# Economy / Tokenomics Sunflower Land operates at the intersection of **gaming and open markets**. Because **Web3 tokens and collectibles are freely tradable**, our design must ensure **long-term sustainability** and **protection against inflationary pressure.** Over four years of operation, we have refined a token model that is **transparent, independent, and community-aligned.** [View FLOWER tokenomics dashboard](https://sunflower-land.com/play/#/flower-dashboard) *** ### ๐Ÿ”‘ Core Principles **1. No Insider Allocations** * 0% FLOWER allocated to team, VCs, or insiders. * 100% of FLOWER supply is community-driven and priced by open markets. **2. Deflationary Design**\ FLOWER is continuously used across core in-game sinks: * Marketplace fees (5-20% of all in-game trades) * FLOWER Auctions * Gem Purchases - (50%) * Shops & upgrades **3. Rewards Based on Burns**\ Unlike inflationary โ€œplay-to-earnโ€ models, FLOWER rewards are only created when FLOWER is spent. * When FLOWER is spent, it returns to the rewards pool. On average, only `75%` of that FLOWER spent is cycled back into **player hands** reducing the circulating supply. **4. Seasonal Resource Burns (Chapters)** * Each Chapter introduces a **temporary resource token** (e.g. `Mermaid Scale`, `Timeshard`) * These can only be earned and spent **within 3 months** * At the end of the Chapter, the token **expires** and supply resets to `0` * This prevents long-term inflation and creates recurring demand *** ### ๐Ÿ’ฐ Team Revenue & Sustainability Sunflower Land is **independent (no VC funding)** and sustains itself through FLOWER purchases. * Team revenue = `50%` of fees from GEM purchases & `5%` from in-game marketplace trades * This ensures the team is incentivised to **grow adoption and utility** of FLOWER, not speculate on supply * We have no reliance on VC capital and short term horizons - we can plan for the future independently. *** ## ๐Ÿ” About the Token FLOWER is secured by Ethereum and **optimised for gameplay on BASE**, offering fast, low-cost, and seamless experiences for players. * **Network:** BASE * **Address:** `0x3E12b9d6A4D12cd9b4a6d613872d0Eb32f68b380` * **Total Supply:** `256,000,000` FLOWER (used for community rewards & liquidity) * **Circulating Supply:** `20,000,000` FLOWER * **Multi-chain Ready:** Supplies may vary across supported chains * **Bridging:** Support for Polygon and Ronin coming soon. {% hint style="info" %} The remaining `236,000,000` supply is reserved for future projects/partnerships - although is unlikely to ever surface. {% endhint %} ## :arrow\_up: Upgrade In May 2025, we upgraded the previous token (SFL) to FLOWER. All in-game SFL was automatically converted to FLOWER and players had a 6 month period to exchange out of game SFL at a 1:1 rate.\ \ As of October 28th, SFL is no longer compatible in-game. You can use tools such as [Quickswap](https://dapp.quickswap.exchange/swap/v3/0xD1f9c58e33933a993A3891F8acFe05a68E1afC05/0x3E12b9d6A4D12cd9b4a6d613872d0Eb32f68b380?chainId=137) to convert your SFL to FLOWER and bridge your FLOWER to a compatible network using [Stargate](https://stargate.finance/bridge) {% hint style="info" %} Also do your own research using third-party services. We do not support or maintain responsibility for these decentralised applications. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
