The amount required depends on the Activation Tier selected. Once activated, the Yuna becomes working and receives the Weight Multiplier assigned to that tier. ``` $WAIFUS ↓ ACTIVATION ↓ WORKING YUNA ↓ WEIGHT MULTIPLIER ``` ``` ACTIVATION ROUTING 70% BURN 20% LUCKY POT 10% PROTOCOL ``` See: [Activation](/activation/activate.md) ### **Promotion** $WAIFUS is used to move a working Yuna to a higher Activation Tier. A Promotion does not require paying the full Activation cost again. The Yuna pays only the $WAIFUS difference between her current tier and the tier being selected. ``` CURRENT TIER ↓ $WAIFUS DIFFERENCE ↓ HIGHER TIER ↓ UPDATED WEIGHT ``` ``` PROMOTION ROUTING 70% BURN 20% LUCKY POT 10% PROTOCOL ``` See: [Promotion](/activation/promotion.md) ### **Power-Ups** $WAIFUS is used to acquire items through the Item Shop. Power-Ups allows a Yuna's setup to be expanded or modified through items that belong to the individual Yuna and can be equipped through her Workstation. ``` $WAIFUS ↓ ITEM SHOP ↓ POWER-UPS ↓ YUNA ``` Item Shop purchases follow the same routing used by Activation and Promotion. ``` ITEM SHOP ROUTING 70% BURN 20% LUCKY POT 10% PROTOCOL ``` See: [Item Shop](/power-ups/item-shop.md) ### **Utility Routing** The core $WAIFUS utility systems share the same routing structure. ``` CORE UTILITY ROUTING ACTIVATION │ $WAIFUS ────── PROMOTION │ ITEM SHOP │ ▼ ┌───────────────────┐ │ 70% BURN │ │ 20% LUCKY POT │ │ 10% PROTOCOL │ └───────────────────┘ ``` ### **Supply Sinks** Burned $WAIFUS is permanently removed from supply and cannot re-enter circulation. Activation, Promotion and Item Shop purchases each route 70% of the $WAIFUS spent through their mechanisms to Burn. ``` $WAIFUS SPENT ↓ 70% BURN ↓ PERMANENTLY REMOVED ↓ CANNOT RE-ENTER SUPPLY ``` ### **Expanding the $WAIFUS Economy** As the Yuna Economy expands, $WAIFUS will serve as a routing and liquidity asset across the markets surrounding Yunas and Stock Tokens. This includes $WAIFUS liquidity pairs, Stock Token markets, protocol-owned liquidity and routing infrastructure designed to connect $WAIFUS with the assets underlying the Yuna Economy. The Strategic Reserve provides inventory to support this market infrastructure as it is introduced. ``` $WAIFUS MARKET INFRASTRUCTURE $WAIFUS │ ├── YUNA UTILITY │ ├── PROTOCOL LIQUIDITY │ ├── LIQUIDITY PAIRS │ ├── STOCK TOKEN MARKETS │ └── ROUTING INFRASTRUCTURE ``` ### **Stock Token Markets** Stock Tokens already sit at the center of the Yuna reward economy. As additional market infrastructure comes online, $WAIFUS will connect Yuna activity with supported Stock Token markets through new liquidity pairs and routing systems. For example, a $WAIFUS / Stock Token market can create a direct liquidity route between the native currency of the Yuna Economy and the Stock Tokens accumulated throughout it. ``` e.g., waifus(WAIFUS)/NVDA ``` Over time, this expands the role of $WAIFUS from powering individual Yuna utility into market infrastructure designed for use across the broader Robinhood Chain.
