  1. 3. Problem Statement

High Transaction Fees on Existing Platforms

High transaction fees represent a significant obstacle to the widespread adoption and utility of digital currencies, including the VSG Token, particularly on existing blockchain platforms like Ethereum. This problem manifests in several ways, impeding the efficiency, accessibility, and scalability of transactions within the ecosystem.

Challenges posed by High Transaction Fees:

  1. Cost Barrier to Entry:

    • High transaction fees act as a deterrent for new users and participants, limiting the accessibility of digital currencies to a broader audience. The prohibitive costs associated with transactions may discourage individuals from engaging with the VSG Token for everyday transactions, investments, or other use cases.

  2. Inhibitor of Microtransactions:

    • The high cost of transactions makes microtransactions economically unfeasible, constraining the potential for small-scale or frequent transactions. This limitation hampers the adoption of digital currencies for use cases such as micropayments, recurring payments, and other transactional activities that require low transaction fees.

  3. Scalability Bottleneck:

    • Transaction fees on existing platforms like Ethereum contribute to scalability bottlenecks, limiting the network's capacity to handle a high volume of transactions efficiently. As transaction fees increase during periods of network congestion, users may experience delays and higher costs, undermining the scalability and usability of the VSG Token for mass adoption.

  4. Impact on Use Cases:

    • High transaction fees pose challenges to specific use cases and applications of the VSG Token, particularly in decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, digital art, and other sectors where frequent transactions are integral. The elevated costs associated with transactions may impede innovation and limit the potential of these emerging industries to leverage digital currencies effectively.

Addressing the Problem of High Transaction Fees:

  1. Transition to VSC Blockchain:

    • The migration of VSG to the VSC blockchain presents an opportunity to mitigate high transaction fees by leveraging advanced scalability solutions and optimizing transaction processing. Unlike other platforms, VSC offers a unique aspect with a flat rate $4 gas fee, regardless of transaction size. By transitioning to VSC, VSG aims to significantly reduce transaction costs, making digital currencies more accessible and affordable for users.

  2. Implementation of Hyper-Deflationary Mechanism:

    • The hyper-deflationary mechanism introduced on the VSC blockchain, where $1 from each transaction fee is allocated to a buy-and-burn program, aims to reduce the total supply of VSG over time. This mechanism not only incentivizes token holders but also contributes to lowering transaction fees by optimizing resource allocation and network efficiency.

  3. Enhanced Scalability Solutions:

    • VSC will implement sharding and layer 2 solutions to enhance scalability, enabling the network to handle a higher volume of transactions without significantly increasing transaction fees. These scalability solutions are essential for supporting the growth and adoption of VSG across diverse use cases and industries.

By addressing the problem of high transaction fees, VSG aims to unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and adoption, fostering a more inclusive and efficient digital currency ecosystem on the VSC blockchain. This whitepaper explores the technical, economic, and strategic considerations driving this transition, outlining the path towards a more scalable, accessible, and cost-effective future for VSG and its users.
