Token Economics
TokenMesa's automated token economics create sustainable value directly tied to service usage - revenue drives buybacks, usage drives demand, and both strengthen token value.
Revenue-Driven Mechanics
Unlike speculative tokens, TokenMesa economics are powered by actual service usage through two payment flows:
Flow 1: Pay with USDC
User pays USDC → Service delivered → Revenue to TokenMesa contract → Revenue Vesting Buyback → Burn → Service tokens to provider
Flow 2: Pay with Service Token
User buys service tokens on market → Redeem tokens for service → Service delivered → Service tokens to TokenMesa contract → Burn → Remaining tokens to provider
Flow 3: Pay with Any Token (Coming Soon)
User pays with any ERC20 token → Service delivered → Token automatically swaps to USDC through Uniswap → Revenue to TokenMesa contract → Revenue Vesting Buyback → Burn → Service tokens to provider
All flows create value: USDC/any-token payments drive buybacks and burns, while direct token payments drive market demand and usage.
How It Works
1. Service Payment Arrives
Users pay with USDC, service tokens, or any ERC20 token (coming soon)
USDC/any-token revenue enters vesting schedule to prevent price jumps
Service token payments available for immediate withdrawal (no vesting needed)
2. Revenue Vesting Buyback
Vested USDC automatically buys service tokens from Uniswap pool
Revenue vesting buybacks spread over vesting period (7-30 days recommended, 0 to disable)
Slippage protection prevents price manipulation (5-10% tolerance recommended, 0 to disable)
Creates consistent buying pressure instead of volatile spikes
3. Deflationary Burn
Percentage of service tokens permanently destroyed (2-5% recommended)
Reduces circulating supply with every withdrawal
Can be set to 0 to disable
Burns tied to actual revenue, not arbitrary schedules
4. Token Distribution
Remaining service tokens sent to provider's recipient address
Provider uses tokens to fulfill service obligations
Users redeem tokens for services priced in USDC
5. Service Value Backing
Tokens redeemable for real services creates intrinsic value floor
Market price can exceed service value during high demand
Price stabilization (coming soon) enforces floor protection

Complete Cycle Example
Scenario: AI API service with 5% burn rate, 7-day vesting, $1 per token service redemption value
Week 1:
User pays $1,000 USDC for API credits
Revenue enters 7-day vesting schedule
~$143 vests per day, turning into constant buying pressure as withdrawals occur
Week 2:
Day 8: $1,000 fully vested, withdrawal triggered
$1,000 USDC automatically buys ~1,000 service tokens from Uniswap pool (buying pressure)
5% burn: 50 tokens destroyed permanently
95%: 950 tokens sent to service provider
Provider uses tokens to fulfill $1,000 worth of API services
Impact:
Buying pressure: $1,000 USDC purchased tokens from market
Supply reduction: 50 tokens permanently removed
Why This Creates Value
Tied to Real Revenue: Every withdrawal is backed by actual service payments, not speculation
Consistent Demand: Service redemption creates constant token demand as users access services
Supply Reduction: Burns permanently decrease supply, benefiting all token holders proportionally
Market + Service Value: Token price reflects both market demand AND service redemption value
Predictable Economics: Service providers can forecast buyback timeline and token price impact
