About this model

I want to design and stress-test the economy of a reward currency called “SuperCoin” for a large ecommerce-led SuperApp.

Please build a detailed Machinations-style economic simulation using the following real parameters.

⸻

1️⃣ Core Economic Parameters

Coin Value • 1 SuperCoin = 1,000 IRR (1,000 Toman discount value) • Coins can only be used as discount at checkout • Max redemption per order = 20% of order value (variable for scenario testing)

Earning Logic • Coins cannot be purchased directly • Earn sources: • 1% to 5% of order value (category-dependent) • Daily / weekly missions • Games • Plus users earn 1.5x multiplier • Target emission: approx. 0.5% of monthly NMV distributed as coin

Expiration • All coins expire after 90 days

⸻

2️⃣ Build Economy Structure

Design the following Machinations elements:

Sources (Emission Nodes) • Purchase-based earn (variable rate 1%–5%) • Game rewards (controlled emission pool) • Mission rewards (fixed daily cap) • Plus multiplier modifier node

Sinks (Burn Nodes) • Checkout discount redemption • Special offer unlocks (optional) • Tier acceleration (optional)

State Variables • Total Coin Supply in circulation • Monthly Coin Emission • Monthly Coin Burn • Expired Coins • Active Coin Holders • Average Coin Balance per User

⸻

3️⃣ Economic Stress Test Scenarios

Simulate over 24 months:

Scenario A – Base Case • 0.5% NMV emission • 20% max redemption • 90-day expiration

Scenario B – High Emission Risk • 5% earn across all products • Increased game rewards • Plus penetration increases to 30%

Scenario C – Burn Drop • Redemption rate drops by 40% • Users hoard coins

Scenario D – Aggressive Redemption • Max redemption increased to 40% • High usage campaign

⸻

4️⃣ Analyze & Output

For each scenario calculate: • Coin Inflation Rate • Coin Velocity (Burn / Supply) • Average Liability Exposure • Cost per Active User • Risk of Economic Instability • Break-even earning/burn ratio

⸻

5️⃣ Identify Guardrails

Propose optimal ranges for: • Daily earning cap per user • Max monthly emission as % of NMV • Expiration duration • Safe earning-to-burn ratio • Plus multiplier ceiling • Max redemption cap

⸻

6️⃣ Deliverables

Provide: • Conceptual Machinations diagram structure • Risk map (Inflation vs Burn insufficiency) • Sustainable economic parameter ranges • Early warning KPI dashboard • Executive summary for product leadership

Focus on building a scalable, inflation-resistant internal economy that supports long-term retention and LTV growth in a growing ecommerce SuperApp.
