The Power of DSTRX

February 24, 2025

Welcome to the latest edition of The Districts Digest.

Today, we’re exploring DSTRX, the governance token at the core of the Districts ecosystem. With a fixed supply of 125M, designed for sustainable growth and decentralized decision-making, DSTRX fuels everything from land minting to community governance—ensuring Districts remains a dynamic, user-driven virtual world.

A Token Designed for Growth

DSTRX introduces an innovative issuance model: it can only be minted when users claim new Land Pixels (geographical coordinates). This ensures a gradual, controlled distribution aligned with platform expansion, preventing overinflation and reinforcing long-term value.

Beyond issuance, DSTRX is the key to governance. Token holders shape Districts’ future by voting on LandRush events, system upgrades, and economic policies, ensuring that decisions reflect the needs of the community.

Beginning with the first LandRush, governance of Districts will start migrating from the project team to the Districts community. Once fully implemented, the Districts ecosystem aims to gradually become a decentralized, autonomous organization (DAO) through a comprehensive system to generate proposals on future changes and improvements and vote on them through staking of DSTRX tokens.

Here’s a breakdown of what the total (125M) distribution of DSTRX will look like:

  • 100M supply cap for Land Pixel minting rewards and staking rewards.

  • 20M supply cap for the Districts project development/team (minted alongside Land Pixel minting rewards, e.g. when a user receives a 10,000 DSTRX minting rewards for minting a Land Pixel, the team wallet will receive 2,000 DSTRX, or 20%). The team will only receive tokens when/if Land Pixels are minted.

  • 5M for DSTRX DEX/CEX liquidity provision (these will be premined into a publicly identified wallet address).

The Many Utilities of DSTRX

DSTRX, however, is more than a currency—it’s the foundation of the Districts ecosystem. Here’s what it powers:

  • Land Minting & Ownership – Newly claimed Land Pixels generate DSTRX, linking virtual land directly to the token economy.

  • Governance Participation – Holders vote on key platform decisions, from LandRush events to auction mechanics.

  • Staking & Rewards – Land Bank staking provides opportunities to receive staking rewards.

  • Trading & Auctioning – Land Pixels can be bought, sold and exchanged using RIO, while your DSTRX token ownership can remain intact.

  • DeFi Integrations – As an ERC-20 token, DSTRX connects seamlessly with lending and trading protocols, with future plans for real-world asset (RWA) integration.

What’s Next for Districts?

Following the launch of Districts in Q1 2025, Districts is gearing up for an exciting future. The next phase will expand LandRush events, giving more users the opportunity to claim land and shape the ecosystem. Enhanced governance tools are on the horizon, making it easier for users to vote on crucial platform updates and even participate in auction-based Land Pixel sales. Additionally, Districts is exploring deeper DeFi integrations, potentially incorporating real-world assets (RWAs) into its blockchain-based economy, looking to become the Zillow for RWAs.

As Districts continues to evolve, DSTRX remains a fundamental pillar—empowering users, fostering governance, and ensuring a thriving decentralized economy. Stay tuned for the latest developments as we build the future of the virtual world.
