Demand drivers should create structural, recurring buy-side pressure. Examples include revenue-linked staking, token burns proportional to platform usage, mandatory staking for access, ecosystem rebates paid in token, and treasury buyback programs funded by real cash flows. Demand drivers should scale alongside adoption. Projects that rely solely on speculative inflows without embedded economic loops tend to experience boom-bust cycles. Designing demand drivers requires modeling user behavior, velocity, and unlock cadence in tandem.
