: number, percentage: number) {
    const burnAmount = (amount * percentage) / 100;
    await token.burn(burnAmount);
    return amount - burnAmount; // Return remaining to recipient
    }

    Treasury Management

    // Treasury contract for community funds

    TypeScript
    typescript
    contract CommunityTreasury {
    function proposeSpend(
      address recipient,
      uint256 amount,
      string memory reason
    ) public {
      // Create spending proposal for community vote
    }
    
    function executeSpend(uint256 proposalId) public {
      // Execute approved spending
    }
    }

    Legal Considerations

    Important: Token launches have legal implications. Consult legal experts.

    Regulatory Compliance

    • Utility token classification - Focus on platform utility, not investment
    • KYC/AML - Consider for large transactions
    • Tax implications - Users may owe taxes on token income
    • Jurisdiction - Choose appropriate legal structure

    Documentation Requirements

    • Tokenomics paper - Explain economics clearly
    • Smart contract audits - Professional security review
    • Terms of service - Clear user agreements
    • Risk disclosures - Transparent about volatility risks

    Success Metrics

    Economic Health Indicators

    • Token velocity - How quickly tokens circulate
    • Holder distribution - Avoid whale concentration
    • Staking ratio - Percentage of tokens staked
    • Transaction volume - Daily/weekly token usage
    • Treasury growth - Sustainable funding accumulation

    Community Engagement

    • Active holders - Regular token users
    • Governance participation - Voting turnout
    • Development activity - GitHub contributions
    • Ecosystem growth - New projects using your token
