More About Our Tokenomics

Understanding the Core Economic Design Behind Merss (MSZ)

At first glance, tokenomics might look like just a set of supply figures and allocation charts. But with Merss (MSZ), tokenomics isn’t just about numbers, it's about encoding trust, time, and commitment directly into the protocol. This is where Merss sets itself apart from inflation-heavy DeFi clones and staking games.

We’ve engineered a deflationary, DAO-governed, programmable yield architecture that puts long-term holders and ecosystem contributors at the center of value creation. Let’s go deeper.

Total Supply & Atomic Units

MSZ will be hard-capped at 100 million tokens. Of this, only 31.7 million MSZ have been minted and are currently circulating. The remaining 68.3 million are securely held in a time-locked treasury wallet for future vesting. To facilitate micro-yield flows and ultra-precise transactions, MSZ can be divided into ultra-fine units called Mites. These sub-cent units are designed for global accessibility and programmable utility.

Emission Philosophy: Time Is the Currency

Unlike mining or staking loops that reward activity and power, MSZ rewards time itself. Through our unique mechanism called Proof of Trust Epochs (PoTE), yield and governance power are earned by how long MSZ is held or delegated, not how much was thrown into a lockup.

• No slashing, no “oops, you lost internet for 30 minutes so we nuked your yield”
• No front-running whales, governance is based on when you entered and how long you stayed, not just how much you bought

“Time-weighted belief replaces speculative greed.”

Token Allocation

Out of MerssToken’s 100 million hard cap, 31.7 million MSZ are currently in circulation. This includes 30 million pre-allocated to the DAO, treasury, owner reserve, and strategic partners, with an additional 1.7 million distributed to support early liquidity provisioning, airdrops, testing phases, donations, and developer incentives. The remaining 68.3 million MSZ will be unlocked gradually through the DAO’s Trust Epoch system, a time-based, community-governed release model designed to promote long-term alignment. These tokens will be directed toward yield distributions, ecosystem grants, public goods donations, developer bounties, platform integrations, strategic partnerships, and liquidity incentives, all under transparent DAO supervision.

Delegated Yield Rights (DYR) & the DYL Ledger

Your yield is yours to keep or to redirect.

Thanks to the Delegated Yield Ledger (DYL):

• You can delegate yield to others (e.g., creators, DAOs, friends) without giving up your tokens
• The recipient receives the yield flow, while you retain ownership of the MSZ
• Use cases: Sponsored creators, programmable royalty streams, mentorship DAOs, yield NFTs

This makes MSZ yield composable, programmable, and revocable, features that don’t exist in most DeFi protocols.

Governance That Rewards Commitment

Governance in Merss isn’t a plutocracy. We replaced "how much" with "how long."

• Trust Epoch score = voting power
• No whales buying influence overnight
• No slashing for inactivity
• Influence fades with apathy, not with momentary absence

Proposal Flow:

• Draft: Anyone may propose
• Validate: Reach minimum trust threshold
• Vote: Time-weighted voting power enforces belief over bias

Smart Contract Design

• UUPS Proxy upgradeable (future-proof)
• Chainlink-integrated for BNB/USD accuracy
• Gated permissions via onlyDAO() logic
• canWithdraw() logic enforces epoch-based reward claiming

Yield isn't farmed. It's earned, and only withdrawable after satisfying time + trust conditions. This builds honest participation, and erases parasitic behaviors from liquidity mercenaries.

Real-World Applications: Not Vaporware

MSZ isn’t a speculative token, it’s an economic substrate that powers new decentralized relationships:

• On Regaarder, Fans don’t “tip.” They pledge Mites as trust, creating sustainable creator economies
• Trust Pools, Community-based lending or savings groups using time as credit history
• Micro-DAOs, Funding mentorship programs or education collectives via delegated trust
• Collateralized Yield, Borrow stablecoins using your yield rights as collateral — no need to sell your MSZ

What’s Next: The Future of Trust Finance

The vision doesn’t end here. On the roadmap:

• zkPoTE, Zero-knowledge confidential epochs
• Decentralized Identity (DID), Trust-based credit scoring
• Yield Marketplaces, Trade or lease yield streams
• Programmable Repayment Streams, Smart repayments over time in Mites

We're building the first trust-driven financial engine, not for whales, but for real, long-term builders and believers.

Final Thought

Merss is not a staking protocol,

It’s not a meme token,

It’s not another locked-yield DeFi pump,

It’s a new economic logic, where time = trust, and trust = value.

So if you’re looking to flip, look elsewhere.

But if you're building for the long term, join the epoch.
