# Economy

The Oxya Origin economy is a carefully designed ecosystem that balances progression, interoperability, and long-term sustainability, powered by the native token $OXYZ and premium game currencies (OXYA only for now).

### **$OXYZ as the Ecosystem's Heart**

* Acts as a unifying currency across all games in the ecosystem.
* Managed through a [central bank](#the-bank-mission-statements) to control inflation via a **bonding curve**.
* Limited supply ensures long-term value, with demand scaling as new games and players join.

### **Game Currencies**

* Each game, like *Road to Genesis,* features its own premium in-game currency (here, OXYA).
* Premium currencies are earned by season pass holders and Avatar owners through gameplay and used to craft collectibles.

### **Crafted Assets**

* **In-Game Crafted Assets**: Earned through progression with unique stats and qualities that impact gameplay.
* **On-Chain Collectibles**: Crafted on **Lands**, minted as NFTs, and fully tradable. These items are purely cosmetic or collectible, avoiding pay-to-win mechanics.
* **HeadQuarters** assets are exceptions, where crafted items directly contribute to strategic gameplay in a competitive, resource-driven PvP environment.

## **The Bank: Mission Statements**

The **Bank** serves as the backbone of the **Oxya Origin economy**, ensuring economic stability, fostering player engagement, and maintaining the sustainability of the ecosystem. Its key missions include:

1. **Facilitating Token Exchange**: Seamless conversion between **$OXYZ** and **OXYA** ensures liquidity, accessibility, and smooth in-game economic activities.
2. **Staking and Rewards**: Manages staking programs for eligible ecosystem assets, rewarding players with OXYA tokens and encouraging active participation.
3. **Economic Stability**: Maintains a sustainable financial system by balancing the supply of $OXYZ and OXYA, minimizing inflation and speculation.
4. **Rewarding Engagement**: Incentivizes free-to-play players with OXYA earnings across game modes, nurturing an inclusive and thriving community.
5. **Enhancing Interconnectivity**: Functions as the central hub connecting gameplay, crafting, and trading for a cohesive economy.

## **The Bank's Policy Instruments**

The Bank employs sophisticated tools to achieve its mission and manage the interplay between OXYA, $OXYZ, and market dynamics:

**1. Fixed OXYA/USD Exchange Rate**

* OXYA is pegged at **1 OXYA = 0.01 USD (temporary rate)**, protecting players from market speculation and ensuring price stability for in-game activities.

**2. $OXYZ/OXYA Exchange Rate**

* Calculated as:\
  \&#xNAN;**$OXYZ/OXYA = $OXYZ/USDC ÷ OXYA/USD**
* Adjustments align with $OXYZ's market price, ensuring OXYA maintains its fixed USD value. For example, if **$OXYZ = 0.025 USDC**, the exchange rate becomes **$OXYZ/OXYA = 25**.

**3. OXYA/$OXYZ Exchange Rate**

* Determined by a **virtual Automated Market Maker (vAMM)**. The vAMM:
  * Absorbs market fluctuations and smooths $OXYZ outflows.
  * Prevents bank runs by dynamically increasing $OXYZ prices when OXYA demand surges.
  * Protects against arbitrage by ensuring OXYA/$OXYZ remains below the inverse of $OXYZ/OXYA.

**4. Virtual Trades and Reserves**

* The Bank replenishes $OXYZ reserves by conducting virtual trades, removing OXYA from circulation.
* The **bonding curve mechanics** (XY = k) ensure dynamic price adjustments based on reserve balances, stabilizing the ecosystem.

## **The vAMM Mechanism**

* **Bonding Curve**: Governed by the invariant **XY = k**, where X = OXYA reserves, Y = $OXYZ reserves, and k is a constant.
* **Dynamic Pricing**: Exchange rates fluctuate with reserve ratios. For example, exchanging x OXYA yields:\
  **y = Y - k / (X - x)**
* **Refilling Reserves**: Virtual trades add $OXYZ and remove OXYA, balancing supply and demand to maintain stability.
