The next trillion-dollar economy might not have borders.
It might run on $APE. 🦍
Let’s break down how Yuga’s @OthersideMeta could evolve into a self-sustaining digital nation-state — powered by land, labor, and nodes
1/11 🧵
@OthersideMeta isn’t “just another metaverse.”
It’s an economic stack:
🏝️ Land (ERC-721)
🪙 Currency ($ape)
⚙️ Infrastructure (nodes)
🎨 Creators & commerce
🏛️ DAO governance
A fully on-chain version of a real economy.
2/11
At its core are nodes(Hypothetical) - the backbone of a decentralized world (@OthersideMeta)
🌐 Simulation nodes → run physics & player sync
📦 Storage nodes → host assets
⚡ Edge nodes → stream the world to players
They’re the miners and ISPs of the metaverse — paid in $APE for uptime.
3/11
To run one, you’ll likely need to stake:
🏝️ 1+ Otherdeed (land right)
💰 500–32 000 $APE (collateral)
That stake = skin in the game.
It secures the world, aligns incentives, and earns you real yield from player activity.
4/11
Here’s the money flow:
Players spend $APE → DAO treasury → split:
🔥 Burn (deflation)
🖥️ Node rewards
🎨 Creator fund
🏛️ DAO reserve (or @yugalabs)
No infinite emissions.
A closed, sustainable loop in @OthersideMeta
5/11
Example:
If 5,000 nodes support $10 M/month in world fees → $2 K monthly.
No Ponzi yield.
Pure revenue from real economic activity.
6/11
Now zoom out 📈
By 2035, Otherside could hit:
• 25 M active users
• $1,500 avg annual spend
→ $37 B in-world GDP
That’s the economy of a small nation — entirely digital.
7/11
Breakdown of that GDP:
💸 $1-2 B → node operators
🎨 $1 B → creators
🏛️ $0.5 B+ → DAO treasury
🔥 Constant burn → stronger $APE
A world in @OthersideMeta that literally pays for its own survival.
8/11
If $APE = reserve currency (1 B supply, velocity ≈ 4):
$40 B economy ⇒ equilibrium ≈ $10 per APE
…and higher if staking slows token velocity.
(Extremely conservative for @OthersideMeta) which I’ll cover in a future thread)
9/11
This isn’t just gaming.
It’s nation-building — on-chain.
🧱 Infrastructure
👷 Builders
🏛️ Governance
💰 Sound money
A permissionless world economy you can own a piece of.
10/11
If @yugalabs decentralizes compute + economy + governance…
@OthersideMeta stops being a project and becomes a protocol.
The Ethereum of experiences run with $ape.
