How is Pluton (PLU) emitted?
Every time a customer shops with their Plutus Card, they earn cashback in the form of Pluton (PLU).
The percentage back a customer receives depends on their Subscription Plan and Staking Level.
Minimum Rewards you will receive:
- 3% PLU Cashback
- 1 Perk
Maximum Rewards you will receive:
- 8% PLU Cashback
- 8 Perks
This PLU is emitted from the Pluton Rewards Pool (~17.15m tokens). As more people use the product, the number of people wanting to stake PLU for its in-app benefits also increases (i.e. demand).
Increased demand for PLU directly impacts its value which, in turn, reduces the rate at which PLU is emitted from the Rewards Pool. As a result, PLU is a deflationary token which ensures the longevity of the Rewards Programme.
The current circulating supply of Pluton is 1.85m. It only takes a small number of users to consume this supply.
What is the maximum number of stakers you could have per Staking Level?
It would take just 7,400 customers on the Hero Staking Level to consume all 1.85m PLU in circulation, or, just 925 customers on G.O.A.T.
- Hero = 7,400
- Veteran = 3,700
- Legend = 1,850
- G.O.A.T = 925
Tokenomics were designed to maintain a low circulating supply by having a desirable utility and a rising difficulty level to ensure longevity of rewards.
