8. Economic Harmony (EH) ™
Economic Harmony (EH) Model
The Economic Harmony (EH) Model is the cornerstone of the Income Layer's design, ensuring that the ecosystem remains balanced, sustainable, and scalable. It is a dynamic economic framework that adjusts in real time to changes in supply, demand, liquidity, and other critical metrics. The goal of EH is to maintain an optimal balance between the input of resources (such as taxes and liquidity) and the output (such as UBI distribution and rewards), ensuring that the system remains viable even during periods of high stress or volatility.
Key Variables in the Economic Harmony Model
The Economic Harmony algorithm continuously monitors and adjusts several real-time variables, including:
Circulating Supply: The total number of $INCOME tokens in circulation is closely monitored to prevent oversupply. The algorithm ensures that token distribution remains sustainable by adjusting the rate at which tokens are released based on demand and market conditions.
Liquidity Reserves: Liquidity is a critical component of any decentralized financial system. EH tracks liquidity levels in the system’s liquidity pools to ensure that there is always enough liquidity to facilitate transactions and UBI distributions without causing market disruption. A minimum liquidity reserve threshold is maintained to protect against market crashes or liquidity shortages.
Transaction Volume: EH monitors the daily transaction volume of $INCOME tokens to gauge the level of market activity. This helps the system adjust UBI distribution rates and other economic policies in response to fluctuations in trading volume.
Number of Active Nodes: The system keeps track of how many INCOME Nodes are actively participating in the ecosystem at any given time. This helps ensure that the rate of UBI distribution aligns with the system’s capacity to generate liquidity and manage governance.
Number of Waiting Nodes: Similarly, EH tracks the number of nodes in the queue waiting to become active. This information is used to control the flow of new nodes into the system, ensuring that they are released in a controlled manner through the NODE Smart Queue.
Collected Taxes: The system calculates and monitors the total taxes collected from token transactions. These funds are funneled into liquidity reserves, UBI payouts, and the treasury, helping to ensure the system remains solvent and sustainable.
Treasury Reserves: The balance of the treasury is another key metric in the EH model. It ensures that there are always enough reserves to cover the system’s operational expenses, UBI payouts, and future developments.
Deflation Rate: The 2% burn applied to every transaction is an integral part of maintaining token value. The deflation rate is monitored and adjusted if necessary to prevent hyperinflation and maintain token scarcity.
Growth Variables: EH takes into account growth indicators, including user base expansion, external partnerships, and liquidity pool growth. These metrics are used to forecast the future needs of the system and adjust policies accordingly to support sustainable growth.
Balancing Input and Output
The EH algorithm ensures that the balance between input (such as taxes, liquidity reserves, and staked tokens) and output (such as UBI distributions and governance rewards) is maintained in real-time. If too many tokens are being distributed without enough liquidity or transaction volume to support it, the system adjusts by reducing UBI payouts or increasing staking requirements to prevent economic instability.
Conversely, if there is excess liquidity or a surge in transaction volume, EH may increase UBI payouts or reduce staking requirements to redistribute the surplus in a way that benefits participants and keeps the system thriving.
Long-Term Stability
By continuously adjusting the core variables in real-time, the EH model ensures that the Income Layer ecosystem is always optimized for long-term stability. The dynamic balancing prevents the system from becoming overextended or collapsing due to market volatility. This adaptability is key to the system’s sustainability, allowing it to withstand external shocks while continuing to provide reliable UBI to participants.
