Sustainability
The Self-Perpetuating Cycle
Core Concept
Sustainability is a design principle for the 3 ecosystem's long-term operational logic. It establishes a programmed economic cycle where assets generated by the system's operations are automatically recycled back into designated modules, creating a self-reinforcing pattern.
Key Mechanisms
This principle is implemented through two core components:
The Distribution Engine: An automated module that collects a portion of the assets generated by the protocol's operations and allocates them according to its programmed policy. Its logic is influenced by other system parameters, such as the Redirect Variable (RV).
Purpose-Oriented Distributors (PODs): Designated channels that receive assets (primarily ETH) from the Distribution Engine to fulfil specific programmed functions:
Developers POD: Allocates assets to fund protocol development and security.
Creatives POD: Allocates assets to fund communication and community initiatives.
Creditors POD: Allocates assets to holders of Aged 3Pacts.
Reserve Booster POD: Allocates assets back to the Protocol-Controlled Reserve Vault.
Liquidity Booster POD: Allocates assets to support liquidity parameters in external markets.
System Outcome
For a Participant: The structure is designed so that different types of participation may align with different distribution channels.
For the Protocol: It creates an automated operational cycle. The protocol is designed to use a portion of its generated assets to fund its own development, security, and operational parameters, aiming for long-term operational continuity.
Sustainability is a principle for an automated economic cycle where system outputs are programmatically redirected as inputs for continued operation.
