A Balanced Economy
Fixed Supply and Issuance
There will only ever be a 21 million COGS – a homage to bitcoin. Playing BeyondHuman is the equivalent of bitcoin mining. You allocate your time and brain power and you receive COGS.
Furthermore, like the bitcoin issuance mechanic (arguably a perfect model to fairly distribute a currency across a network) Beyond Human rewards early contributors. The issuance rate is highest at the start and reduces over time, until all COGS have been issued.
A Fair Opportunity
The only way you can ever acquire new COGS is by playing the game. There will never be a pre-mine of COGS and no allocation is reserved for founders, core team, investors, partners or promoters.
COGS is currently being issued at a very high rate – and only to players. So the best opportunity to build up your resources is today. As the project progresses the issuance drops, increasing scarcity and in-game value.
Economic Flow
The flow of currency in BeyondHuman starts via the issuance of COGS via Grid Game into the hands of players. It can then be transferred between players or spent in the shop. COGS received by the shop are deposited into the BeyondHuman Treasury – to be used for project development, rewards and promotion. As development progresses, this flow will become more complex and the diagram below will be updated.

What are on-chain COGS?
COGS are the backbone of BeyondHuman’s economy. As you play Grid Game or trade with other players, you will build your balance of COGS.
If you want to, you can also remove them from the game as a web3 asset.
This is because COGS are also a fixed-supply ERC20 token. By using the Ethereum blockchain, the total supply of 21 million tokens can be proven. And it’s this foundation that ensures a fair and strategic economic system built exclusively for players.
Key features:
-
Earned Exclusively Through Gameplay: No token sale, pre-mine or reserved allocations. COGS is a currency by players, for players.
-
Fixed Supply: Only 21 million tokens will ever exist. Game issuance decreases over time, so early participants capture the most in-game value.
-
Essential for Strategic Gameplay: Use COGS for bribery, trading items, shop purchases and negotiations.
-
Player-Owned Economy: The project is moving towards a player driven self-sustaining market where resources, equipment, and services are traded among players and game entities.
Why use them?
Existing Players
Leverage the COGS you’ve already earned to dominate the BeyondHuman economy. Then withdraw COGS to take true ownership of your assets.
New Players
Start your journey in BeyondHuman by earning COGS in Grid Game. Early participants benefit from higher issuance rates.
Token Collectors
Collect web3 tokens? Then acquire COGS through an external exchange, then use them strategically in game.
