Escape Velocity Token ($EV)

Purpose

$EV is the network-level token of Escape Velocity. It captures value generated by the protocol as a whole, not by individual launch tokens.

While creator fees sustain individual markets, $EV aligns long-term stakeholders with overall protocol usage.

A portion of these fees is automatically used to:

• buy $EV on the open market

• burn $EV permanently

This mechanism is:

• fully on-chain

• automatic

• proportional to real usage
