Token Economics

The Graso platform will utilize a native utility token to power various aspects of its ecosystem, incentivizing users, facilitating transactions, and promoting decentralized governance. The design of the token economy is integral to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the platform while offering users opportunities to earn, invest, and participate in the growth of the Graso ecosystem.

1. Token Utility

Graso’s native token, referred to as GRA (Graso Asset Token), will serve multiple functions within the platform:

  • Investment Mechanism: GRA will be used to invest in tokenized real estate assets on the platform. Investors can use GRA to buy fractional ownership in properties, allowing them to participate in real estate investments with smaller capital requirements.

  • Crowdfunding for Developers: Developers seeking to raise funds for new projects can do so through Graso's crowdfunding mechanism. GRA tokens will be used to contribute to these crowdfunding campaigns, ensuring that developers can quickly raise capital from a broad base of smaller investors.

  • Transaction Fees: All transactions within the platform, including property purchases, rentals, and secondary market trades, will incur a small transaction fee payable in GRA tokens. This creates a continuous demand for the token as the platform scales.

  • Staking & Rewards: Users will be able to stake their GRA tokens to earn rewards, participate in platform governance, and access premium services. Staking will also allow users to participate in liquidity pools, contributing to the overall liquidity of the platform’s secondary market.

  • Platform Governance: GRA token holders will have voting rights in key governance decisions such as platform updates, new feature implementation, and changes to tokenomics. This gives the community a voice in shaping the future of the Graso platform.

  • Incentives for Property Owners: Property owners and developers can receive GRA tokens as an incentive for listing their properties on the platform and offering rental or purchase options to investors. This incentivizes the supply side of the marketplace.

2. Token Allocation

The total supply of GRA tokens will be pre-determined and distributed strategically to ensure a balanced ecosystem that rewards early adopters while providing enough liquidity for platform growth. Below is a proposed allocation model:

Team & Advisors

15%

Allocated to the founding team, developers, and advisors with a vesting schedule to ensure long-term commitment.

Development Fund

10%

Reserved for ongoing platform development, future innovations, and feature expansions.

Partnerships & Marketing

10%

Used to establish partnerships, fuel marketing campaigns, and expand user acquisition.

Reserve Fund

10%

A contingency fund for unforeseen events, security issues, or future platform initiatives.

3. Token Sale Structure

To raise funds for platform development and growth, Graso will conduct a token sale in multiple phases:

  • Private Sale: A portion of GRA tokens will be allocated for early investors, partners, and strategic stakeholders. This phase will provide the necessary seed capital for platform development.

  • Public Sale (ICO): The public will have an opportunity to purchase GRA tokens during an initial coin offering (ICO). Funds raised in this phase will be used for platform scaling, marketing, and operational expenses.

  • Vesting Schedule: Team and advisor tokens will follow a vesting schedule to ensure long-term alignment with the project’s success. For example, tokens allocated to the team may have a 12-24 month vesting period with monthly or quarterly releases.

4. Token Emission & Burn

To maintain a healthy token economy and prevent inflation, Graso will implement a token burn mechanism:

  • Token Burn: A portion of the transaction fees collected in GRA tokens will be periodically burned, reducing the total token supply over time. This deflationary mechanism helps maintain the value of the token and rewards long-term holders.

  • Emission Control: New GRA tokens will not be minted once the initial supply has been distributed. This ensures that the token remains deflationary, providing scarcity that can contribute to value appreciation as demand for the platform grows.

5. Staking & Yield Farming

GRA token holders will have the option to stake their tokens within the platform, enabling them to earn passive rewards. Staking provides multiple benefits to users and the platform:

  • Staking Pools: Users can stake their tokens in various pools, each offering different rewards based on the amount of tokens staked and the duration of the stake.

  • Yield Farming: To encourage liquidity in the platform’s secondary market, Graso will offer yield farming opportunities where users can provide liquidity and earn additional GRA tokens as rewards.

  • Governance Participation: Stakers will be able to vote on governance proposals and help shape the future direction of the platform, ensuring that the community remains engaged and empowered.

6. Liquidity & Secondary Market

The success of Graso’s token economy hinges on the liquidity of the GRA token, particularly in the secondary real estate market. Key liquidity strategies include:

  • Liquidity Pool Incentives: To ensure that the GRA token remains liquid, users will be incentivized to contribute to liquidity pools. These pools will facilitate trading on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and the Graso marketplace.

  • Property Token Liquidity: As real estate assets are tokenized and fractionalized, liquidity pools will allow investors to trade these property-backed tokens seamlessly, providing an easy entry and exit mechanism for investors.

  • Buyback Program: Graso will implement a buyback program where a portion of platform profits is used to repurchase GRA tokens from the market, further increasing scarcity and maintaining token value.

7. Long-Term Sustainability

Graso’s token economics are designed with long-term sustainability in mind:

  • Deflationary Mechanism: The token burn process ensures that the supply of GRA tokens decreases over time, creating a deflationary model that benefits long-term holders and stakers.

  • Utility Expansion: As the platform grows, additional utilities for GRA tokens will be introduced, including access to exclusive properties, premium investor services, and governance roles.

  • Community Growth: The token economy is designed to empower the Graso community, ensuring that active participants who contribute to the platform’s growth—whether through staking, liquidity provision, or governance—are rewarded proportionally.
