Utility

The $NURI token underpins nearly every meaningful interaction on the Nuri platform. Unlike speculative tokens with limited application, $NURI is deeply embedded into the platform’s health, fitness, and nutrition features - ensuring real utility, day-to-day demand, and behavior-aligned value accrual.

1. Earned Through Engagement

• Users earn $NURI by consistently engaging with the platform:

  • Logging meals or photos (nutrition)

  • Hitting step goals or logging workouts (fitness)

• Bonus emissions for milestone behaviors (e.g. 30-day streaks, fasting challenges)

1. Unlocking Premium Features

Web3-Backed Token Design Principles

Nuri’s tokenomics are grounded in successful patterns from leading Web3 ecosystems:

• Token-as-Utility Layer: Similar to StepN, Sweatcoin, and Lens Protocol, $NURI acts as the incentive rail for a behavioral feedback loop.

• Deflationary Mechanics:

  • 1% burn on every token-based Premium unlock

  • Treasury-initiated buybacks during ecosystem surplus

• Long-Term Incentive Alignment:

  • Staking APY calibrated to user retention, not just speculation

  • Unlockable perks are tied to wellness outcomes (not time-based farming)

• Fair Distribution:

  • Token emission tied to verified engagement, reducing abuse

  • No airdrops for inactives or non-participants

Sweatcoin	Fitness only	Step-based rewards, fiat conversion	Limited scope, high churn
StepN	Fitness + GameFi	Sneaker upgrades, challenges	Prone to inflation, limited non-fitness use
Nuri (Proposed)	Fitness, Nutrition, Wellness (3D)	Unlocks, boosts, governance, analytics	Multi-vertical utility with real-world tracking
Noom / MyFitnessPal	None (Fiat subscription only)	-	No token-based user ownership

4.4 The Value Loop: From Action to Ownership

Nuri creates a circular value economy:

1. User acts → logs habit (meal, fast, workout, mood)

2. Earns $NURI → based on accuracy, effort, and consistency

3. Spends $NURI → for upgrades, feedback, or challenges

4. Improves health → deeper personalization via AI

5. Stake or vote → shape platform, earn more, unlock more

This loop ensures utility is not theoretical - it’s daily, visible, and motivational.

Together, these mechanics transform $NURI from just a digital reward into an ownership and empowerment tool - making it core to user retention, growth, and the long-term vision of building a tokenized Wellness OS for the world.
