Dual Token System
JPEG runs on a dual-token system designed to keep play fluid and ownership aligned. Pixels (PX) power daily interactions. $JPEG anchors the broader economy.Shares-for-Fees Model
The JPEG economy operates on a Shares-for-Fees model, ensuring 100% of the PX (Pixel) currency deposited by users is immediately allocated to the global prize pool. Platform and creator fees are paid in the form of shares, introducing controlled dilution to winning potential rather than reducing capital available for rewards.Key Benefits
- Capital Efficiency: 100% of user capital goes to the prize pool
- Transparency: All fees visible through share dilution
- Fairness: Early collectors rewarded through time discount mechanism
- Sustainability: Platform and creator fees via controlled dilution
How It Works
When users collect photos:- 100% of PX goes to the prize pool
- Creator shares are issued as royalties (typically 20% via
R_C) - Foundation shares are issued for platform operations (typically 10% via
R_F) - User shares are issued based on bet amount and time discount
