Deflationary Mechanics

$EQUINOX token’s price value must be controlled in a sustainable manner. That’s why we are initiating deflationary mechanics to keep the price impact of inflationary mechanics as low as possible. To cut down the supply of $EQUINOX, we have planned various token burning mechanics. These mechanics should be categorized and grouped as below:

1. Make sure $EQUINOX provides value that cannot be found in fiat/crypto money. Usage of $EQUINOX will include, but is not limited to:

• Voting rights proportional with staking.

• In the amount of $EQUINOX staking, users will be able to have voting rights. Proof-of-stake approach in DAOs.

• Raffle or direct access to different projects' whitelist spots.

• Redeem for exclusive guaranteed-on-mint items (project collabs)

• Exclusive content on DAO chat and other NFTs' Discord communities

• Participate in auctions (1/1 NFTs & more)

2. Allow for many different use cases within the same system, this allows tokenomics to play a role in discovering product-market fit.

Gaming:

• Specifically gambling with $EQUINOX, earnings into DAO treasury to support developments and re-selling.

• Purchasing tickets for tournaments, such as poker or games

Treasury NFTs:

• Solminator DAO will buy popular NFTs and DAO members can join auctions via $EQUINOX to buy popular NFTs from the treasury

Exchange for $SOL via LP at reputable exchanges

Staking $EQUINOX for different tokens

Evolution Processes

Each Solminator NFT will be born with Level 1. However, Solminators want to evolve and transform into the superior levels; therefore they visit incubators. Level 1 & 2 Solminators can be sent into an incubator to get the superior roles. For the beginning, this will be used for incubators. In our innovative NFT evolution process, NFT holders can send their Solminator into an incubator and by burning $EQUINOX tokens you can evolve into a superior level. Evolution process will take 15 days. After every camp there is a 3 day cooling day, where buddies should rest before they go to the next camp.

While we are estimating the amount of $EQUINOX user will burn, we will get average of 3 scenarios:

• Best Case Scenario; 80% of inferior NFTs are evaluated into the superior NFT role.

• Optimal Scenario; 65% of inferior NFTs are evaluated into the superior NFT role.

• Worst Case Scenario; only 35% of inferior NFTs are evaluated into the superior NFT role.

Previous research shows that the total burning amount is the average of these 3 cases. Besides, there will be 2 available evolution processes for getting a superior role. The amount of $EQUINOX burned will affect the probability of evolution.

Probably Evolution

This is a light version of the transformation. In this process, It’s required to spend less $EQUINOX to acquire a supreme role. And, your buddy might get a supreme role with 50% probability. We are expecting below burning scenarios for this process.

Probably Evolution (50% success rate):

Evolution	Cost (in Token)	Best Case Burning	Optimal Burning	Minimum Burning	AVG Token Burning
Elemental > Mysterious	300	799,920	649,935	349,965	599,940
Mysterious > Machine	750	1,599,840	1,056,144	306,219	987,401
		2,399,760	1,706,079	656,184	1,587,341
Total Burning Optimized		4,799,520	3,412,159	1,312,369	3,174,683

Based on the daily staking rewards in order for an NFT holder to evolve his NFT, he needs 34 days to earn enough $EQUINOX rewards via staking his NFT. However, right after the LP is initiated, users can acquire the missing $EQUINOX amount via the liquidity pool at our partnered exchanges.

Supposedly Evolution

In this option we are aiming to burn more $EQUINOX by prerequisite the double amount of the light version. In this version, It’s required to spend more $EQUINOX to acquire a supreme role. And, your buddy might get a supreme role with 80% probability. We are expecting below burning scenarios for this process.

Supposedly Evolution (80% success rate):

Evolution	Cost (in Token)	Best Case Burning	Optimal Burning	Minimum Burning	AVG Token Burning
Elemental > Mysterious	450	1,199,880	974,903	524,948	899,910
Mysterious > Machine	1,125	2,399,760	1,584,217	459,329	1,481,102
		3,599,640	2,559,119	984,277	2,381,012
Total Burning Optimized		4,499,550	3,198,899	1,230,346	2,976,265

Based on the daily staking rewards in order for an NFT holder to evolve his NFT, he needs 68 days to earn enough $EQUINOX rewards via staking his NFT. However, right after the LP is initiated, users can acquire the missing $EQUINOX amount via the liquidity pool at our partnered exchanges.
