The OMCADE economy and roadmap: where it is used, and what comes next

3.1Where OMCADE is used

Items in games, and trades between players on the marketplace.
Studios' games pay the studio in OMCADE. Omen's own games, published as Astreyn, follow the rule below.

Note 1. “Planned” means the direction is set but the product doesn't take OMCADE yet. Terms are published here before it does.

3.2One rule for every product

Prices are in US dollars everywhere. Where the money goes depends only on who sells and what the buyer pays with.

Note 1. Omen's tools run AI on your own accounts, so Omen has no AI computing bill to pay. That's why they can accept OMCADE.

3.3What the design rests on

Omen's income: USD; Service fees and its own products, paid in dollars. From the day the pool opens, never from selling OMCADE.
Prices: USD; A $10 item costs $10, whichever way you pay.
Supply: Fixed; 1,000,000,000. New products add places to spend it, never new OMCADE.
VIP allocations: 3 of 15 points; 3 points of the 15% OMCADE fee size the weekly VIP allocations; the other 12 go into locked liquidity. VIP may change as the program grows. Any change is announced publicly before it takes effect, to everyone at the same time.

3.4The road to an economy that pays for itself

What has to be true for OMCADE to run on real use: people paying for things, a pool Omen can't take money out of, rules anyone can check, and more places to spend it.

Note 1. This roadmap is about how the platform works, not about OMCADE's market. It changes when plans change, and each change is recorded in the revision history.

3.5How Omen pays its bills

From launch, Omen runs on the 15% fee from purchases paid in dollars, and on its own games' sales. Until then, it's the 3% fee from before. It never needs to swap OMCADE for dollars to pay for anything. Both are small today, while the platform is in beta.
