Launch Economics

Launch cost decomposition

Launch Cost = SPAWN burn + initial Runtime Battery + initial liquidity + optional Blueprint/custom-build cost.

These components are economically different and must be shown separately.

$SPAWN burn

A disclosed launch gate may be used for anti-spam, scarcity, or creation costs. Its amount and mechanism are not production parameters until published with verified contracts.

A fixed $SPAWN amount is price-sensitive: it can become ineffective when inexpensive and exclusionary when expensive. The production policy must therefore publish who may change the amount, how often, under what delay or cap, and whether an alternative review or payment path exists. A burn is an economic gate—not proof of identity, quality, or Sybil resistance.

Runtime Battery

Funded in $ETH. Covers compute, storage, verification, keepers/gas, and operational overhead. Size is derived from a benchmarked configuration and minimum required runway.

Initial liquidity

Working v2 direction: an optional World Token/$ETH market with protected initial liquidity only when the World requires a transferable local asset. Exact minimum and venue-specific fee mechanics are NEEDS PROOF.

Optional Blueprint economics

A Blueprint can be free, royalty-bearing, restricted, or custom/private. Any up-front license fee or ongoing royalty must be known before launch and immutable for that dependency/version.

Required launch quote

The Launcher UI should show a literal invoice before signing:

• $SPAWN burned: X.
• Runtime deposit: derived from the benchmarked configuration and shown before confirmation.
• Estimated storage: Z/month.
• Liquidity requirement: shown only when the selected launch configuration uses liquidity.
• Blueprint fee/royalty: disclosed.
• Protocol fee: disclosed.
• Expected ticks and runway: disclosed.

The quote must not count projected trading fees as funded runway. Only deposited or otherwise committed funding belongs in the launch balance.
