The in-game economy of Duck Dynasty is powered by **Sweet Hatch Tonic (SHT)**, a utility token designed to fuel the core gameplay loop while supporting long-term sustainability through deflationary mechanics. #### Token Overview * **Token Name**: Sweet Hatch Tonic * **Symbol**: SHT * **Token Type**: Utility * **Blockchain**: SUI Network * **Initial Supply**: 100,000,000 SHT * **Emission Model**: Dynamic — deflationary through burns, inflationary through gameplay rewards SHT is used across the Duck Dynasty ecosystem for hatching new Ducks, upgrading Nests, and participating in other in-game systems. It is also permanently burned through key actions, creating natural scarcity as player activity increases. *** #### Initial Allocation | Category | Allocation | Amount (SHT) | Purpose | | --------------------- | ---------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | | Liquidity & LP Pools | 75% | 75,000,000 | For DEX liquidity and token price stability | | Marketing & Ecosystem | 10% | 10,000,000 | Incentives, community growth, and partnership rewards | | Team | 7.5% | 7,500,000 | Subject to 2-year linear vesting | | Advisors & Partners | 2.5% | 2,500,000 | Subject to 2-year linear vesting | | Treasury Reserve | 5% | 5,000,000 | Strategic use for protocol safety and contingencies | | Total | 100% | 100,000,000 | | > Note: All tokens not allocated at launch are introduced exclusively through gameplay harvests. There is no additional pre-minting beyond the initial supply. *** #### Token Utility SHT serves multiple roles in the ecosystem: * **Hatching Ducks**: All SHT used to purchase Duck Packs is permanently burned. * **Upgrading Nests**: SHT spent on Nest upgrades is also permanently burned. * **Incentivized Participation**: SHT may be used to reward leaderboard achievements or event participation. *** #### Deflationary Mechanics Duck Dynasty incorporates several deflationary mechanisms to support long-term token health: * **Burn on Mint**: 80% of SHT used for Duck Packs is removed from circulation. * **Burn on Upgrade**: SHT used to enhance Nest performance is permanently burned. *** #### Sustainability To maintain economic balance, SHT utility costs (e.g., Duck Pack prices, upgrade fees, reward base value) are subject to **periodic review and rebalancing**. These adjustments ensure that the game remains accessible, rewarding, and economically viable across various market conditions.
