🪙 YURU COIN Tokenomics

Revolutionary Deflationary Token Economy Design

YURU COIN adopts an economic design fundamentally different from conventional cryptocurrencies. Rather than targeting speculative price volatility, it is a culture-oriented token economic system focused on sustainably supporting Japan’s precious cultural asset of “Yuru-chara” and contributing to regional revitalization.

🔥 Complete Deflationary Model: A Mechanism Where Value Increases with Usage

Zero Additional Issuance Design Philosophy

The most innovative feature of YURU COIN lies in its complete deflationary token design. The initial issuance represents the total supply, and no additional tokens will ever be issued in the future. This design prevents value dilution through inflation and achieves long-term value preservation.

Burn (Destruction) Mechanism

Token supply continuously decreases through the following activities:

Consumption Through Voting Tokens are consumed as proof of support when voting in the Yuru-chara Grand Prix. This ensures that fan support activities directly contribute to enhancing token scarcity.

Event Participation Fees Tokens are burned as participation fees for various community events. This functions not merely as payment, but as a contribution to the community.

NFT Integration Tokens are also destroyed during the issuance and trading of Yuru-chara related NFTs, organically combining the digital collectibles market with the token economy.

Special Projects and Limited Events Tokens are consumed as premium participation fees for limited-time special projects and exclusive events.

Through this mechanism, participation in cultural activities automatically enhances token scarcity and realizes long-term value appreciation. This is a revolutionary model that overturns conventional economic wisdom where the more you use, the more valuable it becomes.

🗳️ Cultural Utility: The Innovation of Voting as Economic Activity

Integration with Yuru-chara Grand Prix

The core value of YURU COIN lies in its deep integration with the existing cultural event “Yuru-chara Grand Prix.” What was previously just a popularity contest transforms into genuine economic activity with the introduction of YURU COIN.

Function as Voting Rights By holding YURU COIN, users gain voting rights in the Yuru-chara Grand Prix. Since tokens are consumed with each vote, more passionate fans require more tokens, creating natural demand.

Economic Valorization of Support Previously, support was limited to free actions like “likes” and “shares,” but YURU COIN enables “economically valuable support.” Fan affection is now expressed as actual economic activity.

Proven Economic Impact

The potential value of this mechanism has already been demonstrated. Kumamon, the first champion, has generated:

Approximately 166.4 billion yen in economic impact in 2023 alone
A cumulative economic impact of 1.4596 trillion yen (approximately $10 billion)

Victory in the Yuru-chara Grand Prix has the potential to bring economic ripple effects on the scale of hundreds of billions of yen to the region. YURU COIN provides a means for fans to directly and economically participate in such massive economic impact.

🌍 Core Infrastructure for Regional Revitalization Web3

Regional Revitalization Web3 as Philosophy

In the “Regional Revitalization × Web3” policy promoted by the government, YURU COIN is not merely a technical tool. Regional Revitalization Web3 is a philosophy, and as long as it involves logically articulating this philosophy, YURU COIN stands at the pinnacle of all such phenomena.

Yuru-chara Grand Prix has thrived on social media by anthropomorphizing regions and companies through their infinitely relaxed character settings. It could be said that social media is currently the main battlefield for their activities. However, at the current stage where the government aims for Regional Revitalization Web3, YURU COIN will undoubtedly become indispensable for implementing Regional Revitalization Web3.

Building a Distributed Economic Zone

YURU COIN functions as social infrastructure to realize a future where thousands of “Yuru-chara” across the nation each become players in the distributed economy. Each regional character forms its own economic zone while interconnecting through the common foundation of YURU COIN, promoting regional revitalization throughout Japan.

⚡ Diverse Token Utilities

Voting Rights and Governance

Yuru-chara Grand Prix Voting Rights The most fundamental use of YURU COIN is as voting rights in the Yuru-chara Grand Prix. Voting power is determined by holdings, allowing fans with more tokens to have stronger influence.

Community Governance Token holders can participate in important project decisions through voting. This includes event planning, new feature additions, partnership approvals, and other matters where community voices are directly reflected.

Entertainment Functions

In-Game Currency In the future, YURU COIN will function as in-game currency for Yuru-chara related mobile and browser games. It can be used for character development, item purchases, special event participation, and more.

NFT Marketplace YURU COIN serves as the settlement currency for buying and selling limited digital collections and art works of Yuru-chara. This organically combines tokens with the NFT market, forming a richer digital economic zone.

Practical Services

Official Merchandise Purchase YURU COIN can be used for payment when purchasing official Yuru-chara Grand Prix goods and related products of various characters. Token holders receive special discounts and access to limited products.

Premium Member Benefits By holding a certain amount of YURU COIN, users can enjoy premium member benefits. This includes priority participation in exclusive events, access to behind-the-scenes content, and opportunities to interact with the development team.

Staking Rewards A staking system is planned where users can earn additional YURU COIN as rewards by locking tokens for a certain period. This provides greater benefits to long-term holders.
