Why $COSMIC Has Value

Access Utility
Hold 10.0K+ tokens = unlimited chat with all characters. Saves money vs pay-per-message.
Governance
Vote on character personalities, content direction, treasury spending. Your voice matters.
Treasury Backing
35% of tokens back the treasury. Revenue flows in, creating real asset backing.
Buy Pressure
New users buy tokens for access. Growing user base = growing demand for $COSMIC.
Token Holder Math:
If a user sends 100 messages/month at $0.25/msg = $25/month
Holding 10.0K $COSMIC for unlimited access is a better deal if they chat regularly.

  • • Custom character creation (pay fee)
  • • Focus on character quality over quantity
PHASE 2 - SCALE

Daily Auctions (Nouns-style)

  • • 1 new character minted & auctioned daily
  • • 365 characters/year, perpetual expansion
  • • Auction proceeds → Treasury (80%) + Founder (20%)
  • • Activated once demand & community proven
