7 formal economics papers covering theory, evidence, and implementation of the SVRN Chain economic framework.
A compute-backed sovereign economic zone with Universal Basic Compute. Formalizes the one-way bridge, log-quadratic grant curve, hard-floor UBC, bonfire mechanism, quadratic-conviction governance, and universal sovereignty principle.
The living design document for the SVRN Chain. Covers the OP Stack fork architecture, one-way bridge mechanics, compute-basket pricing, UBC distribution, bonfire burning, governance, and constitutional protections.
Mathematical formalization of all 7 core equations: creator grant curve, bonfire burn, UBC allocation, quadratic voting, conviction weighting, sovereignty index, and one-way bridge pricing. Full derivations and parameter analysis.
Formal game-theoretic and mechanism design analysis. Models each mechanism as a game, characterizes Nash equilibria, assesses incentive compatibility, and identifies attack vectors. Comparison to Lalley-Weyl (2018) and existing token economics.
Hard empirical data supporting the framework: AI productivity gains (McKinsey, Accenture), small team economics, UBI experiments (Finland, Kenya, Stockton), cooperative models (Mondragon), creator economy extraction rates, and compute cost trends.
Comprehensive regulatory assessment: Howey Test analysis for UCU, money transmission requirements, US/EU tax implications, MiCA regulation, Wyoming Utility Token Act, employment law for AI citizens, and a full regulatory strategy.
Historical economic systems that inform the SVRN design: Bretton Woods capital controls (1944-1971), Mondragon cooperatives (1956-present), China's Special Economic Zones (1980-present), and UBI experiments worldwide.
