Sustainability
Sustainable Gaming: Our Unique Economic Engine
At NUGS Au, "sustainable gaming" isn't just a buzzword; it's the core of our economic design. We're building an ecosystem where you can earn while you game, stream, or compete, all powered by a thriving and self-reinforcing economy.

The Foundation: Smart Tokenomics
The NUGS Token is built with intelligent features, often called "tokenomics." Think of these as small transaction fees that, instead of disappearing, actively work to strengthen our entire ecosystem. These fees contribute to several key areas:
-
Liquidity: Ensuring smooth trading.
-
Asset Backing: Building underlying value for the token.
-
Burn: Gradually reducing the total token supply.
-
Stake Rewards: Rewarding those who support the network.
These tokenomics are the bedrock of our sustainable model.

The Funding Cycle: How We Power NUGS Esports & Community Growth
Our approach to funding is designed to be truly sustainable, ensuring we never have to sell tokens from our treasury to support community initiatives. Here’s how it works:
The Rewards Wallet & Passive Income:
We have a dedicated NUGS Rewards Wallet, with a substantial 20 million NUGS tokens staked across the SmartChain and Base networks.
This wallet automatically earns passive income (interest) from the transaction fees generated by our tokenomics.

The "SmartLend" Innovation - For Us & For You:
Here’s where it gets clever. Instead of selling NUGS tokens earned as interest (which could negatively impact token price), NUGSAU LIMITED utilises a "SmartLend" feature. This allows us to borrow against the asset-backed value of the interest that the Rewards Wallet has accumulated.
But this powerful feature isn't just for us. All NUGS token holders can also utilise the SmartLend functionality. This means if you, as an investor, wish to take profits or access liquidity, you can borrow against the asset-backed value of your own NUGS tokens without needing to sell them on the open market. This provides a way to realise gains while minimising direct impact on the token's price, contributing to overall market stability.

Fuelling the Ecosystem (NUGSAU's Use):
The value borrowed by NUGSAU LIMITED via SmartLend (from the Rewards Wallet's interest) is what directly funds all NUGS Esports events, prize pools, creator support programmes, and other community initiatives.


The Deflationary Advantage and the Value Enhancement (Relating to NUGSAU's SmartLend):
What happens to the original NUGS tokens (the interest from the Rewards Wallet) that were used as collateral by NUGSAU LIMITED for the SmartLend?
We have the option to buy back these tokens within a set period (e.g., 30 days).
Alternatively, if not bought back, a portion of these tokens can be progressively removed from the total supply (effectively "burned") over time (e.g., 5% every 30 days). This deflationary mechanism reduces the overall token supply.
A Virtuous Cycle:
This process creates a powerful cycle. Events are funded sustainably by NUGSAU LIMITED's use of SmartLend, and the potential reduction in token supply can, in turn, enhance the value of all NUGS tokens held by our investors and community members.
Furthermore, the ability for all investors to use SmartLend offers flexible profit-taking options that support a healthier token economy. It’s how we aim to build an economy that grows stronger and more valuable over time, for everyone involved.

Transparency is Key:
We are committed to full transparency. The NUGS Rewards Wallet can be tracked publicly using this address: 0x42FCA9B5b09B7B2E4D56f8546fe36aC7039260cE.
The NUGS Commitment:
All NUGS Esports events are funded only through the value generated by our SmartLend feature, derived from the interest earned by our Rewards Wallet. No treasury tokens are sold to fund operations, reinforcing the long-term integrity and stability of our ecosystem.
