Conclusion: If you're bullish on $YAKU my observation is that it's undervalued relative to peers. Overview: YAKU is at the intersection of a Metaverse/ P2E Game. P2E is what will get people in the door, the utility/community is why they will stay. General Thoughts: sticking just to the tokenomics of the protocol, learn more about YAKU: https://www.yakushima.io/#avatars YAKU is currently implementing an interesting model of releasing the token w/out a price. Allowing users to stake and purchase in the secondary via @FamousFoxFed This ambiguity is a double edge sword as it has gamified the desire to earn $YAKU, which I believe has lead to an extremely strong % of individuals staking (80%+). Let's dive into the pros / cons of the tokenomics. Max Supply: 500,000,000 $YAKU Release Period: 2022-2024 The average person staking will earn: 2 $YAKU per bike - per day 6 $YAKU per capsule - per day 4 $YAKU per day for every avatar 12 $YAKU per day for each complete set of three you are holding (give or take 20%-50% depending on rarity/tier). In a two year deployment timeline, this will mean: A maximum of (estimates based on max usage) 30.6m $YAKU, 6.13% for motor-cycle staking 122.6m $YAKU, 24.53% for staking a full sets/combo 306.6m $YAKU, 61.32% for racing 40.2m $YAKU, 8.02 for DAO and prizes The functions of the $YAKU token within the Yakuverse will include: Renting Bikes, Spaces for Events *Purchasing upgrades Gambling @ YAKU casino Race betting Shopping Concerts / Events 10% of all tokens spent on items in the *metaverse store will be burned. Main Question: Are the tokenomics sound / does the price reflect the potential? Given the daily airdrop/staking yield is 30 $YAKU per complete set with a staked motorbike, a maximum total of ~210,000 $YAKU can be generated per day, 76,650,000 per year from these methods. Todays current prices have $YAKU at $0.15 USD which equals ... A Fully Diluted Market Cap of $75,000,000 for the $YAKU token. Assuming a 30% participation rate in the upgrade store 2.25m ($337.5k) $YAKU burned per year or .0045%. Comparatively $SLP ($0.01) from Axie has a MarketCap of $487,251,695 (96% down from the peak of $0.39) Lastly Solana comps like @SolChicksNFT $CHICKS ($0.011) has a Fully Diluted Market Cap of $111,754,132 (97.8% down from the peak of $0.5). @YakuCorp wisdom of having a low total supply + staking w/out value + burn + utility (P2E) may boost $YAKU to a top 5 spot in its class. There are so many other examples, but this is my take for now, DM with any questions, would love additional #thoughts
