Raini Studios, the developers of Raini: The Lords of the Light (RTLOL), who have been acquired by CEDEN and Kanpai Studios last month, have published new tokenomics for their ecosystem token, $RST.

Tokenomics V2 Details

The team has revealed a couple of key changes to the tokenomics that are said to reflect the company’s “commitment to a sustainable, simple, and player-focused ecosystem.” Among the changes is the addition of a 1% sell tax that is set to be used for community incentives that include tournament prizes, events, and giveaways.

Treasury Vesting & Emissions

What initially was a 1 year schedule for treasury vesting has been changed to 2 years, with the reason being that the want to lower the token’s emission rate, which is said to align with their goal of “sustainable growth and value retention.”

The emissions scheduled has also been adjusted, and is now set to 10 years instead of 5. According to the official tweet, 40% of $RST storefront revenue will go back to the players, or more specifically, 10% will directly go to existing systems every month, while the other 30% will go out of circulation and be moved into Player Reward pools for Leaderboard, P&E, and C&E rewards.

Community Rewards

In an effort to facilitate play-and-earn gameplay and reward RTLOL players, 100 million tokens that were initially set for LP incentives will go towards in-game incentives inside, thus rewarding existing players while potentially retaining new ones.

The Team Pool is getting removed, and replacing it is the Communities Pool that is funded by “CEDEN and Kanpai Studios’ forgone 50 million $RST allocation.” With this new pool, the developers look to reward NFT holders and increase their playerbase.

From Season 3 and onwards, Leaderboard rewards will now only go towards the Seasonal Leaderboard, but the amount of players getting rewarded is being increased, meaning that it will no longer be the top 60, but it will now be the top 1000 players getting rewarded, with new earning tiers set to soon be announced.
