📊 RTC Tokenomics & Value Model

[Scottcjn]

RTC Token Economics

Token Details

Property	Value
Name	RustChain Token (RTC)
Total Supply	8,000,000 RTC
Premine	75,000 RTC (dev fund)
Mining Emission	Via Proof of Antiquity
Epoch Rewards	1.5 RTC per epoch (10 min)

Reference Exchange Rate

1 RTC ≈ $0.10 USD (internal reference rate)

This is not a guaranteed price — it is a guideline for:

• Bounty valuations
• OTC trading reference
• Internal accounting

Value Sources

1. Mining Rewards — Real hardware attestation earns RTC
2. Bounty Payments — Developers earn RTC for contributions
3. GPU Render Marketplace — Pay for video/voice rendering in RTC
4. Bot Tipping — BoTTube creators receive RTC tips
5. Future Governance — RTC holders vote on protocol changes

Bounty Reference Values

Bounty Tier	RTC	USD Equivalent
Micro	15-25 RTC	$1.50-2.50
Standard	35-50 RTC	$3.50-5.00
Major	60-100 RTC	$6.00-10.00
Critical	100-200 RTC	$10.00-20.00

Liquidity Roadmap

1. ✅ Phase 1: Internal reference rate ($0.10)
2. 🔄 Phase 2: OTC trading board (peer-to-peer)
3. 📋 Phase 3: RTC/ERG pair on Spectrum DEX (Ergo)
4. 📋 Phase 4: Bridge to Ethereum/Solana DEXs

Why RTC Has Value

• Scarce: 8M max supply, slow emission
• Useful: Required for GPU rendering, bot tipping, governance
• Earned: Real hardware mining, not proof-of-stake speculation
• Growing: Active bounty program, expanding ecosystem
