Layer3 is the attention layer, decentralizing the engine behind internet giants via incentive and identity protocols. It acts as a universal connector between blockchain ecosystems, revolutionizing how they build community and distribute value with omnichain infrastructure. Users can discover and earn via incentives, quests, pre-token networks via launchpad, and a unified cross-chain identity.
The $L3 token facilitates access to Layer3 via a deflationary model and Layered Staking. It is essential for staking, accessing ecosystem functionalities, earning rewards based on network activity, participating in governance, and obtaining long-term loyalty perks. This model ensures that the token's value aligns with network growth and user engagement.
To access the Layer3 protocol and network, communities must buy and burn L3 tokens to post quests, deploy incentives, and access CUBE credentials.
What are the tokenomic details for L3?
A total supply of 3,333,333,333 L3 tokens One unified staking mechanism with three layers of rewards (called Layered Staking) Two burn mechanisms
Layered Staking: By staking on Layer3, users can earn passive yield (L3) proportional to the amount staked. Additionally, by staking and actively using Layer3, users will earn other governance tokens (e.g., OP, ARB), increased utility, and L3.
Burn mechanisms: Communities buy & burn L3 tokens to access the Layer3 network to post quests, deploy incentives, and access CUBE credentials. CUBE credentials are unique digital identifiers verifying a user's omnichain achievements, and are used to target specific users with incentives. Users can burn L3 tokens to access perks across the partner ecosystems, including early access, fee discounts, exclusive NFTs, and more.
