Economy

§5.1

WAGE Supply

WAGE is the soft in-game currency. Hard cap: 500000000 WAGE. In-game WAGE is not a Hive Engine token until exported. Supply is enforced cumulatively by the export pipeline.

§5.2

HIVE Flows

HIVE is the hard currency and flows on-chain. Deposits are credited from any Hive transfer to @taxed. Withdrawals are capped at 3 per user per rolling 24-hour window.

§5.3

WAGE Accrual

Staked Workers accrue WAGE at the per-Worker daily rate derived from the pool breakpoints. Accrual is credited at every hourly pool tick (UTC).

§5.4

WAGE Export

Export in-game WAGE to the Hive Engine WAGE token. Maximum 1000 WAGE per transaction. Export fee is 5% burn — the burned portion reduces future supply permanently.

§5.5

Burn Mechanics

Every export transaction burns a percentage of the amount. Cumulative burn is tracked and published; the design is deflationary, not inflationary.

§5.6

Gen 1 Burn

Gen 1 minting costs WAGE at quartile tiers (2000 / 4000 / 8000 / 16000 WAGE). The paid WAGE is burned, further reducing supply.
