> **Vesting Philosophy**
>
> FortuneHunters follows the *Slow-Burn* model: emissions taper as the user base grows, pivoting the primary value capture from inflationary rewards to secondary-market NFT trading fees.

## 4.3 Monetary Policy

### Inflation Control

Unlike typical Play-to-Earn models, **$FORTUNE** employs *scheduled disinflation*. The annual emission rate starts at **8 %** and halves every two years until stabilising at **1 %** after year seven. This curve mirrors Bitcoin's scarcity narrative while allowing enough flow for new fortune seekers.

### Deflationary Offsets

1. **Fortune Sacrifice Burn** — When a holder permanently burns a Fortune NFT to extract its Essence, **10 %** of the associated $FORTUNE is burned, creating value for all holders.
2. **Fee Burn Split** — Each Fortune NFT secondary trade triggers a **4 %** fee. Half of that fee is instantly burned; the rest flows to the Treasury for strategic buy-backs.
3. **Swap Fee Loop** — The in-app points→$FORTUNE swap charges **1 %**; 50 % of the collected tokens are burned.

The net effect is a long-term deflationary bias once user growth outpaces emissions.

## 4.4 Utility Flywheel

1. **Create** — Users check fortunes, earn points pegged to their Fortune Reading.
2. **Convert** — Points auto-swap into $FORTUNE at periodic or on-demand cycles.
3. **Stake** — Holders lock $FORTUNE for Ascension tiers, receiving higher multipliers **and** validator fees.
4. **Spend** — $FORTUNE is used for festival tickets, exclusive AI prompt packs, and governance deposits.
5. **Burn / Recycle** — Sacrifices and fees remove supply, restarting the flywheel.

## 4.5 Treasury Management

The DAO-controlled Treasury receives revenue from:

* 2 % of every NFT trade (half of the 4 % fee)
* 0.5 % of each points→$FORTUNE swap
* Periodic validator slashing events

Funds are diversified into BTC, ETH, USDC and yield-bearing ETH-LSDs following a policy approved by governance every six months.

## 4.6 Governance Mechanics

* **Proposal Threshold:** 1 % of circulating $FORTUNE staked for 7 days.
* **Quorum:** 10 % of total staked supply.
* **Voting Power:** Quadratic up to 100 000 $FORTUNE, linear thereafter to limit whales.
* **Execution Timelock:** 48 hours; allows rage-quit before implementation.

## 4.7 Example Scenario

> *Case Study*: *Lia engages with our AI-powered Oriental divination daily, receiving personalized 天干地支 readings across all five life domains. The AI analyzes her 五行 elemental balance and 十神 relationships, earning her **12 000 Fortune Points**. Converting to **3 200 $FORTUNE** tokens, she stakes as Apprentice Mystic to help validate the AI's divination accuracy, earning **5% APR** while contributing to the fusion of Eastern wisdom and machine learning.*
