Unstuck Points (UP) & Unstuck Coins (UC): Tokenomics & White Paper

First look at Unstuck White Paper and Tokenomics of the upcoming Unstuck Coins and Unstuck Point infrastructure

Introduction

Unstuck is a Venture Capital Studio focused on Build, Fund, and deploy Start-Ups that aim to change the status quo. To support our platform's operations and expansion, we are launching two digital assets: Unstuck Points (UP) and Unstuck Coins (UC). These assets are designed to facilitate internal platform activities, incentivize user engagement, and offer a decentralized governance mechanism to foster a sustainable ecosystem.

Unstuck Points (UP) Overview

Unstuck Points (UP) function similarly to airline loyalty programs:

  • Value: 1 UP = 0.10 USD
  • Utility:
    • Used for participating in ICOs and funding new ventures within the Unstuck platform.
    • Earnable through completing tasks, referrals, and engaging in platform activities.
    • Non-tradeable for cash or other tokens but can be converted into Unstuck Coin (UC) at a fixed rate.
    • Can be exchanged for other assets through partnered platforms.

Unstuck Coins (UC) Overview

Unstuck Coins (UC) are utility tokens issued by Unstuck Corporation:

  • Value: 0.08 USD per UC during the ICO.
  • Utility:
    • Governance Voting: 1 UC = 1 vote. Token holders can influence platform decisions by participating in governance voting (minimum holding of 100 UC required).
    • Holding Benefits: Tokens appreciate as the platform buys back and burns UC tokens using profits from membership fees and other revenue streams.
    • Membership Benefits: Premium memberships require holding a minimum balance of UC tokens. Membership purchases burn UC tokens, reducing supply.
    • Market-Tradable: UC tokens can be traded on public exchanges or used within the Unstuck platform for converting into Unstuck Points.

Utility of Unstuck Points and Coins

Unstuck Points (UP) Usage:

  • Used to back ICO projects, ensuring stability during price rounds by avoiding cryptocurrency volatility.
  • Users must hold a sufficient amount of UP to participate in ICO rounds.
  • Points can be earned through platform activities or exchanged with partners.
  • UP cannot be directly traded for cash but can be exchanged for UC.

Unstuck Coins (UC) Usage:

  • UC tokens can be used to purchase Unstuck Points.
  • UC can be traded on exchanges or held within the platform for governance voting and other benefits.
  • Staking UC provides additional governance power and offers yields from staking pools (interest ranging from 5-10%, depending on pool size and lock-in duration).

Unstuck Coins - Tokenomics Breakdown

Initial Token Supply: 500 million UC

  • Distribution:
    • 50% (250M UC): Allocated to investors through public and private ICO rounds.
    • 20% (100M UC): Reserved for the Unstuck co-founding team and strategic partnerships.
    • 10% (50M UC): Community rewards, including staking and incentivizing long-term holders.
    • 10% (50M UC): Non-profit and charitable initiatives.
    • 10% (50M UC): Reserved for future growth, partnerships, and emergency minting if needed.

Initial Market Cap: $40 million

  • Based on an initial price of 0.08 USD per UC and a total supply of 500 million UC tokens.

Burning Mechanism:

  • Quarterly Burn: 5-10% of the total UC supply will be burned each quarter, depending on platform profits. Membership fees and transaction fees will fund token buybacks for burning.
  • Membership Purchases: 20% of membership fees will be used to buy UC from the market, which will then be burned.

Minting in Emergencies:

  • UC tokens are generally non-minted after the genesis event. However, emergency minting may occur if:
    • There is instability in the Unstuck Points (UP) USD peg.
    • A sudden price spike occurs with UC tokens.
    • Expansion or asset acquisition requires additional funding.
  • Maximum Emergency Mint: 5% of the total supply per quarter (up to 25 million tokens), only after governance approval with a 75% majority vote.

Governance Voting & Staking Pools

  • Voting Power: Each holder of 100 or more UC tokens can vote on key governance issues. 1 UC = 1 vote.
  • Staking Pools:
    • Low-Risk Pool: Yields 5% annual return with a 30-day lock-in.
    • High-Risk Pool: Yields 10% annual return with a 90-day lock-in.
    • Stakers temporarily transfer their voting power to pool owners but retain governance yields.

Revenue Generation for Unstuck

Unstuck Corporation will generate revenue through the following streams:

  • ICO Launch Fees: 5-10% of total capital raised from ICOs.
  • Transaction Fees: Fees charged on all transactions within the Unstuck ecosystem.
  • Membership Fees: Exclusive memberships providing early access to ICO projects and premium services, with fees ranging from $500 to $5,000 annually.
  • Spread on Exchange Rates: Fees derived from the difference between buy and sell rates on Unstuck Points.
  • ICO Campaign Commissions: Commissions based on achieving campaign goals for launched projects.

UC Price Targets & Growth Projections

  • Initial Price: UC tokens will launch at 0.08 USD per token during the ICO.
  • Year-One Target: The goal is to reach a 1.5-2 USD price within the first 12 months, depending on platform growth and the number of launched ICO projects.
  • Burning Mechanism Influence: As tokens are consistently burned and demand increases, supply will shrink, driving price appreciation.

Incentives for Holding Unstuck Points and Coins

  • Unstuck Points (UP): UP functions like casino chips, created when fiat or cryptocurrencies are exchanged. Points are burned upon completion of ICO investments or platform activities.
  • Unstuck Coins (UC): Prices may fluctuate based on market dynamics, with the initial public ICO price set at 0.08 USD. Holders of UC tokens can benefit from governance power, staking rewards, and price appreciation as the platform grows.

Buying Projects & Stability Mechanisms

  • Instant Buy Option: Users can convert fiat or cryptocurrency directly into UP to back projects immediately.
  • Top-Up Balance: Users may top up their UC balance and use UC to participate in projects.
  • Unstuck Points Stability: Pegged to USD at 0.10 USD per point, ensuring stable participation in ICOs without volatility risks.
  • Unstuck Coins Stability: Initial price set at 0.08 USD with controlled burns and buybacks to drive up token value and ensure price stability.
