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. 11/11 end 🧵
