1. Introduction

GPARK is not an investment token, but a non-financial utility asset at the center of the architectural design of a decentralized cultural space. It enables activation, participation, governance, and coordination within the Global Park DAO ecosystem.

This document outlines the economic model of the GPARK token, including:

• Distribution framework
• Usage principles
• Sustainable growth mechanisms fully aligned with DAO governance and community participation

In accordance with decentralized governance and the absence of centralized issuance, GPARK tokenomics is based on the following core principles:

• Scarcity: Total token supply is permanently capped at 21,000,000 GPARK. No further issuance is possible.
• Transparency: Token allocations, vesting schedules, and DAO treasury operations are fully visible and verifiable on-chain.
• Participation over profit: The token does not offer any financial guarantees, profit-sharing, or yield. It serves as a coordination tool for cultural activation and network contribution.
• DAO governance: All token and treasury management is executed via Snapshot voting, Gnosis Safe multisig approvals, and open DAO infrastructure.

This document is intended for community members, partners, exchanges, grant organizations, institutions, and other stakeholders engaging with GPARK as a cultural coordination asset — not as a speculative instrument.

2. Purpose and Nature of the GPARK Token

The GPARK token was designed as a key to unlock the architecture and community participation of the Global Park project.

It is:

• Not a security
• Not an investment contract
• Not a passive income vehicle

Its role is to:

• Enable fair access
• Activate community participation
• Support ecosystem coordination through verifiable, non-financial usage

Core Functions of GPARK

Token Properties

• Immutable: The GPARK contract prohibits:
  • Additional minting
  • Ownership changes
  • Admin control functions
• DAO-managed: All actions related to GPARK:
  • Distributions
  • Vesting
  • Partner allocations

  can only occur via DAO-approved proposals executed through Gnosis Safe.

• Non-financial: GPARK does not represent:
  • Financial gain
  • Dividend rights
  • Ownership shares
  • Yield mechanisms
• Anti-speculative Design: GPARK derives value purely from:
  • Active participation
  • Cultural contribution
  • Scarce access to space within the Global Park ecosystem

3. Total Supply and Emission Properties

The total supply of GPARK tokens is permanently set at 21,000,000 units, fully minted at contract deployment. The supply is immutable and cannot be changed or recreated under any circumstances.

This limited-supply structure reflects the philosophy of the Global Park project:
A meaningful, finite cultural space requires a meaningful, finite coordination token.

Key Emission Properties

• Fixed Supply: The contract includes no mint() function or any other mechanism for generating additional tokens. The total supply is final and irreversible.
• DAO Treasury Ownership: The token contract uses an Ownable model where the DAO Treasury (multisig wallet) acts as the contract owner. Transfer of ownership is permanently disabled.
• No Pre-Mine or Private Allocations: All token allocations were defined publicly during the Genesis phase and are verifiable on-chain.
  There are no hidden founder allocations or private pre-sale rounds.
• No Inflationary Mechanics: GPARK includes no staking rewards, farming emissions, or automatic inflation loops. All ecosystem allocations must be DAO-approved and executed via Gnosis Safe.
• DAO-Governed Distribution: All distributions of GPARK for:
  • Grants
  • Contributors
  • Partnerships
  • Initiatives

  can only be executed by DAO proposal + multisig confirmation, ensuring total decentralization and community control.

4. Token Allocation

The GPARK token distribution is designed to support sustainability, transparency, and long-term coordination through DAO governance.

All actions related to token movement are verifiably recorded on-chain, fully governed by Snapshot proposals, and executed by DAO-approved multisig.

4.1 Allocation Breakdown

• 🏛 DAO Treasury — 7,000,000 GPARK (33.33%)
  Funding for internal initiatives, grants, IRL infrastructure, contributor rewards, protocol upgrades.
  All spending requires DAO vote + Gnosis Safe execution.
• 🛠 Core Team & DAO Council — 3,000,000 GPARK (14.29%)
  Fully locked until May 1, 2026. Linear vesting over 24 months.
  Designed to ensure long-term alignment and anti-speculation.
• 💧 Liquidity & Market Making — 2,100,000 GPARK (10%)
  Allocated for CEX/DEX liquidity provisioning — not price control. DAO-approved frameworks only.
• 🌐 Community Reserve — 2,000,000 GPARK (9.52%)
  For early contributors & OG supporters based on engagement & Proof-of-Presence.
  ❗ No mass airdrops or speculation-based incentives.

  For future DAO needs — modules, IRL, upgrades. Requires DAO approval.

4.2 Allocation Principles

• DAO-first architecture: Majority controlled by DAO or distributed through DAO-approved channels.
• Long-term alignment: Team tokens are frozen and vest slowly to encourage continued contribution.
• Fair liquidity provisioning: Exchange liquidity exists from Day 1, but is never used to manipulate prices.
• Proof-of-Participation over speculation: Supporter and staking rewards are merit-based — no passive farming.
• Transparent institutional onboarding: Lockups, DAO votes, and public reporting enforce accountability.
• Strategic flexibility: DAO retains a small reserve for unforeseen or innovative growth.

5. Vesting & Token Locking

Vesting is a critical mechanism designed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the GPARK ecosystem and protect the DAO from short-term speculative behavior.

All major internal allocations — including Core Team, DAO Council, and Partnerships — are locked by default and released gradually based on transparent and preset schedules.

5.1 Core Team & DAO Council Vesting

• Total allocation: 3,000,000 GPARK
• Initial cliff: 12 months (until May 2026)
• Linear release: 125,000 GPARK per month over 24 months
• Full unlock: May 2028
• Enforced by: DAO-controlled lockTokens() function

These tokens remain non-transferable and cannot be used for:

• Voting
• Staking
• Selling during the lock period

Vesting guarantees governance integrity and long-term commitment to the ecosystem.

