# Economic Engine

Sweep is built on an **activity-based protocol architecture** where user interactions are directly converted into economic outputs. Every action within the system represents not only a gameplay event, but also the generation of measurable **on-chain transaction volume**.

In traditional systems, gameplay and value generation operate independently. Sweep unifies these layers under a **single interaction layer**, where all user actions—such as participating in games, executing transactions, or interacting with system features—are processed as economic inputs at the protocol level.

This transaction volume activates an embedded **protocol fee mechanism**. Fees generated through platform activity are allocated across two core mechanisms:

* **50% → Burn:** Allocated to the SWEEP burn mechanism, permanently removing tokens from circulation
* **50% → Distribution:** Allocated to the USDT distribution mechanism for eligible users

This mechanism operates in a fully **deterministic and automated** manner. It does not rely on manual intervention, governance decisions, or external liquidity sources. As system activity increases, both the total burned supply and distributed value scale proportionally.

All outcomes within Sweep are generated through a **rule-based execution model**. Results are produced based on predefined logic and are not subject to external control or manipulation. This ensures consistency, predictability, and integrity across all system operations.

The platform follows a **non-custodial architecture**, where users retain full control over their assets. All transactions are executed directly on-chain via user wallets, ensuring transparency, traceability, and verifiable ownership without reliance on centralized custody.

In essence, Sweep integrates gameplay mechanics, transaction volume, and token economics into a unified **value generation system**. Each user interaction contributes to a continuous economic cycle, directly impacting both real-time user outputs and long-term supply dynamics.

In essence, Sweep game mechanics connect gameplay, transaction volume, and token economics into a single unified system. Each action contributes to a continuous value loop where participation drives both user rewards and long-term ecosystem sustainability.

Protocol fee rates and their allocation may be adjusted in the future based on ecosystem development, market conditions, and protocol requirements. Any changes will be communicated transparently to the community.
