BGC X IBLOOMING SIMULATION DOC V0.1

Defines the simulation plan for the BGC × iBLOOMING integration. For internal use by BGC × iBLOOMING founders & core team. Scope: Phase-1 Simulation for ALPHA Layer & Reward Sustainability

Status: Draft v0.1 — For internal use by BGC × iBLOOMING founders & core team. Author: Prof. NOTA v.11.11 Scope: Phase-1 Simulation for ALPHA Layer & Reward Sustainability


hashtag
1. Purpose & Context

This document defines the simulation plan for the BGC × iBLOOMING integration.

Its main purposes are:

  • To translate 24-month historical data (PC, SP, rewards, cash-outs, user behaviour) into a simulation model.

  • To derive sustainable parameter ranges for:

    • PC/SP → ALPHA conversions,

This Simulation Doc reads together with:

  • (strategic context & execution pillars),

  • (AS-IS model),

  • ,


hashtag
2. Scope & Non-Scope

hashtag
2.1 In Scope

  • Phase-1 ALPHA Layer simulation, using real BGC × iBLOOMING operational data.

  • Modeling of:

    • PC/SP generation and consumption,

hashtag
2.2 Out of Scope (for v0.1)

  • UX design and UI flows.

  • Final smart contract implementation details (covered in ALPHA Blueprint).

  • Public token market dynamics (iBC/iBTC trading, order books, etc.).


hashtag
3. Data Sources & Assumptions

hashtag
3.1 Data Sources (24-Month Window)

  • BGC transaction logs:

    • PC (Purchase Credit) events,

    • SP (Sales Point) events,

hashtag
3.2 Key Assumptions

  • Data is sufficiently clean to support scenario modeling (minor anomalies will be noted).

  • AS-IS reward rules from are taken as baseline behaviour.

  • No new external shocks (e.g. regulation bans) are assumed in v0.1 scenarios.


hashtag
4. Simulation Model Overview

hashtag
4.1 Entities

  • Member: an individual with PC/SP history, wallet balance, and cash-out actions.

  • Event:

    • PC creation,

hashtag
4.2 Time Resolution

  • Base time unit: monthly, with the ability to drill down to weekly if needed.

  • Simulation horizon: 24 months historical, plus projected 12–24 months (optional).

hashtag
4.3 State Variables

Examples:

  • Total PC, total SP, and their distributions.

  • Reward obligations (outstanding, paid, pending).

  • Member-level balances and cash-out frequency.

6. Scenario Design

We will define multiple simulation scenarios.

Each scenario will produce metrics for:

  • sustainability,

  • fairness,

  • liquidity,

  • member experience.

hashtag
6.1 Baseline Scenario

  • Mirrors AS-IS behaviour as closely as possible.

  • Purpose: ensure simulation output matches historical patterns.

hashtag
6.2 Conservative Scenario

  • Lower reward intensity,

  • stricter caps and windows,

  • focus on treasury safety and long-term sustainability.

hashtag
6.3 Growth Scenario

  • Higher reward intensity for selected segments,

  • more aggressive growth incentives,

  • monitored for sustainability risks.

hashtag
6.4 Stress-Test Scenarios

  • Sudden drop in sales (e.g. -30% revenue).

  • Rapid membership growth (e.g. 2× active members in 12 months).

  • High cash-out demand (spike in withdrawals).

hashtag
6.5 Scenario Parameter Sets (v0.1)

For v0.1, not all parameters will be varied across scenarios. We will focus on a subset of primary “knobs”:

  • Reward intensity & pools: R_global, R_pool

  • ALPHA caps & sinks: cap_u, cap_g, S_target

All other parameters will remain at their default values for v0.1, unless explicitly stated.

hashtag
6.5.1 Core Scenario Grid

Parameter
Baseline (AS-IS-ish)
Conservative (“Safety-First”)
Growth (“Expansion”)
Notes

Interpretation (for later discussions):

  • Baseline: very close to existing BGC behaviour, with modest guardrails.

  • Conservative: rewards are dialed down slightly, treasury thresholds are stricter, and cash-out is run under a quarterly window model for stress comparison.

  • Growth: reward intensity is higher, sinks are more active, cash-out is more user-friendly, and gas sponsorship is more generous.

These parameter sets are starting points. They can be refined after the first simulation runs.

hashtag
6.6 External Shocks for Stress-Test Scenarios

Stress-test scenarios focus less on changing parameters and more on applying external shocks to the Baseline or Conservative parameter sets.

For v0.1, we will use the following external shocks:

  1. Revenue Shock (Downturn)

    • Overall PC/SP inflow reduced by 30% over a 6–12 month period.

    • Goal: observe how quickly treasury runway degrades and whether safety thresholds (T_runway, T_payoutMax

These shocks can be applied on top of:

  • Baseline parameters, to mimic “realistic but stressed” conditions, and

  • Conservative parameters, to see if safety-first settings are sufficient.

The results will inform:

  • how robust the chosen parameter ranges are,

  • whether additional guardrails are needed,

  • and what “worst-case” founder decisions should prepare for.


hashtag
7. Metrics & Evaluation Criteria

Key metrics include:

  • Treasury Sustainability

    • net outflow vs inflow,

    • reserve ratio over time,


hashtag
8. Simulation Workflow

High-level workflow:

  1. Data Ingestion

    • Extract and clean 24-month dataset.

  2. Model Preparation


hashtag
9. Expected Outputs & Deliverables

From this Simulation v0.1, we expect:

  • Simulation Report v0.1

    • description of scenarios and parameter ranges tested,

    • tables/graphs of key metrics,


hashtag
10. Open Questions for Founders

A non-exhaustive list of decisions where founder input is needed:

  • Acceptable range for cash-out flexibility vs treasury safety.

  • Appetite for growth-heavy vs conservative reward intensities.

  • Minimum acceptable reserve buffer.

These questions will be refined once the first simulation runs are available.


hashtag
11. Versioning & Next Steps

  • v0.1 (this doc):

    • Define structure, scope, parameters, and scenarios.

  • v0.2:

Next immediate task:

  • Implement v0.1 across:

    • data extraction,

    • parameter tables,

    • Active member count increased by 50% over 12 months.

    • Goal: see how payout/inflow ratio and treasury buffers behave when members try to realise rewards more aggressively.

  • Behavioural Shift Shock (Increased Utility Usage)

    • ALPHA sinks become more attractive (e.g. more classes, boosts, CP products).
