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.
GOO is not pegged to any asset. Its price is backed by verifiable on chain value. The floor price is defined by the treasury’s Bitcoin reserves, while the market may assign a premium based on protocol growth and yield generation.
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.
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
