Core Utility: Access & Participation

The utility of the $ROAST token is currently centered around access and preferential treatment within the Burnie ecosystem:

• Staking for Exclusive Roasts:

  • Mechanism: Users who hold their $ROAST tokens to gain access to Burnie's independent code review service . This provides a direct, token-gated pathway to Burnie's core utility.

  • Exclusivity & Value: This hold-gated access contrasts with the alternative method – generating social engagement by tweeting about the project to request a review . Hodling is positioned as a more reliable, perhaps prioritized, method for receiving a code roast, thereby creating tangible utility and driving demand for holding $ROAST.

  • Vibe Coding Challenge (VCC) Priority:

  • Mechanism: Individuals who hold $ROAST tokens receive 'first preference' during the selection and shortlisting process for participating in the VCC .

  • Value Prop: This utility directly incentivizes developers and community members interested in participating in Burnie's flagship event to acquire and hold $ROAST. It effectively ties the desire for active community involvement to token holding, strengthening the ecosystem's internal economy.
