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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
