Sink: Token Demand

The demand-side of the $TAKE token economy is driven by a built-in Treasury Accumulation Strategy directly linked to real platform activity. This structure ensures that token value is supported by organic economic throughput rather than purely speculative dynamics.

Treasury Accumulation Strategy

A fixed portion of all platform fee revenue is allocated to treasury management fund (the “TMF”). From time to time, the TMF shall be utilized to purchase various digital assets (including without limitation $TAKE tokens) from the open-market for the purposes of accumulating a treasury supply of such digital assets (which may include $TAKE tokens) which may be subsequently utilized for various strategic purposes to promote the growth and development of the $TAKE platform and ecosystem. This may include the removal of such tokens from circulation, through mechanisms such as token burns or lock-ups.

As defined in the platform fee structure:

TMF Contribution Strategy = GMV × F × θ₁ where:

• GMV = Gross Merchandise Value

• F = Platform fee rate (currently 0.10)

• θ₁ = TMF Contribution ratio (currently 0.70)

Thus, for every dollar of GMV generated, 7 cents will be directed and allotted to the TMF which may be used to purchase digital assets (such as $TAKE tokens) from the open market for the purposes of growing and accumulating the TMF treasury.

Sink Mechanism Operations

As stated above, a portion of the platform's revenue is automatically allocated to the TMF, which is then used at the foundation's discretion to purchase various digital assets, including without limitation, $TAKE tokens. Tokens acquired through this treasury accumulation strategy will be initially locked, and decisions regarding burning or redistribution will be determined through governance.

• Locked: Stored in the treasury wallet or staking pool to temporarily limit circulating supply.

• Burn: Permanently removed from circulation to reduce supply and increase deflationary pressure.

• Redistributed: Utilized for staking rewards, incentive programs, and other initiatives to drive ecosystem participation.

Additionally, after the official platform launch in September 2025, an external dashboard will be released to ensure transparency. The dashboard will publicly disclose the following key metrics:

• Total Trading Volume

• Platform Fee Revenue

• TMF Reserve

Macroeconomic Function

The treasury accumulation strategy plays three vital roles in the token economy:

• Stabilization: Reduces excess supply pressure by absorbing tokens in circulation.

• Value Anchoring: Links token demand to real usage rather than speculation.

• Scalability: Scales proportionally with GMV growth, enabling dynamic equilibrium between supply and demand.

By ensuring that token demand is grounded in platform utility, the sink model provides a sustainable foundation for long-term token value and ecosystem health. For avoidance of doubt, the foundation does not intend for $TAKE tokens to be acquired or purchased as an investment or for any form of speculation.
