Token

The nGRND Gold Protocol Token (ticker: [NGRND] is the proprietary utility token that powers participation, governance, staking, rewards, and treasury interaction across the wider nGRND Gold Protocol Ecosystem.

Designed as the core Web3 asset of the nGRND Gold Protocol, [NGRND] enables Participants to engage with the Ecosystem, accumulate Reward Points, participate in governance, access Participation Stream functionality, and contribute toward the growth of the Ecosystem. The token also forms a core component of the Dual Treasury strategy, linking the expansion of the Ecosystem to the growth and potential realised appreciation of verified Preserved Gold resources, with 30-to-100-year Preserved Site project activity sustaining rewards distributions.

With a wide range of token utilities to generate market demand, and integrated deflationary mechanisms to control the circulating [NGRND] supply, the nGRND Gold Protocol Token has been designed to generate an active participation economy and secondary market.

Platform Utility

The nGRND Gold Protocol supports a broad utility economy in which [NGRND] functions as the core staking, governance, rewards, access, and payments token across the Ecosystem.

Distribution of Ecosystem rewards, incentives and participation-based allocations may be paid in USDC/USDT or other stablecoins subject to applicable laws, treasury performance, and platform governance.

nGRND Gold Protocol Tokens are not passive; they are intended to function as an active staking, participation and rewards token so that the utility and demand for [NGRND] scales alongside growth of the Ecosystem and its Participant community. In addition, [NGRND] can be used to make payments for services within the

Participation Streams, contributions to the Innovation and Sustainability Awards, Partner initiatives, and other Platform fees.

Staking Reward Levels, Participation Multipliers, Badges, Bonuses and Boosts

Participation systems provide smart-contract-enabled Staking Reward Levels, Participation Multipliers, reward enhancements, access benefits, and progression systems to incentivise engagement.

Deflationary Mechanisms

The nGRND Gold Protocol has integrated several deflationary mechanisms for [NGRND], including an innovative staking system, discretionary token burns, and the Dual Treasury cap. Each mechanism is intended to support the [NGRND] secondary market by either reducing supply or inhibiting it as total value locked (TVL).

As a utility token, [NGRND] grants the holder no legal rights or entitlement to the Preserved Gold, revenues, or profit of the nGRND Gold Protocol or any registered corporate entities. Any potential token buy-backs or burns will function as a treasury management and utility-support mechanism rather than a guaranteed market intervention or entitlement framework. The implementation, scale, and timing of any such activity remain subject to governance priorities, treasury conditions, market dynamics, and the broader long-term sustainability objectives of the Protocol.

Staking

Token staking forms a core component of the participation economy, where Participants may lock [NGRND] tokens for pre-defined time periods (Staking Reward Level) to increase their Participation Multiplier and Reward Points, and the availability of various benefits across the Ecosystem, such as greater access, Participation Streams, discounts, reputation, and influence. This contributes to TVL for the nGRND Gold Protocol, protecting the secondary market by inhibiting supply.

Unlike conventional staking systems that reward passive holding alone, the nGRND Gold Protocol aligns Staking Rewards with active Ecosystem participation using the previously described Reward Points system. The relative weighting of each Participant in the staking pool is influenced not only by the quantity of [NGRND] staked, but also by their accrued Reward Points, any Participation Multipliers, Badges and Bonuses they have earned, Boosts they have acquired, and the progression stage of their individual DSBT (essentially account access and a permanent NFT Multiplier).

Importantly, the nGRND Gold Protocol is designed so that staking by itself generates only a passive baseline of Staking Rewards, resulting from a passive earning rate for Reward Points. Reward Point acceleration is intended to remain linked to active Participant participation, supporting the utility-driven structure of the Ecosystem economy and reinforcing long-term community engagement within the nGRND Gold Protocol Ecosystem.

Burning

The nGRND Gold Protocol may implement discretionary token burning mechanisms designed to reduce the circulating supply of [NGRND] over time as Ecosystem activity expands. Unlike fixed or algorithmic burn models, [NGRND] burns are intended to remain flexible and subject to governance oversight, allowing the

nGRND Gold Protocol to adapt treasury strategy according to market conditions, Ecosystem growth, and priorities.

Potential burn sources may include a portion of Ecosystem fees or other Ecosystem transactions in [NGRND]. In addition, the nGRND Gold Protocol may utilise treasury revenues generated through ESG, SDG and other sustainability impact distribution streams from nGRND Site Programmes and/or Ecosystem activity to conduct discretionary secondary market buy-backs followed by token burns. Together, these mechanisms are intended to support long-term supply compression while reinforcing the utility-driven economic structure of the nGRND Ecosystem.

The Dual Treasury implemented by the nGRND Gold Protocol is designed to create a dynamic relationship between the growth of the [NGRND] participation economy and the expansion of Preserved Gold held by the Protocol. As nGRND Gold Platform activity increases through staking, governance participation, referrals, AI agents, learning engagement, other participation streams, and broader utility demand, value may accumulate within the Token Reserve through increased Ecosystem usage, treasury activity, and market participation.

This growth of the Token Reserve is intended to support the long-term expansion of the nGRND Gold Protocol through the acquisition of additional Preserved Gold for the treasury and to support the Innovation and Sustainability Awards.

In turn, the increase of Preserved Gold treasury reserves and ESG, SDG and other sustainability impact distribution streams may strengthen the underlying natural wealth foundation of the Ecosystem. Revenue generated through ESG, SDG and other sustainability impact distribution stream activities may contribute additional treasury value and long-term Ecosystem growth opportunities.

This creates a cyclical treasury relationship in which nGRND Gold Platform participation supports treasury expansion, treasury expansion supports further Preserved Gold acquisition, and ESG, SDG and other sustainability impact distribution streams strengthen the long-term value foundation underpinning the Ecosystem.

The nGRND Gold Protocol may therefore periodically rebalance treasury priorities between the Token Reserve and Preserved Gold according to Ecosystem growth, treasury conditions, governance decisions, market dynamics, and long-term sustainability objectives. Through this structure, the Dual Treasury seeks to align Ecosystem growth with the Preserved Gold treasury, creating complementary value drivers both above and

These three deflationary mechanisms will be used in combination to create a dynamic supply control system for the [NGRND] token economy, allowing the nGRND Gold Protocol to reduce the circulating supply or drive demand at different times by adjusting the proportional budgets (X%, Y%, Z%) between staking, burning, and

Economic Model

The nGRND Gold Protocol plans to issue a maximum supply of 850 million nGRND Gold Tokens, distributed progressively from a token generation event (TGE) with a token release schedule of 36 months and a four-stage token sale for [NGRND].
