Economic Model

SEEDOS emission is epoch-based, sink-aware, capped, and guarded by GEO rather than minted per action. The economy distinguishes Essence-like gameplay credits, SEEDOS hard-layer settlement, Seed NFT ownership, treasury ETH, and protocol fees. Emission is not a blind faucet: cap-engine, dynamic inflation feedback, sink pressure, staking ratios, ecosystem stress, velocity, and emergency clamps all shape how much SEEDOS can move from ledger to chain in a settlement epoch.

Trust boundary

Trust boundary: users can inspect the settlement footprint and batch root, but the economic policy remains constrained by caps and circuit state before it reaches `mintBatch`.

Gameplay mutation remains in USK/Postgres unless explicitly settled.
On-chain state is used for ownership, receipts, governance execution, or proof.
Public copy must describe the boundary honestly, including what is not decentralized yet.

Contract surfaces

Contract surfaces: `SEEDOS.mintBatch`, `SEEDOS.mintBatchV2`, `SEEDOS.maxSupply`, staking funding, LP burn band, marketplace royalties.

Every surface should emit enough events for analytics and incident reconstruction.
Privileged functions should be role-gated, timelocked, or emergency-scoped depending on blast radius.
Batch, nonce, and root identifiers must remain replay-resistant across upgrades.

Operational assumptions

Operational assumption: the project should never depend on SEEDOS price speculation as its core loop; utility, sinks, identity, and world progression must carry demand.

Failure modes must degrade visibly rather than pretending the world is healthy.
Security posture takes priority over feature velocity when settlement or treasury risk is involved.
Docs, tests, and live proof widgets should evolve together with contract changes.
