POKER
PROTOCOL

Tokenomics:
The tokenomics of PokerDAO is based on the protocol’s own token, $PKD. The $PKD token is a meta-token, allowing all participants – players, table creators and front end operators who stake the token – to earn yield accrued by the protocol, through rake.

Poker DAO:
PokerDAO governance manages the minimum fee capture of all participants and manages the amount of $PKD tokens distributed amongst players, table creators and front end operators

Front end operators:
When creating their front end, the operator sets how much rake they want to receive and how much goes to Poker DAO. The more allocated to poker DAO, the more of the liquidity mining they – and the players using their front end – receive. Operators can also set If they want to do their own liquidity mining for players, on top of the PokerDAO base level provided. To become operators and receive yield, they obtain and stake $PKD tokens.

Table creators:
These users can also set how much of the rake they want to receive. The higher the amount they choose to take for themselves, the less liquidity mining profits their players receive from Poker DAO and the Front End Operator. Table creators can create a table on any front-end and with any token.

Players:
Players are always rewarded with $PKD tokens for playing on PokerDAO – this is based on their contribution of fees paid into the DAO Treasury, an activity known as staking. This gives players ownership of the DAO. Players can also receive a portion of the fees distributed by PokerDAO from the whole ecosystem, by staking $PKD tokens in this way.
