The primary token economics will be based on direct staking mechanism. Specifically, staking will be tied to the access of the NUTS technology framework; where different participants within the NUTS platform are required to stake NUTS tokens in order to conduct specific functions ranging from issuance, distribution, discovery and exchange of financial instruments. In addition, staking will also be tied to the conditional state of smart contracts, referred to as contract lifecycle. The redeemability of tokens staked in smart contracts is subject to the changing status of financial instruments which are controlled by different roles within the NUTS platform. A successful completion of contract lifecycle would unlock the token balance at stake.
