# Value Accrual

$GAMBA’s value is driven by multiple vectors:

### Token Curation

* Communities and developers participate in Multiplier's token curation voting process by staking $GAMBA to boost visibility for their preferred tokens.
* The platform operates a periodic token curation voting process where:
  * A fixed number of curation slots are available
  * Users assign $GAMBA to tokens they want to promote
  * At the end of each period, tokens with the most $GAMBA backing receive enhanced visibility
  * $GAMBA assigned to successfully curated tokens flows to the Treasury
  * Users with $GAMBA assigned to unsuccessful tokens can reassign, withdraw, or roll over their stake
* This process creates competitive demand for $GAMBA while converting it into an economic representation of the platform's advertising value.

### Liquidity Bootstrapping

* The wagering process creates natural buy pressure as ETH enters the pool.
* Simultaneously, it reduces circulating $GAMBA supply as tokens are locked in the liquidity pool.
* This cycle strengthens price stability while creating an upward price trajectory for $GAMBA.

### Deflationary Tokenomics

* A fixed total supply of 100 billion $GAMBA tokens with no additional minting ensures scarcity.
* The token curation voting process and staking remove $GAMBA from circulation.
* These deflationary pressures gradually increases the value of remaining tokens in circulation.

### Staking Incentives

* Staking locks tokens for set periods, reducing circulating supply.
* Tiered staking rewards (30/90/180 days) create long-term holding incentives.
* The combination of reduced supply and increased holding periods supports token value growth.
