Trade or be traded.

Greetings!

***Final Trade** is a mockup - it has not gone live. This “greypaper,” or draft, outlines token and game mechanics to be developed through discussion and community practice.*

This paper integrates mechanics that would protect Final Trade tokens from being “pumped and dumped” - including staking, liquidity pools, and unique launch mechanics.

1. Introduction

Final Trade is a speculative strategy game that turns the memecoin market into an ecological battleground. Players influence the survival of genetically enhanced red-listed species through market speculation, reinforcing the idea that financial systems are akin to voting structures in an oligarchy. By integrating blockchain-based liquidity pools, DAO governance (group trades), and conservation incentives, Final Trade explores the potential of speculative finance as a tool for collective stewardship.

2. Problem Statement

• Market Phenomenon: Meme coins dominate trading volume, yet they remain largely speculative and detached from real-world impact. Example: $PEPE
• Challenges: Traditional markets encourage pump-and-dump cycles and extractive financial behaviors. Can this speculative "froth" be redirected toward meaningful ecological and social contributions?

3. Solution: Gameplay & Market Mechanics

• Game Mechanics: Players "battle" with species-backed tokens, executing buy/sell actions as combat moves. Market shifts determine winners, with the leading species at the end of a match becoming an NFT. Sample moves: Market Moves Cheat Sheet
• Market Dynamics: Speculation acts as a "vote" in an ecological struggle, reflecting real-world challenges in conservation.
• Toggle Between Individual & DAO Governance: Players can either trade independently or participate in collective governance via a DAO, similar to "Twitch Plays Pokemon."

4. Tokenomics

Token Launch & Liquidity Provision

• Initial Token Allocation: A fair launch with an initial liquidity pool (LP) provided by the project team and early supporters.

• Liquidity Pools: Incentivized LPs on decentralized exchanges ensure trading stability.

  Example: “Fortify the habitat—add $3TOED and $SOL to the liquidity pool to strengthen your species’ survival and claim trading fees.”

• Fee Structure: A 1% buy/sell fee funds conservation efforts and ecosystem maintenance. Example: Maga memecoin