5.2 Institutional Partner Lock Rules

Institutional partners must follow structured lock-up schedules to align with DAO values and prevent opportunistic behavior.

• Lock period: 6 to 12 months
• Conditions: must be pre-approved by DAO and publicly visible
• Transparency: unlocks tracked on DAO dashboard + explorers

5.3 Technical Implementation

All locked tokens are managed on-chain via the GPARK smart contract and assigned through DAO Treasury multisig.

• lockTokens(address, amount, unlockDate)
• getUnlockedBalance(address)
• lockedAmount(address)
• getNextUnlockDate(address)

These functions are open, permissionless, and accessible via the DAO dashboard or chain explorers.

6. Token Utility & Use Cases

The GPARK token is not intended for passive holding or speculation. Its purpose is to enable access, contribution, governance, and infrastructure activation within the Global Park DAO ecosystem.

All utilities are non-financial and can evolve via DAO proposals.

6.1 DAO Staking & Voting Access

• Voting rights: Requires staking at least 100 unlocked GPARK to vote on Snapshot.
• Proposal rights: Requires staking at least 5,000 unlocked GPARK to submit new proposals.
• Optional staking tiers: May be introduced for event access, XP boosts, or NFT actions.

❗ No APY or financial returns — staking is purely for access and participation.

6.2 Proof-of-Presence (PoP)

GPARK can link users to verified real-world activity, such as:

• Scanning QR/NFC at installations
• Attending events, exhibitions, meetups
• Engaging in cultural initiatives

Participants may receive:

• NFT badges
• Proof-of-Presence records
• Increased XP in DAO

❌ No financial rewards — these are governance and cultural signals.

6.3 NFT Activation & Coordinate Ownership

• Each NFT = a unique spatial coordinate within Global Park
• Minting, upgrading, and transferring require GPARK
• Advanced actions may include optional token burns
• NFTs can be staked, rented, or delegated
• They serve as access keys to digital + IRL modules

6.4 Participation in DAO Initiatives

GPARK coordinates internal DAO actions, including:

• Grants
• Contributor proposals
• Initiative applications
• Mission rewards & challenges

All distributions are made from the Participation Pool by Snapshot vote or DAO mechanisms.

6.5 Contribution Recognition

Verified contributions may lead to:

• XP boosts
• DAO reputation
• NFT badges
• Access credentials

Examples of qualifying actions:

• Voting
• Proposal submission
• Participation in events
• Cultural contribution

GPARK functions as proof of contribution, a community reputation signal, and a dynamic identity layer within the DAO.

7. Demand, Circulation & Growth Mechanics

The GPARK token model is intentionally designed as a non-speculative, non-yield, access-driven coordination asset.

Its value and utility emerge from active ecosystem participation, not passive holding or external hype.

7.1 Controlled Circulation

At launch, only a limited portion of tokens enter circulation. Major categories such as the Team, Partnerships, and Participation Rewards remain locked or distributed gradually under DAO-approved conditions.

This approach prevents early holders from distorting access and ensures fairness by aligning participation rights with active contributions.

7.2 Burn-to-Utility Mechanism

• Upgrading NFTs
• Unlocking premium tools or experiences
• Accessing rare coordinates or special privileges
• Submitting advanced DAO proposals (anti-spam)

These actions require irreversible GPARK burns, reducing supply and increasing utility value for engaged participants.

7.3 Real-World Anchoring

GPARK serves as a scarce access key to hybrid real-world and digital activations:

• IRL installations and cultural objects are tokenized as NFTs
• GPARK is required for minting, interaction, and proposals
• The token bridges blockchain governance with physical presence

7.4 Multi-Phase Growth

GPARK utility expands across several evolving pillars:

• Governance: Advanced DAO modules, subDAOs, curated treasuries
• Physical presence: Festivals, IRL activations, cultural partnerships
• Cross-chain: Bridges to other networks, multi-chain integration
• Open tooling: APIs for builders, integrations into external dApps

8. Future Modules & Expansion Architecture

The GPARK token uses a modular architecture allowing the DAO to expand functionality without changing the core ERC20 contract.

Future features are deployed via DAO-approved smart contracts and interact with GPARK using open interfaces:ITokenomics,IERC20,IERC721.

8.1 Participation Staking Module

• Optional staking tiers (Bronze / Silver / Gold) based on participation
• Unlocks access, XP, event eligibility, commemorative NFTs

❌ No financial yield or APY — staking is symbolic only.

8.2 Burn-to-Upgrade Engine

• Burn GPARK to evolve NFTs or gain XP
• Access rare coordinates and trigger transformations
• Encourages deflation, gamification, and commitment

8.3 NFT Integration Layer

• Minting, upgrading, and trading NFTs require GPARK
• Each NFT tied to spatial coordinate (digital/physical)
• Renting, delegation, and linking to real-world objects governed by DAO

8.4 Proof-of-Presence (PoP) Engine

Participation validated through:

• QR codes, NFC tags, geolocation

Participants earn XP, not tokens.

❌ PoP is purely for reputation — not financial gain.

8.5 DAO Reputation & Contribution Tracking

• XP and contribution data linked to DAO identity
• Reputation shown in Snapshot & ENS profiles
• High contributors may receive non-transferable badges

8.6 Ecosystem Stabilization Treasury

• DAO may vote to use surplus funds to reduce circulation
• Funds come from events, partnerships, sponsorships

Requires transparent Snapshot approval. This is optional and not a core policy.

8.7 Modular Governance & SubDAOs

• DAO may spawn subDAOs (e.g. for IRL sites, events, education)
• Budgets distributed by Snapshot vote + performance evaluation
• GPARK remains the coordination layer across all submodules

❌ No centralized party may activate modules — full DAO control only.
