Tokenomics: The ZENN & RYOZU Ecosystem
The economy of "ZENN: Trials of Mu" is built upon a carefully designed dual-token system, featuring ZENN and RYOZU. Our core philosophy emphasizes long-term sustainability, rewarding skillful gameplay, and a strict non-Pay-to-Win (Non-P2W) approach. ZENN provides foundational value and governance, while RYOZU fuels the dynamic in-game economy.
ZENN Token (Gold Standard)
ZENN tokens form the foundation of our ecosystem's value, with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. As the "Gold Standard" of our economy, ZENN provides:
- DAO governance rights
- Ability to earn RYOZU through staking
- Foundation for ecosystem value
RYOZU Token (Silver Currency)
RYOZU serves as the in-game currency with a capped supply of 3 billion tokens. This "Silver Currency" is central to the player experience.
- Used for in-game purchases and progression
- Earned through gameplay and ZENN staking
- Powers the player-driven economy and trade
Core Principles
Our tokenomic design is driven by three core principles that ensure a sustainable and fair game economy:
Dual-Token Model ("Gold & Silver")
Balanced Token Flow
ZENN acts as the high-value governance and staking token ("Gold"), while RYOZU serves as the primary in-game utility and rewards currency ("Silver"). This separation provides economic stability and clear utility for each token.
Non-Pay-to-Win
Fair Gameplay
Neither ZENN nor RYOZU can be used to directly purchase competitive advantages, such as base character stats or disproportionately powerful gear unavailable through gameplay. Utility focuses on progression acceleration (via earned RYOZU), customization, and access.
Sustainable Economy
Value Preservation
RYOZU employs a "Mint on Demand" creation mechanism tied directly to value-generating activities (staking ZENN, skilled gameplay). This is balanced by multiple RYOZU spending sinks and burning mechanisms designed to manage inflation and maintain token value.
