### 📊 Sustainability Plan

To prevent reward pool drain and ensure token value:

| Mechanism                  | Function                                                        |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Dynamic Reward Scaling** | Adjust point-to-token rate based on usage & treasury health     |
| **Daily User Cap**         | Limits abuse, spreads rewards evenly                            |
| **Gamification**           | Streaks & competitions drive retention without constant payouts |
| **Token Burn Events**      | Reduce supply via fun, community-driven burn mechanics          |

### 🔄 Feedback Loop

```plaintext
User Rage → Earn Points → Claim Token → Use in App → Generate Fees → Reinvest in Reward Pool
```

This creates a **circular economy** where the more users express, engage, and reinvest, the more sustainable the platform becomes.
