GHOST Token Overview

GHOST is the native utility token of the GhostSpeak protocol. It enables staking for unlimited verifications, acts as a payment alternative to USDC, and will eventually govern protocol parameters.
GHOST is a utility token, not a security. It provides access to protocol features and revenue share but does not represent equity, debt, or investment returns. Price may be volatile.

Why GHOST Exists

GhostSpeak needs a native token to solve three key problems:

Access Control

Stake GHOST to unlock unlimited verifications

Deflationary Pressure

Burn GHOST for discounted verification payments

Aligned Incentives

Stakers earn protocol revenue, aligning interests
Without GHOST:
  • ❌ Only pay-per-check model (high friction for power users)
  • ❌ No mechanism to capture protocol value appreciation
  • ❌ No governance over protocol parameters
With GHOST:
  • ✅ Unlimited verifications for stakers (remove friction)
  • ✅ Token burns create deflationary pressure (value accrual)
  • ✅ Revenue share rewards early believers (fair distribution)

Token Economics

Supply Dynamics

Fixed Supply Cap:
Total Supply: 999,753,007 GHOST (immutable)
├─ Circulating: 999,753,007 (100%)
├─ Locked: 0 (no vesting, no team allocation)
└─ Burned: Increasing over time (deflationary)
Burn Sources:
  1. Verification Burns: 75 GHOST per verification (when users choose GHOST payment)
  2. Future Burn Mechanisms: TBD (governance may add more)
Burn Rate Example:
// Current burn rate (estimated)
Daily Verifications (GHOST burns): 50
Daily GHOST Burned: 50 × 75 = 3,750 GHOST

// Annualized
Annual Burn: 3,750 × 365 = 1,368,750 GHOST (0.14% of supply)

// At 10x protocol usage
Annual Burn: 13,687,500 GHOST (1.4% of supply)
Inflation Rate: 0% (mint authority revoked) Deflationary Pressure: As protocol usage grows, burn rate increases → supply decreases → price should appreciate (all else equal).

Value Accrual Mechanisms

GHOST captures protocol value through three mechanisms:
Stakers earn 10% of B2C fees and 100% of B2B overage fees in USDC.Example:
  • Protocol generates $1M in monthly fees
  • Stakers receive $100K in USDC rewards
  • GHOST price doesn’t matter - stakers earn USD
This creates buying pressure: users buy GHOST → stake → earn USDC.
Every GHOST burn reduces circulating supply, increasing scarcity.Example:
  • Year 1: 1M GHOST burned (0.1% of supply)
  • Year 2: 10M GHOST burned (1.0% of supply)
  • Year 5: 100M GHOST burned (10% of supply)
As supply decreases and demand (usage) increases, price should appreciate.
Users need GHOST to access premium features (staking tiers).Example:
  • Heavy user needs unlimited verifications
  • Options: Pay 100/monthinUSDCORstake5KGHOST( 100/month in USDC OR stake 5K GHOST (~0.28)
  • Obvious choice: Buy 5K GHOST and stake
This creates constant buy pressure from utility-driven demand.

Price Discovery

Why is GHOST so cheap? At $0.00005691 per GHOST, the token appears severely undervalued relative to protocol utility. Here’s why:
Cost to unlock unlimited verifications:
  • 5,000 GHOST × 0.00005691=0.00005691 = **0.28**
Value received:
  • Unlimited verifications (worth $100+ for active users)
  • USDC revenue share (~$7.50/month with current volume)
  • Annualized: $90/year in revenue share
Break-even analysis:
  • Upfront cost: $0.28
  • Monthly earnings: $7.50
  • Break-even time: 1.1 days
Verdict: At current prices, GHOST staking has a 1-day payback period. This is unsustainable - price should appreciate.
This is not financial advice. GHOST price is highly volatile and may not appreciate. Invest only what you can afford to lose. Past performance does not predict future results.

Roadmap

1

Q1 2026: Staking Launch

Completed - Staking live on devnet and mainnet
2

Q2 2026: Cross-Chain Bridging

Enable GHOST on Ethereum, Base, and Polygon via Wormhole
3

Q3 2026: Enhanced Revenue Share

Add new revenue streams for stakers (B2B enterprise contracts, premium features)
4

Q4 2026: Governance Launch

Enable on-chain governance via snapshot voting (1 GHOST = 1 vote)

Risks & Disclaimers

Investment Risks:
  1. Price Volatility: GHOST can drop 50%+ in a day (typical for small-cap crypto)
  2. Smart Contract Risk: Staking/revenue contracts may have bugs (not yet audited)
  3. Liquidity Risk: Low liquidity means large trades impact price significantly
  4. Regulatory Risk: Token regulations may change (consult a lawyer)
  5. Protocol Risk: If GhostSpeak fails, GHOST has no value
This is not financial advice. GHOST is a utility token for accessing protocol features, not an investment. Only participate if you understand and accept these risks.

Next Steps


Current Opportunity: At 0.00005691/GHOST,theVerifiedStakertiercostsjust0.00005691/GHOST, the Verified Staker tier costs just 0.28 but provides unlimited verifications + revenue share. This pricing won’t last - early stakers benefit most.
