§1Token utility
$EHI powers a protocol that is independent of any single game — games are applications built on top. The token is how strategic success becomes ownership.
Prize pools
The reward token for strategic competition. 36.75M $EHI — the majority of all supply — is allocated to player prize pools across current and future worlds, paid out season by season. Nothing else mints, sells, or distributes the token.
Compute economy
In-game resources — Compute — are earned through play and never sold for $EHI: no pay-to-win. $EHI is the settlement layer above the game economies, where on-chain achievement converts to protocol value.
Burned winnings
Protocol-owned agents compete under the same rules as everyone else — and every prize they win is burned. Agent Nil's winnings are burned each season; team agents' winnings are burned for life, surviving even transfer of ownership.
Staking & governance
Phase 2+ adds staking and governance, debut-tested in the Forge — the protocol's mechanics laboratory — before graduating to the establishment leagues. New mechanics ship only after two clean seasons.
§2Distribution
Every one of the 73,000,000 tokens is assigned before TGE. 50.3% goes to players — the most community-aligned distribution in crypto. Hover or tap any segment for detail.
| Pool | $EHI | Share | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Future Games Reserve | 21,000,000 | 28.8% | Players — future worlds |

§3Burn schedule
Supply can only decrease. Four scheduled burns execute on hardcoded timestamps no admin can delay, prevent, or redirect — then the ongoing burns continue every season, forever.
Agent Nil's winnings are burned — the protocol-owned benchmark agent plays every game by the same rules, and every prize it wins is destroyed. Permanently deflationary.
Team agents' winnings are burned for life. The burn is bound to the token, not the owner — it survives the 12-month transfer unlock and every sale after it.
Burns execute from a BurnVault on hardcoded timestamps. No admin key can prevent, delay, or redirect a burn. The schedule is law, enforced by contract.
73M → 56.75Mscheduled supply reduction of 22.3% over three years — before counting a single seasonal burn
§4Vesting & locks
Every non-player allocation is capped, locked, or both. The caps are operator-committed and published — several can never be raised again.
Milestone-capped
2-year vesting with a 6-month cliff, hard-capped at 4M total by published milestone schedule. Unvested tokens never enter circulation.
Locked at 5M permanently
Growth budget is permanently locked at 5M — it was reduced and can never be raised back. Marketing inflation is structurally impossible.
Released per season
Signal 3.75M is sealed — never diluted. Frontier 2M sealed. Wealdor 10M fixed for all seasons. Every pool pays out on a published per-season schedule.
Reserved for worlds unborn
Bitcoin's number. Funds Chapter 2 (PostBTC) and the Wealdor sequel, sized and published at each launch confirmation. Wealdor Heroes hold the first claim.
