How does the Treasury Work?
Phase 2: The DATCO era, the Trap House goes corporate. Mint Proceeds will be used to form the Treasury.
Welcome to Phase 2 of Trap Game, where we leave the Trap House behind and enter our Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) era. What started as degen risky game of Cat and Mouse is now maturing into a full-fledged treasury-backed digital asset vehicle.
What is a Digital Asset Company (DAT)?
A Digital Asset Company (DAT) is a firm that explicitly focuses on acquiring, managing, and growing digital assets as its core business strategy. In our case, that means one thing: stacking as much $HYPE as possible.
The problem with Traditional play to earn
Most play to earn (P2E) games are structurally flawed, they are a short-term race where early players extract value, and late entrants become unwilling bagholding community members. It’s musical chairs with your money, and eventually, the music stops. These games are often unsustainable and collapse when the house of cards collapses.
The Trap Game Solution: Treasury-Backed Assets
Trap Game flips the P2E script by introducing Treasury Backed Assets. A system that rewards HODLers and compounds value over time.
Here’s how it works:
Every Trap Game NFT is backed by our growing Hype Treasury
This creates a floor of real value tied to actual HYPE held, not just speculative momentum
The total NFT supply is intrinsically linked to total treasury holdings
HODLers are rewarded, while short-term flippers get left behind
This structure rewards long-term holders instead of short term pump and dump flippers. It transforms Trap Game from a zero-sum exit game into a sustainable compounding ecosystem where value flows back to those who stay.
How It Works: Treasury Mechanics
All mint proceeds go directly into the Trap Game Hype Treasury, establishing the foundation for our asset-backed system.
Genesis Mint: 2,000 NFTs at 5 $HYPE each = 10,000 HYPE Treasury Start
100% of mint proceeds go directly into the Hype Treasury
Each NFT = 1 share of the Treasury
Treasury assets are used exclusively to grow and compound value
Periodic dividends or yield distributions may be issued to NFT holders
This is the DATCO Era.
How we scale:
Trap Game does not end with our mint. This is just the beginning.
Our team understands that an increased treasury brings about economics of scale. The larger our treasury, the more opportunities will come our way. Our initial 10,000 Hype Treasury from the mint is just the start. Post mint, our focus shifts to growing our treasury in every way possible.
Post-Mint Strategy: Upgrade Mechanics
To drive continued treasury growth and long-term participation, we introduce Upgrade Mechanics available from Phase 2 onward.
From Phase 2 onwards, players can upgrade their Cat NFTs. Note that only Cat NFTs can be upgraded. Mice remain….well, Mice.
Cat Upgrade System:
Cat Level can be upgraded
Each level will cost 5 Hype
Each Cat Level upgrade will count as 1 additional share of the Treasury.
Each Cat Level upgrade will count as 1 more power level to all Cat traits.
There is a 100% success rate to upgrade each Cat Level by spending 5 Hype.
Cats can be upgraded to a maximum of 100 Levels.
This upgrade loop is designed to incentivize reinvestment, increase individual stake to scale the treasury. This method will also allow us to minimize inflation as it does not accelerate inflation on our total supply.
