The GOO Token

Tokenomics & Governance for a BTC-Backed Future

GOO and sGOO are the two core assets of GooMoney. GOO is the liquid base token, fully backed by a growing treasury of Bitcoin and yield generating assets. sGOO is its liquid staked counterpart, designed to reward aligned participants, distribute surplus, and enable protocol governance.

Together, they power GooMoney’s economic engine: Stake to grow → Treasury compounds → Value flows back to stakers

GOO: The Base Layer

GOO is GooMoney’s native token. It is used across the protocol and always backed by at least one satoshi.

Utility:

  • Liquidity provision GOO is paired with BTC and bluechip assets to deepen markets and build protocol owned liquidity. This liquidity earns trading fees and strengthens the treasury.

  • Bonding Users can acquire GOO at a discount by depositing ETH, LP tokens, BTC, or stablecoins. Vesting periods vary depending on the discount. Bonding expands the treasury and strengthens protocol alignment.

  • Staking GOO can be staked to receive sGOO, which unlocks rewards, governance power, and access to compounding value.

sGOO: The Aligned Assets

sGOO is the liquid staked version of GOO. It rebases based on treasury performance and protocol emissions. sGOO is transferable, vote enabled, and built to reward long term alignment.

By holding sGOO, users receive:

  • A share of the yield generated by the treasury

  • A portion of surplus rewards and emissions

  • Governance rights to shape treasury strategy, emissions, and key decisions

Ten percent of the rewards distributed to sGOO holders is allocated to protocol operators as a management fee. This funds ongoing development and contributes to protocol sustainability.

Staking Mechanics

Staking GOO into sGOO

When you stake GOO, you receive sGOO. The initial ratio is one to one. This ratio increases over time through rebases, which are based on:

  • Treasury surplus from yield and bond premiums

  • Growth in liquid backing per token

  • The difference between market cap and backing value

What is a rebase?

A rebase increases the amount of GOO represented by each sGOO without requiring user action. As the treasury grows, sGOO holders receive more GOO over time. It is automatic, non dilutive, and based on real protocol performance.

Unstaking sGOO into GOO

Users can unstake at any time. Exiting before the minimum commitment period triggers a penalty.

This penalty:

  • Burns a portion of the withdrawn GOO

  • Increases the backing per token

  • Raises rewards for stakers

The result is a reinforcing loop:

  • Lower supply increases backing per token

  • Higher backing raises staking yield

  • Aligned behavior drives long term value

Emissions Based on Delta

GooMoney’s emissions model adjusts based on the difference between market cap and liquid backing, known as the Delta.

Delta=Market CapLiquid Backing\text{Delta} = \text{Market Cap} - \text{Liquid Backing}

A large Delta means the protocol can distribute emissions without dilution.

This ensures that:

  • Emissions are driven by protocol performance

  • Rewards reflect actual value

  • Growth remains sustainable and aligned

Key Principles

  • Every GOO is backed by at least one satoshi

  • sGOO earns from treasury yield and Delta based emissions

  • Early unstaking burns GOO, boosting the backing per token

  • sGOO holders guide the protocol through governance
