4. The $NGP Token
The $NGP token is the lifeblood of the New Gold Protocol ecosystem. More than a digital asset, it functions as the central mechanism that fuels governance, unlocks utility, and aligns incentives across all participants. Unlike inflationary DeFi tokens that erode value over time, $NGP is designed as a deflationary, multi-role token with intrinsic utility and sustainable economics.
Core Roles of $NGP:
Governance Credential – Grants holders voting rights in DAO governance, allowing them to shape upgrades, treasury allocations, and partnerships. Aurora AI augments this process by simulating outcomes and generating proposal summaries.
Certification & Access Rights – Functions as a passport to NGP’s ecosystem, unlocking participation in modules such as LP Bonds, Profit Pools, and hardware-based services.
Function Trigger Key – Activates intelligent services such as Aurora AI’s trading advisor, risk control modules, and strategy automation.
Token Utility in the Ecosystem:
Medium of exchange for native DEX and settlement wallet.
Staking asset for yield generation and liquidity provision.
Deflationary burn mechanism through transaction fees.
Required for participation in Layer 2 execution, DAO governance, RWA tokenization, and DePin access.
Hardware integration for secure governance signing, DID validation, and offline payments.
Economic Model:
Zero-Inflation Base: No uncontrolled issuance; capped total supply.
Deflationary Pressure: A percentage of fees and penalties are burned.
Profit Redistribution: Fees are distributed through the Profit Pool, rewarding holders.
DAO Treasury Buybacks: Treasury reserves stabilize markets and recycle value.
Governance and DAO Integration:
Proposal Rights: Token holders can create and submit proposals.
Voting Power: Token-weighted voting ensures consensus-driven decisions.
Delegation: Aurora AI enables smart delegation for efficient governance.
Transparency: All governance activities are permanently recorded on-chain.
Long-Term Utility Expansion:
Cross-chain settlement token within Layer 2 infrastructure.
Collateral for Web3 Credit Scoring systems.
Currency of AI Strategy Market, enabling trade of automated investment strategies.
Legal DAO compliance credential as jurisdictions recognize AI-governed DAOs.
In summary, $NGP is designed not only as a governance token but as a deflationary value engine and operational passport for the entire ecosystem.
