Token Utility

The TMA token is the core of Shimon Games’ ecosystem. It powers governance, serves as a universal payment method, and provides studios access to premium services. Key utilities include:

• Universal Payment Method: TMA tokens are used by studios to pay publishing fees and access premium services like advisory support and discounted fees. Players also use TMA tokens for seamless in-app purchases across all games on the platform, enabling liquidity and interoperability between game economies.
• DAO Governance and Voting: Token holders influence critical decisions like game onboarding and platform updates through decentralized governance. The VoteMarket allows token holders to rent or sell their voting power, enhancing participation while maintaining fairness through careful management of voting bribes.
• Token Staking for Governance and Onboarding: Token holders can stake TMA tokens to vote on which games get onboarded, creating a community-driven, democratic selection process for new projects.
• Paid Services for Game Studios: Studios can stake tokens to unlock premium services such as expert advisory support and reduced fees. Staking 1 million tokens grants access to these resources, aiding in game scaling and monetization.
• Airdrops and Staking Rewards: Active participants in governance and voting receive airdrops of game tokens, offering additional incentives for engaging with the platform and contributing to its development.
• Publishing Fees: Studios must pay publisher fees using TMA tokens, ensuring consistent demand for the token and embedding it into the core business model.
