The $MACRO Ladder
The $MACRO Ladder
A value system that benefits holders, not advertisers.
How the Ladder Works
The Macro Ladder creates multiple value pathways for $MACRO holders. Each "rung" adds utility and benefits that increase with ecosystem usage.
Rung 1: Hold $MACRO → Ecosystem Access
Minimum holding unlocks the ecosystem:
Access to Privacy Profiles
Signing Sandbox protection
Basic VPN access
Tab-Aware AI features
E2EE communications
Entry barrier:
Prevents spam and abuse
Ensures users have skin in the game
Creates baseline demand
Rung 2: Revenue Share → Earn from Growth
Holders share in ecosystem revenue:
Revenue sources:
Privacy mixer fees
Premium subscriptions
VPN bandwidth sales
Enterprise solutions
Private RPC access
Distribution:
Proportional to holdings
Automatic distribution
No claiming required
Transparent on-chain
Example: Hold 10,000 $MACRO, earn percentage of all ecosystem fees.
Rung 3: Premium Access → Advanced Features
Higher holdings unlock premium capabilities:
Premium features:
Unlimited Privacy Profiles (vs 3 free)
Priority VPN routing (faster speeds)
Advanced AI capabilities (larger models)
Enhanced mixer features (faster mixing, lower fees)
Private RPC access (no rate limits)
Tiers:
Basic: 0-1,000 $MACRO
Premium: 1,000-10,000 $MACRO
Pro: 10,000+ $MACRO
Rung 4: Discounts → Subscriptions with $MACRO
Pay subscriptions with $MACRO for discounts:
Discount structure:
Pay with $MACRO: 30% discount
Pay with ETH: Standard price
Annual subscriptions: Additional 20% off
Why discounts:
Creates buy pressure (users purchase $MACRO to save money)
Rewards long-term holders
Incentivizes ecosystem participation
Rung 5: Staking for Credits → In-Browser Services
Stake $MACRO to earn service credits:
Credits can be spent on:
Additional AI queries
Extra VPN bandwidth

Custom features
Staking rewards:

Credits don't expire
Flexible unstaking (7-day unbonding)

Rung 6: Buy-Backs and Burns → Value Accrual
Revenue used for buy-backs, tokens burned:
Buy-back mechanism:
30% of ecosystem revenue → buy-backs
Purchased tokens burned permanently
Reduces circulating supply
Increases scarcity
Transparency:
On-chain buy-back transactions
Public burn address
Quarterly burn reports
Long-term effect:
Decreasing supply
Increasing scarcity
Value accrual to remaining holders
The Cycle
Usage drives fees → More ecosystem activity generates revenue
Fees fuel the ladder → Revenue distributed, features unlocked, buy-backs executed
Ladder creates demand → Users buy $MACRO for access, discounts, staking
Demand reduces supply → Buy-backs + burns decrease circulating tokens
Scarcity drives more usage → Better features, more users, higher usage
Cycle continues → Self-reinforcing growth loop
Traditional browsers monetize you. Macro creates an economy around protecting you.
