Tokenomics & treasury
Every token belongs to the community
All 24,000,000,000 EVRY sits in 9 community-governed treasury pools. No tokens exist outside them. Nothing was set aside for founders, investors or a team.
Why it is built this way
In most token projects, insiders receive a large share before the public arrives and can sell it to the people who do the work. Evrylife removes that possibility at the root: there is no insider share to sell, and the supply can never be increased.
The EVRY token
- Token: EVRY (ERC-20 on Ethereum, bridgeable via Hyperlane).
- Total supply: 24,000,000,000 EVRY, hard-capped, immutable.
- Release: a rolling declining-balance release
(
treasury_release_formula = declining_balance_v1). There is no fixed emission rate. - Anti-greed: zero founder, investor or team allocation. All tokens go to the community.
The 9 treasury pools
Each pool has one job, and each is directed by community consensus.
| Pool | ID | Allocation | Tokens | Release type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early zkrpogo airdrop | tp01 | 10% | 2.4B EVRY | zkrpogo consensus |
| Dex liquidity pool | tp02 | 5% | 1.2B EVRY | zkrpogo consensus |
| Zkrpogo treasury (mod/db) | tp03 | 22% | 5.28B EVRY | zkrpogo gated |
| Zkrpogo treasury (features/dev) | tp04 | 15% | 3.6B EVRY | zkrpogo gated |
| Staking rewards | tp05 | 15% | 3.6B EVRY | zkrpogo gated |
| Governance participation | tp06 | 10% | 2.4B EVRY | zkrpogo gated |
| Causes | tp07 | 3% | 720M EVRY | zkrpogo gated |
| Starter accounts support | tp08 | 5% | 1.2B EVRY | zkrpogo gated |
| App operating costs | tp09 | 15% | 3.6B EVRY | zkrpogo gated |
A treasury that cannot be drained
A fund that can be spent all at once eventually is. So the pools release slowly, by formula: each month, a fixed fraction of whatever remains.
monthly_release = pool_balance_at_month_start / (rolling_period_years × 12)
It is recomputed every month on the current balance, so money flowing into the treasury automatically extends the pool.
- It never runs out. Each month releases 1/(Y×12) of what remains. The balance approaches zero but never reaches it.
- No moving money between pools. Pool allocations are fixed (an anti-greed immutable). Protection against depletion comes from this formula plus community-governed inflow routing.
- Governed dials: the rolling period (20–40 years, set by consensus) and the
safety cap
max_monthly_treasury_release_pct. - Example: tp05 staking (3.6B EVRY, 20 years) releases 15,000,000 EVRY in month 1; month 2 releases (3.6B − 15M + inflows) / 240; and so on, indefinitely.
There is no separate APY-style emission rate. Effective staking yield emerges from
monthly_release ÷ total_staked, so it balances itself: more stakers means
a lower yield per staker.
Staking and treasury dials
Governed settings, read from the public rulebook each time this site is built:
| Setting | Default | Range | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
min_pogo_stake | 100 | 50–500 | Minimum stake for full platform access |
enterprise_channel_min_stake | 500 | 100–100000 | Minimum stake for enterprise channels |
max_monthly_treasury_release_pct | 5 | 1–15 | Safety cap on any month's treasury release |
Staking is waived during bootstrap and enforced at token launch. Violating the community guidelines slashes stake, and slashed stake returns to the treasury.
Where new money comes from
The rolling pools receive ongoing inflow from:
- Causes donations from member subscriptions
- Causes donations from member sales
- Slashing for violating community guidelines
- Micro fees from swaps
- zkr-POGO-as-a-service fees (other communities using zkr-POGO)
- Compute and bandwidth as a service fees
How members earn
Members earn EVRY by completing zkr-POGO tasks: reviewing moderation cases, builds and
proposals. A reward is calculated as
base_reward × role_multiplier × consensus_quality and comes from the
matching pool (tp03 for moderation, tp04 for development). You choose in your profile whether
rewards are claimed to your wallet automatically or held for you to claim.
Causes: giving back is built in
The causes treasury distributes across 6 pillars:
Relief for natural disasters
16.67% of the causes treasury.
Healthcare access
16.67% of the causes treasury.
Clean water access
16.67% of the causes treasury.
Housing & economic development
16.67% of the causes treasury.
Renewable energy
16.67% of the causes treasury.
Environmental restoration
16.65% of the causes treasury.
Cause allocations are decided by consensus and can be adjusted by proposal.
