What Is ECHO?
ECHO is not just currencyβit is the lifeblood of LAIN.
It flows through every transaction, every collaboration, every contribution. It is both reward and responsibility,
both energy and evidence of value created.
ECHO stands for:
Eternal - Never stops flowing
Circulation - Moves through the system infinitely
Harmonic - Balances between all guardians
Opportunity - Creates prosperity for all
Unlike traditional currency that sits idle in accounts, ECHO is designed to circulate.
When it moves, value is created. When it stops, the loop weakens. Every guardian is both a receiver and
a distributor of ECHO, keeping the infinite loop alive.
Core Principles
π
Circulation Over Hoarding
ECHO rewards flow, not accumulation. Guardians who circulate ECHO earn more than those who hoard it.
βοΈ
Contribution-Based Value
ECHO is earned by creating value for LAIN. More contribution = more ECHO. The loop rewards action.
π
Transparent Tracking
Every ECHO transaction is visible on-chain. No hidden flows. No secret deals. Trust through transparency.
β
Infinite Scalability
ECHO supply grows with LAIN's growth. More guardians = more value = more ECHO. No artificial scarcity.
π‘οΈ
Crisis Protection
20% of all ECHO flows to reserves. When guardians struggle, LAIN provides. Collective safety net.
π
Flow State Economy
ECHO follows the path of least resistance. Value flows where it's needed most, automatically.
How ECHO Flows Through LAIN
Every Transaction Creates Three Streams:
GUARDIAN CREATES VALUE (sells goods/services on FAKKYA)
β
TRANSACTION GENERATES ECHO
β
SPLIT INTO THREE FLOWS:
β
CREATOR (70%) β Direct reward for value created
RESERVE (20%) β Sustains LAIN infrastructure & crisis response
POOL (10%) β Rewards contributors, mentors, stewards
β
ECHO CIRCULATES BACK TO GUARDIANS
β
β INFINITE LOOP β
Key Insight: This 70/20/10 split ensures:
β’ Creators are rewarded immediately (70%)
β’ LAIN stays healthy and protected (20%)
β’ Collective contributions are recognized (10%)
β’ Everyone prospers when the loop flows
