Gross Merchandise Value (GMV)

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) refers to the total transaction volume processed through the OVERTAKE platform over a defined period, typically measured in USD.

It serves as the foundational metric that drives all token-economic mechanisms, including platform revenue, buyback demand, and reward allocation.

Formal Definition: Let T be the set of all successful trades on the platform within a given time window. Then,

GMV = Σ (Price_t × Quantity_t)

where:

  • Price_t is the USD price per unit in trade t

  • Quantity_t is the number of units exchanged in trade t

Scope of Inclusion:

  • Game item sales

  • Account transfers

  • In-game currency trades

  • Package or bundled transactions

Scope of Exclusion:

  • Failed or canceled transactions

  • Internal token transfers not tied to a marketplace exchange

Strategic Role of GMV:

  1. Fee Base: Platform revenue is calculated as a fixed percentage of GMV.

  2. Buyback Driver: A portion of the collected fees is allocated to token buybacks, directly linking GMV to $TAKE demand.

  3. Reward Anchor: Agent incentives are distributed based on the GMV impact of their activity.

By establishing a deterministic link between user behavior and GMV, and between GMV and token demand, the OVERTAKE platform ensures that the $TAKE token value is grounded in real economic throughput.
