Empowering Economies Through Tokenomics

Forget the complex definition tokenomics is just a fancy way of saying how an economy works when it’s built on a blockchain. Just like regular economics governs how money moves in the real world, tokenomics decides how digital money (tokens) is created, used, and distributed inside a blockchain-based system.

In the Community Grocery Store (CGS) app, tokenomics ensures fair and low-cost transactions while cutting out middlemen, so user, whether consumer or grower benefit directly. It's designed to make the system transparent, efficient, and community-driven.

Building CGS on the blockchain minimizes transaction costs, reduces reliance on intermediaries, and creates a transparent and decentralized financial ecosystem to support local trade.

Consumer To Grower Transaction - Cutting Out Middle Men

The Community Grocery Store (CGS) app disrupts the traditional fresh produce supply chain by enabling direct consumer-to-grower transactions, significantly reducing costs and inefficiencies. Research has shown that in conventional supermarket distribution, only 14.9 cents of every dollar spent on fresh produce reaches the farmer, while 85.1 cents go towards marketing, logistics, and retail markups. CGS eliminates intermediaries by allowing consumers to purchase produce directly from growers through a seamless, tech-driven marketplace. Instead of burdening growers with excessive fees, CGS implements a fairer fee structure, where a small transaction fee is charged to consumers, and a separate marketing fee is applied to growers—both fractions of the inflated costs imposed by traditional retail chains. This model keeps more revenue in the hands of local growers while ensuring consumers access fresher, more affordable produce, strengthening local food systems, and promoting sustainability through reduced transportation and waste. By leveraging blockchain technology and AI-driven supply-demand forecasting, CGS provides a transparent, decentralized, and community-led alternative to industrial food distribution, ensuring economic benefits remain within the communities it serves.

Token Generation & Launch

The CGS tokenomics model ensures fair distribution and accessibility from the outset.

Beginning with a Token Generation Event (TGE) for the Decentralised Exchange (DEX) token, the process transitions into a fair launch Initial Coin Offering (ICO).

This dual approach guarantees equal opportunities to participate for early adopters.

The initial launch will take place on Uniswap (a leading decentralized exchange), with plans to expand to Centralized Exchanges (CEX) in the future. This will further increase accessibility and reach.

Stable Token for Transactions

Within the CGS app, a stable token facilitates trades to ensure price stability and build trust amongst users.

Consumers can directly transact with each other (consumer-to-consumer) or with businesses (consumer-to-business).

Buying Tokens

Buying the stable token does not require KYC, it can be done using any currency in the world using Fiat or credit card - through Apple Pay or Google Pay.

2
Selling Tokens

Requires KYC compliance to meet government regulations for food safety.

This strict selling requirement makes the app user-friendly, compliant with legal requirements, and creates a secure and streamlined experience for users.

Trade Fee Structure

Every in-app transaction is subject to a small fee.

These fees are held in reserve for seven days during trade finalization, allowing for any necessary/potential refunds (due to poor produce quality issues etc).

This transaction and refund system is fair and builds trust between trading parties to ensure smooth and reliable transactions.
