Player & Creator Economics

Mythos aligns player ownership with the MYTH governance token, DAO incentives, and runtime fee mechanics optimized for high-frequency gameplay.

MYTH Token Utility

• Governance: Vote on ecosystem onboarding, marketplace fees, and cross-game reward pools through the Mythos DAO.
• Staking & Incentives: DAO proposals channel MYTH rewards to featured games, ensuring creators and competitive players share upside from new drops.
• Marketplace Medium: MYTH powers marketplace escrows, DMarket orders, and bulk crafting costs.

Fee Model

• Weight-based fees rely on WeightToFee, scaling with the higher of execution weight or proof size, then multiplied by FEE_MULTIPLIER = 7 for predictable cost ceilings.
• Deposits for NFT metadata and attributes are set to zero, encouraging frequent cosmetic updates without penalizing studios.

Adoption Metrics

• Since launch, DotLake recorded 3.3M Mythos transactions and 3.6M legacy accounts bridged into Polkadot, providing immediate liquidity for creators.
• 400k+ monthly active players give live-service titles enough throughput to experiment with leaderboards, loot boxes, and dynamic pricing.

Balancing Tips

1. Seasonal Treasury Allocations: Use DAO proposals to top up prize pools ahead of marquee events (e.g., NFL kickoff).
2. Dynamic Pricing: Monitor DotLake’s fee analytics to adjust MYTH sinks or faucets week over week.
3. Onboarding Subsidies: Pair free-mint NFTs with sponsor-funded MYTH airdrops using pallet_escrow and pallet_multibatching for mass distribution.
