6.2 Tokenomics and Incentive Scheme

The MAN token underpins Matrix’s economic engine, driving utility across operations and aligning incentives for all stakeholders.

Use of MAN

Function	Description
Platform Fees	Micro-fees (0.5%) for asset creation, auctions, and governance actions
Deflation Mechanism	Buyback and burn protocol triggered by fee revenue
Governance Rewards	Incentives for active voting and proposal creation
Staking Yield	Enhanced voting power and proposal rights for MAN stakers
Ecosystem Grants	Foundation reserves for community initiatives and developer funding

Every incentive mechanism is automatically executed via Intelligent Contracts, minimizing manual intervention and boosting transparency. For example, in governance rewards, once a participant casts a vote on a proposal, the contract automatically distributes MAN tokens based on voting weight. If the participant is also the proposer, their reward adjusts dynamically based on the proposal’s approval rate—encouraging high-quality submissions.

Incentive Scheme

• Governance Participation: Periodic rewards for active voters and proposal authors

• Content Creation: Incentives for educational media, analytics, and community engagement

• Development Contributions: Grants for protocol improvements and feature implementations
