Tokenomics

Principles of monetary policy

The monetary system stands on two main principles: Flexibility and Transparency. It operates through flexible emission rates that respond to comprehensive quarterly economic analysis, ensuring money supply growth matches actual demand for liquidity. All critical economic indicators—including transaction volumes, lending activity, token velocity, and aggregate economic output—are published through real-time on-chain dashboards, providing complete transparency into monetary policy decisions and economic performance.

Additional emission

Token emission maintains a 5-15% buffer above measured economic growth to ensure adequate liquidity for expanding business activity. For example, if the economy grows 10%, emission may reach 15-25%, with upper limits enforced to prevent hyperinflation. Economic growth is measured through the Juna GDP indicator, calculated and published by the Monetary Policy DAO based on comprehensive analysis of ecosystem activity from the previous period.

Anti-speculation mechanisms

Value-Based Token Allocation: Rather than conducting speculative initial coin offerings, tokens are distributed exclusively to participants who create genuine value—developers building ecosystem services, users contributing meaningful activity, and projects that enhance overall utility. This approach prevents pump-and-dump cycles while ensuring tokens reach productive participants who strengthen the ecosystem.

Long-term Stability Measures: Large token allocations for founders and core team members are subject to multi-year vesting schedules, preventing market manipulation through sudden selling while aligning long-term incentives with ecosystem success.

Rewards for teams and users (Juna Points, "Mars Game")

Merit-Based Rewards: The Juna Points system provides marketing incentives for genuine promotional activities, testing participation, and community building, with points convertible to JUNA tokens from dedicated marketing funds based on actual contribution quality rather than speculation.

Gamified Economic Education: The Mars Game offers an engaging introduction to Juna's economic principles, where players earn Mars Credits through resource management and strategic cooperation, which convert to Juna Points and ultimately Juna Tokens, creating an educational pathway that rewards learning and participation.
