TokenomicsOne billion $VIRIO · fixed supply · zero inflation

The token that powers Virio.

$VIRIO is one token across every EVM chain Virio runs on. Stake it on your chain of choice, earn real fee-token yield where you staked. No VC round, no inflation, no NFTs, and every LP token burns the moment it's minted.

The 30-second version

Four things to remember.

If you only read one section, read this one.

Stake 1:1

Stake N VIRIO, get N stVIRIO — a regular token. Burn it any time to get your VIRIO back. No NFTs, no lockup, no decay math.

Real fee yield

60% of every protocol fee streams to stVIRIO holders in the original fee token (USDC etc.) — not minted, not diluted.

Stake on any chain

VIRIO lives on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon at launch. Stake on the chain you're on and earn that chain's fees — no bridging.

Burn-on-deposit LP

Every LP token from the launch bucket is sent to a dead address the moment it's minted. Liquidity grows, but never withdraws.

Allocation

Where every $VIRIO goes.

One billion tokens, split across ten buckets. The community gets the majority — by design.

How many tokens are actually in the wild.

Just because a billion exist doesn't mean a billion are floating around. Here's roughly what's circulating, when.

In plain English: At launch only about a third of the supply exists in the open market — the rest unlocks over five years. No insider can sell anything before month 6.
Multichain

One token, every chain.

$VIRIO follows the xERC20 standard. There's no 'wrapped' or 'bridged' version — every VIRIO is the canonical VIRIO, just temporarily resident on whichever chain you're on. Bridging burns on the source and mints on the destination, so total supply across every chain is always exactly 1,000,000,000.

How VIRIO moves between chains

total supply −1,000
Destination chain
Mint 1,000 VIRIO
total supply +1,000
Σ totalSupply across every chain = 1,000,000,000(always)
In plain English: You can't accidentally end up with two different VIRIOs. There's one token. It just moves — like sending USDC between exchanges.
Stake locally

Earn where you stake

Each chain has its own self-contained loop: a Virio manager collects fees, a fee distributor splits them 60/25/15, and 60% streams to stVIRIO holders on that same chain in the same token the fee was paid in.

  • Stake on Base → earn Base's USDC
  • Stake on Arbitrum → earn Arbitrum's USDC
  • Split across chains for diversified yield
Day-one bridge is LayerZero V2. xERC20 lets more bridges (Hyperlane, Across, CCIP) be added later under per-bridge rate limits — no token migration, no redeploy.
How $VIRIO makes money

Stake it. Earn real fees.

Staking is a simple 1:1 swap. Drop in VIRIO, get back stVIRIO — a regular ERC-20 you can hold, trade, or use as collateral. While you hold it, you earn a pro-rata share of every fee Virio collects on that chain.

stVIRIO

The 1:1 stake receipt

Stake VIRIO → mint stVIRIO 1:1. Burn stVIRIO → redeem VIRIO 1:1. That's the whole thing. stVIRIO is a transferable ERC-20 with voting power, so you can stack it on top of other DeFi while it earns.

stake(10,000 VIRIO) → 10,000 stVIRIO
unstake(10,000 stVIRIO) → 10,000 VIRIO
  • Pro-rata fee-token yield (USDC and any other token Virio collects)
  • Governance votes via ERC20Votes on stVIRIO
  • Unstake any time (a short cooldown can be added later if needed)
In plain English: Think of stVIRIO like an LP token. You drop VIRIO in, get a receipt out. Your receipt earns yield automatically. When you want your VIRIO back, you hand the receipt in.
Fee split

Where every fee ends up

Every protocol fee is automatically split three ways on-chain.

VIRIO buyback → Safety Moduleon-market bid on the local DEX
15%
Buyback floor: 15% of every fee becomes a permanent on-market bid for VIRIO on the chain that collected it. At year-3 base revenue that's ~$3.6M/year of automatic buy pressure across chains.
For merchants

Stake $VIRIO, pay less in fees.

The more $VIRIO a merchant stakes, the cheaper Virio becomes for them. At 1M staked, the flat fee is waived entirely.

Staked $VIRIOProtocol feeFlat fee per charge
No stake0.25%(25 bps)$1.00
10,000 VIRIO0.20%(20 bps)$1.00

1,000,000 VIRIO0.10%(10 bps)$0.10
5,000,000 VIRIO0.05%(5 bps)Waived
In plain English: A merchant doing $1M/month in volume saves ~$900/month on protocol fees by staking 50k $VIRIO — plus a per-charge flat-fee discount, and earns USDC yield on top.
What Virio will earn

The revenue that gets shared.

These are the assumptions feeding holder earnings. Average charge $50, 1.5 charges per relationship per month.

What you could earn

Two ways $VIRIO pays you.

Real USDC yield from fees, plus the token's own appreciation as Virio grows. Numbers below are illustrative scenarios — not promises.

USDC yield per 10,000 stVIRIO / year

Assumes 125M stVIRIO outstanding across all chains, 60% of fees → stakers.

In plain English: If you held 10,000 stVIRIO through a year-3 base-case scenario, you'd earn ~$1,152 in USDC — without selling a single token.

Worked example

Buy 100k $VIRIO at $0.30 → stake all of it

$30,000 cost basis. Two illustrative scenarios at a 40× price-to-fees multiple.

Year 3 · Base case
$108k≈ 3.6×

Token value $96k + ~$12k accumulated USDC yield

Year 3 · Bull case
$549k≈ 18×

Token value $488k + ~$61k accumulated USDC yield

Illustrative only. Token markets are volatile and these numbers depend on Virio hitting its revenue scenarios — they are not promises or guarantees.

Launch

How $VIRIO goes live.

Public sale only. No private rounds, no sweetheart pricing.

1
No VC round

Investor reserve (5%) is only drawn for strategic partners. Anything unsold returns to the community at month 24.

2
Public sale

50M VIRIO offered openly — no allowlist, no private pricing. 25% unlocks at TGE; the rest streams linearly over 9 months. Expected clear $0.10–$0.30, raising $5–15M.

3
DEX liquidity

Uniswap V3 pools on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon at TGE. Every LP token from the launch bucket is burnt the instant it is minted — liquidity grows but can never be removed.

4
Listings

Tier-2 CEX at month 1; tier-1 conditional on volume.

5
Launch FDV

$50M – $300M. Initial circulating market cap $16M – $96M.

Safeguards

Why this is built to not blow up.

Every common token launch failure mode has a specific mitigation. Here they are.

LP tokens burn on deposit → no rug surface

Every LP token created from the launch bucket is sent to a dead address the moment it's minted. The pool can grow forever, but no one — team included — can ever pull liquidity out.

20% insider footprint, no early unlocks

Team + creator + investors + advisors = 20% of supply. Nothing unlocks before month 6.

The treasury sits in a Vultisig

A 48-hour timelock sits in front of every spend.

Audits before launch

Code4rena and Once review every contract pre-TGE. Reports published.

Sybil filters on the airdrop

Per-month claim filters are tunable, so farmers can't drain the community bucket.
