Economy

§5.1

WAGE Supply

WAGE is the soft in-game currency, partner. Hard cap: 500000000 WAGE. In-game WAGE ain't a Hive Engine token till y'all export it. The supply's enforced cumulatively by the export pipeline.

§5.2

HIVE Flows

HIVE is the hard currency and it flows on-chain. Deposits gits credited from any Hive transfer ta @taxed. Withdrawals are capped at 3 per user per rollin' 24-hour window — that's the law.

§5.3

WAGE Accrual

Stakin' Workers accrue WAGE at the per-Worker daily rate derived from the pool breakpoints. Accrual gits credited at every hourly pool tick (UTC), steady as a grandfather clock.

§5.4

WAGE Export

Export in-game WAGE ta the Hive Engine WAGE token. Maximum 1000 WAGE per transaction. Export fee is 5% burn — the burned portion reduces future supply permanent-like. Gone fer good.

§5.5

Burn Mechanics

Every export transaction burns a percentage of the amount. The cumulative burn gits tracked and published; the design is deflationary, not inflationary. We go down, not up.

§5.6

Gen 1 Burn

Gen 1 mintin' costs WAGE at quartile tiers (2000 / 4000 / 8000 / 16000 WAGE). The paid WAGE gits burned, further reducin' supply. Every mint is another hatchet on the WAGE tree.
